Abstract

The role of chemical root conditioning alone as well as an adjunct with different type of barrier membranes in G.T.R. has been advocated by several investigators.

To compare radiographically the effect of guided tissue regeneration with or without tetracycline root conditioning in treating intrabony defects.

Department of Periodontics, Subharti Dental College, Meerut Uttar Pradesh, India.

20 patients

Random sampling.

SPSS 10. And Unpaired student “t” test was applied

The gain in the Infra I levels was not statistically different in either of the groups i.e. P > 0.05 and P > 0.001

Combining GTR technique with the tetracycline root conditioning does not improve the results in either the terms of the defect resolution.
