title: [Infra-osseous pockets and filling technics].
abstract: It is showed that severe periodontal pockets can be treated with success by non-surgical techniques. Nevertheless, numerous reports have appeared in the periodontal literature regarding the use of allografts, xenografts and alloplastic implants. The most investigated Calcium Phosphate biomaterials are composed of either Hydroxyapatite or Tricalcium Phosphate. In a number of studies on the regenerative potential of the periodontal tissues following periodontal grafting surgery it has been shown that pocket depth decreased but no indication of new periodontal attachment or cementogenesis adjacent to the graft particles was demonstrated. The authors felt the material was a biocompatible "fill". Histologic observations were accomplished and regularly showed the presence of a long junctional epithelial adhesion.
