Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Guided tissue regeneration using bone grafts and barrier membranes has shown success, but newer materials like mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) may enhance outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 20 patients of Grade II furcation involvement. Randomization 10 patients included in group A xenograft layered with MTA and 10 sites were treated with xenograft followed by membrane placement with follow-up of three and six month. RESULTS: Group B with MTA was slightly superior with regard to the outcome being observed (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Placing of layer of MTA with xenograft in Grade II furcation defect showed similar result with guided tissue regeneration with xenograft, which is cost-effective.
