Periodontal Regeneration Using Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs)

Defects were accessed with the MIST In the test group the obtained micro-grafts enriched in DPSCs were endorsed onto a collagen sponge scaffold (Condress®, Istituto Gentili, Milano, Italy) to form a bio-complex. In the control group the collagen sponge was only hydrated using physiologic sterile solution. The collagen sponge with or without cells was provided to the masked surgeon who filled the intrabony defect. The flaps were repositioned and tension-free primary flap closure was obtained using horizontal internal mattress and interrupted sutures
