Abstract :

In regenerative periodontal therapy, various novel material has been used to predictably achieve true periodontal regeneration. In this study, MTA, i.e. Mineral trioxide aggregate has been used in Hamp�s degree II furcation defects in Test Group and in Control Group, bioactive glass was used. From the result of this study, it could be assessed that Hamp�s degree II furcation defects treated by MTA and Bioactive glass, both demonstrated a significant improvement in the pocket probing depth and clinical attached level at 6 months post-surgery. In both the groups, a statistically significant improvements in both clinical and radiologic parameter from Day 0 to 6 month was evident.
