Abstract
The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy entails regeneration of the periodontal tissues lost as a consequence of periodontitis. Predictable correction of vertical osseous defects has however posed as a constant therapeutic challenge. The aim of our present study is to evaluate the relative efficacy of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) vs anorganic bovine bone xenograft (ABBX) in the treatment of human infrabony periodontal defects.
15 patients with 30 bilaterally symmetrical defect sites in either of the arches, in the age group of 25-50 years were selected as part of split-mouth study design. Defect-A (right side) was grafted with DFDBA while Defect-B (left side) was grafted with ABBX. Various clinical and radiographic parameters viz. probing depth(PD), clinical attachment level(CAL) and linear bone fill were recorded preoperatively, 12- & 24-weeks postoperatively.
Both defect-A & defect-B sites exhibited a highly significant reduction in probing depth, and gain in clinical attachment level and linear bone fill at 12-weeks & at the end of 24-weeks. Comparative evaluation between the study groups revealed a statistically non-significant reduction in probing depth (
Within the limits of this study, both the materials viz. ABBX and DFDBA are beneficial for the treatment of periodontal infrabony defects. Both the materials were found to be equally effective in all respects except the gain in attachment level, which was found to be more with DFDBA. Long-term studies are suggested to evaluate further the relative efficacy of the two grafts.

The consequent destruction of the alveolar bone is ultimately responsible for the exfoliation of the tooth. Hence, the aim of the periodontal therapy is to regenerate the lost supporting tissues thus requiring the formation of new cementum, deposition of bone, insertion of functionally oriented new connective tissue fibers in the newly formed bone and cementum, and organization of a competent gingival unit.[<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]</p><p>These days clinical periodontal research focuses on the utilization of bone grafts,[<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref><xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref><xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] the principles of guided tissue regeneration[<xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>] or combination of the both[<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>] to achieve regeneration.
