Combined approach to the management of intrabony defects

Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 1995 Aug;15(4):328-43.

Abstract

Although regenerative and osseous surgical procedures have different objectives, they can often be used in combination to achieve predictable results in certain bony defects. This article describes the anatomy of three-walled bony defects and explains the theory behind the combined regenerative-osseous surgical treatment of such lesions.
