Of these, 216 papers were selected for abstract reading by two evaluators.
ResultsĪ total of 866 articles were found using the descriptors employed. Changes in clinical attachment level (CAL) from pre-surgery, at the first post-surgical, and final evaluations were used to analyze the effects of regenerative treatments over time. For inclusion in the review, clinical trials had to include the long-term evaluation of infrabony and furcation defects submitted to periodontal regeneration for up to 3 years of follow-up.
Material and methodsĪ search of the Medline database was performed (1960 to 2012), complimented by an additional hand search. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the long-term results of periodontal tissues in regenerated infrabony and furcation defects.
