title: [Tricalcium phosphate implant in periodontal defects--initial 3 months].
abstract: The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of tricalcium phosphate implant in human osseous defects. 4 intraosseous defects in 2 patients were treated with mucoperiosteal flap and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) implant and another 5 defects in the same patients were debrided only via mucoperiosteal flap. The healing response was evaluated clinically 10-12 weeks after treatment. More reduction in probing depth and more gains in probing attachment levels were observed in implanted sites than in control sites.
