Abstract :

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of a resorbable memane with a bone graft substitute in the management of an infrabony defect in a mandibular left first premolar in a patient with chronic generalized gingivitis with localized periodontitis. Methodology: An infrabony defect of 3 mm around the mandibular left first premolar was evident after deidement. The defect was filled up with a bone graft substitute (DMBM, OsseograftTM) and covered with a resorbable GTR memane (HealiguideTM). Results: The site showed significant bone fill at the end of 9 months with reduction in probing depth. Conclusion: In this case, excellent results in terms of probing depth reduction and bone fill were obtained.
