Surgical Treatment of Mandibular Furcations Using a Xenograft With/Without a Collagen Membrane

Treatment of Mandibular Type II Furcations Using Bovine-derived Bone Xenograft With or Without a Collagen Membrane: a Randomized Clinical Trial

The aim of the study was to perform a randomized controlled clinical study in order to compare the effects of a bovine derived xenograft (with 10% collagen) + a bioabsorbable membrane (control group, CG) vs a bovine derived xenograft (with 10% collagen) alone (test group, TG) on the surgical treatment of mandibular type II furcation defects.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The aim of the study was to perform a randomized controlled clinical study in order to compare the effects of a bovine derived xenograft (with 10% collagen) + a bioabsorbable membrane (control group, CG) vs a bovine derived xenograft (with 10% collagen) alone (test group, TG) on the surgical treatment of mandibular type II furcation defects. The patients all underwent the same surgical intervention with the only difference between the two groups being the use or not of a collagen membrane.
