title: [A cortico-cancellous graft with a periosteal pedicle for the treatment of deep single-walled bone pockets].
abstract: The treatment of single-walled bone pockets involves a number of problems. Conventional treatment methods fail to bring about permanent success, particularly in the more advanced stages. A new method has been developed and described using a cortico-cancellous graft harvested from the apical region of the teeth with a periosteal pedicle that can be inserted into the highly infection-prone area of a bone pocket. The advantage of this procedure is that the transplant is perfused and thus not subjected to necrosis but highly resistant to infections. Indications, practical procedure and success rates are discussed and illustrated in one example.
