Application of 4MATRIX and PRF in the Treatment of Infrabone Defects in Chronic Periodontopathy

Bylbyl Reçica et al. Med Arch. 2021 Oct.

Abstract

Background: Periodontal disease also called gum disease is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone and result in different types of alveolar bone defects. That means that periodontal pockets are present and registered only in case of periodontal disease.

Objective: The aim of this study is to observe the effect of 4MATRIX and PRF application in the treatment of infrabone defect over case report.

Material and methods: By using regenerative surgical periodontal therapy 4MATRIX bone substituent with 4MATRIX and PRF for elimination of deep pockets or periodontal disease was performed among patient at selected sites.

Case report: The patient's periodontal condition has followed 3, 6- and 9-month period. The patient's oral health-related quality of life showed a marked improvement after periodontal surgery therapy.

Conclusion: Additional application of PRF and 4MATRIX in conventional surgical treatment of infrabone defects showed decreased values of PPD and CAL registered in the segment treated after 9 months of treatment.

Keywords: 4 MATRIX; Chronic periodontitis; PRF; periodontal regeneration.
