title: Effects of resorbable membrane placement and human osteogenic protein-1 on hard tissue healing after periradicular surgery in cats.
abstract: Periradicular surgeries were performed on the maxillary cuspid teeth of twelve cats. Before reapproximation of the surgical flaps, eight of the osteotomies were covered with a resorbable membrane and eight were filled with human osteogenic protein-1 (hOP-1) on a collagen carrier. The remaining eight sites received no further treatment and served as controls. The animals were euthanized after 12 wk, and the specimens were examined histomorphometrically for the presence or absence of osseous regeneration, inflammation, and cementum formation on the root ends. The results showed that the sites treated with the membrane exhibited significantly more inflammation adjacent to the resected root ends (p < 0.05), and that the use of the membrane had no statistically significant effect on osseous healing or new cementum formation. The use of hOP-1 was associated with a significant decrease in the thickness of new cementum formed on the resected root ends (p < 0.05), but had no statistically significant effect on osseous healing or degree of inflammation. Based on these results, it seems that neither the use of hOP-1 nor resorbable membranes have a positive effect on periradicular tissue healing in endodontic surgery.
