Treatment of a periodontal intrabony pocket in man by a mucoperiosteal free graft combined with a calcium phosphate implant.
A two-walled intrabony pocket was treated by a mucoperiosteal free graft interposed between the curetted root surface and a calcium phosphate implant. The eighteen months follow up radiography showed complete healing of the bone defect, a normal periodontal ligament space, an uninterrupted lamina dura and a well-formed septum. The use of mucoperiosteal free graft may supply the wounded area with different cells such as fibroblasts, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, periosteal cells, intercellular fibers and biochemical substances such as glucosaminoglycans, proteoglycans etc...
