Evaluation of SilOss® in Periodontal Surgery

The osseous defect was debrided of granulation tissue and the root surface was planed to remove plaque and calculus, until a smooth hard consistency was found. The defect's architecture was confirmed by direct observation and classified based on number of bony walls present. In patients selected for test group, in addition to open flap debridement (OFD), Siloss® bone replacement graft was utilized to fill the defects to the most coronal level of the osseous walls. The required amount of composite alloplast (Siloss®) was dispensed into a sterile dappen dish and mixed with patients own blood and carried to the defect site with an amalgam carrier. The mucoperiosteal flaps were repositioned and secured in place using interrupted sutures. The surgical procedure in control site included open flap debridement followed by placement of hydroxyapatite graft (G-graft®, Saharanpur, UP, India). The surgical area was protected and covered using a periodontal dressing. Randomization was employed.
