Abstract
Background : Research has demonstrated the possible therapeutic values of tetracycline hydrochloride (TTC-HCl) conditioning of the root surfaces with the use of membranes for G.T.R. to enhance new connective tissue attachment on the root surface. Objective : To evaluate the clinical outcomes of utilizing the bioresorbable membrane in the intrabony defects with and without the use of TTC-HCl root conditioning Study design: A case-control study. Setting : Department of Periodontics, Subharti Dental College, Meerut Uttar Pradesh, India.. Participants : 20 patients Sampling : Random sampling. Statistical Analysis : Data entry and statistical analysis were carried out using SPSS 10. Unpaired student t test was applied Results : On comparing the values of pocket depth(PD) and clinical attachment levels (CAL) of Group A and Group B patients at baseline, 3 and 6 months, a decrease in the PD and gains in CAL after the treatment were observed. Intergroup comparison of the treatment outcomes on PD and CAL revealed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion : It was concluded that combining GTR technique with the TTC-HCl root conditioning does not improve the results in terms of clinical outcomes.
