Resumen
Objective: The purpose of this article is to describe a clinical case on periodontal regeneration and to determine the efficacy and predictability of the different regenerative techniquesin the treatment of intraosseous defects caused by periodontitis. Clinical case: Thisisthe case of a 65-yearold patient with advanced chronic periodontal disease located in the right superior central incisor where regenerative surgery was planned during the reevaluation stage due to a radiographically visible intraosseous defect with a pocket depth of 11 mm. The lesion, which affected the buccal, distal and palatal walls, was treated with a combination of bone xenograft (BGs), absorbable collagen membrane (GTR) and enamel matrix proteins (EMPs), resulting in a reduction in pocket depth up to 7 mm after nine months. Conclusion: Periodontal regeneration has been shown to be effective for the treatment of an intra-bone defect that compromises tooth survival by helping the patient maintain proper oral health and function.
