Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate and analyze the clinical observation of porcine collagen membrane + artificial bovine bone granules guided tissue regeneration (GTR) combined with autologous concentration of growth factors (CGF) in the treatment of severe periodontitis bone defect. METHODS: A total of 94 patients with severe periodontitis bone defects admitted to Shanxi Bethune Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were included. They were divided into two groups by simple randomization method. Patients in the control group were treated with porcine collagen membrane + artificial bovine bone granules GTR, while those in the observation group were treated with autologous CGF on the basis of the control group. Before and after treatment, periodontal clinical indicators [sulcus bleeding index (SBI), gingival retreat index (GR), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), alveolar bone height (AH)] and bone resorption markers [Osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone gla protein (BGP), Type-1 collagen N-terminal peptide (NTX)] were compared between the two groups, and the incidence of postoperative complications in the two groups was recorded. RESULTS: The total efficacy of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (p<0.05). Three months after surgery, the observation group had lower levels of SBI, PD, CAL and NTX while higher levels of GR, AH, OPG and BGP than the control group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in complication rate between the two groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Porcine collagen membrane + artificial bovine bone granules GTR combined with autologous CGF boasts various benefits in the treatment of severe periodontitis bone defects, such as improvement of clinical outcomes, amelioration of periodontal tissue and inhibition of bone resorption.
