Intrabony Defects |

|
|
|
Case by Dr. Michael McGuire |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Baseline: 11 mm probing depth and intrabony defect |
10 mm deep by 4 mm wide 2-wall |
GEM 21S® in place |
6 months post-op: 6 mm improvement in probing depth is observed. |
| |
 |
 |
 |
| Pre-operative radiograph |
6 month post-op radiograph: increased radiopacity on the mesial surface of the tooth root |
18 month post-op radiograph: substantial bone fill in the original defect with increased trabecular bone pattern |

Case by William Giannobile |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Baseline: 6 mm deep, 4 mm wide, 1 and 2-wall intrabony defect |
Pre-operative radiograph |
6 month post-op radiograph: bone fill on the mesial and distal surfaces of the tooth |
12 month post-op radiograph: substantial bone fill in the original defect with increased trabecular bone pattern |
| |
 |
| 36 month post-op radiograph: increased radiopacity of the bone fill on the tooth surfaces |
|
Case by Dr. Marc Nevins |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Baseline: 8 mm clinical attachment level |
Baseline: 8 mm 2-wall intrabony defect on the distal of tooth #27 |
Defect treated with PDGF + β-TCP |
3 days post-op evaluation illustrates excellent soft tissue healing. |

 |
| 12 month re-entry showing extensive bone gain |

6 month post-op radiograph |
36 month post-op radiograph: note normal trabecular bone pattern |
|
Case by Dr. Brad McAllister |
 |

 |
| Baseline: 5 mm deep, 3 mm wide. 2-wall intrabony defect |
Defect treated with GEM 21S® |
24 months post-op: regeneration of buccal plate across root prominence and complete fill of interproximal defect. |
