In this study, the amount of mass was not measured on reentry. Therefore,
intrabony defects were simply classified as three-wall,
two-wall, or one-wall according
to the entrance of the defect, and bone fill was most likely
to occur in
three-wall intrabony defects.
Cortellini et al showed that the number of walls in the
entrance of defects
is important from the point of view of predictability of
bone fill. However,
the author's clinical results showed no difference in
attachment gain or bone fill
in relation to the type of defect (Table 4-2).

Position of Membrane
The coronal position of the membrane is an important
factor in predicting the
amount of tissue regeneration. Caton et al '' created onewall osseous defects in
the proximal tooth surfaces of monkeys which they
studied histologically 1
month and 3 months later. Regeneration of periodontal
tissue occurred in onewall
osseous defects of proximal surfaces, but the amount of
tissue regeneration
was determined by the position of the membrane; the
more coronal the membrane,
the more regeneration achieved. They found that the least
regeneration
was achieved where the membrane was collapsed into the
intrabony defect area.
If the membrane is placed more coronally, more space for
regeneration is
acquired. However, it is useful to support the membrane's
shape with grafted
key points:
Key points
1. Prepare thick flaps to prevent necrosis and perforation.
2. Prepare an incision to preserve the interdental papilla as
much as possible in order to
cover the membrane completely.
3. Extend the incision 1-2 teeth mesiodistally for access
and sufficient blood supply during
surgery.
4. Add a vertical incision 1-2 teeth mesial to the defect
area if necessarv.
5. Reflect the flaps properly apical to the mucogingival
junction.
6. Remove the gingival sulcus epithelium inside the flap
with a new blade, gingival scissors,
curette, and bur to facilitate bonding of the membrane and
flaps after flap reflection.
7. Make a partial-thickness flap apical to the
mucogingival junction (MGJ) for complete
membrane coverage and coronal migration of flaps.

Key point
To prevent flap necrosis and perforation, make the flaps
as thick as possible. Never make
an incision in which the tissue is thinned or partially
dissected. Gingiva is thinner buccally
Key points
Membrane selection and trimming
1. Choose the most suitable membrane for the defect area
and its morphology and trim the
membrane accordingly. The membrane should be made as
small as possible because the
membrane interferes with the flap's blood supply.
Enamel:
B i o r n o d i f i c a t i o n of Root Surface. Changes in the
tooth surface wall of periodontal pockets (e.g.,
degeneration
of remnants of Sharpey's fibers, accumulation of
bacteria and their products, disintegration of cementum
and dentin) interfere with new attachment. Although
these obstacles to new attachment can be eliminated by
thorough root planing, the root surface of the pocket can
be treated to improve its chances of accepting the new
attachment of gingival tissues.
Several substances have been proposed for this purpose,
including citric acid, fibronectin, and tetracycline.
Citric Acid. Studies by Urist showed that the implantation
of demineralised bone, enamel, and dentin matrix
Fibronectin. Fibronectin is the glycoprotein that
fibroblasts require to attach to root surfaces. The addition
of fibronectin to the root surface may promote new
attachment.'''' .'" Ilowever, increasing fibronectin above
plasma levels produces no obvious advantages. Adding
fibronectin and citric acid to lesions treated with GTR in
dogs did not improve the results.''.'"
Tetracycline. In vitro treatment of the dentin surfaces
with tetracycline increases binding of fibronectin, which
in turn stimulates fibroblast attachment and growth while
