Abstract: Reconstruction of infrabony defects created by the chronic inflammatory processes of parodontopathy represents a major clinical problem in paradontology. Th e objective of this research was to compare and evaluate the efficiency of two bone substituents at reversing the deep infrabony defects in the paradentium after the application of a new Biohapel material consisting of biphasic calcium phosphate/poly DL-lactide-co-glycolide. Th is study included 12 patients of both genders with an average age of 49.7 years who were suff ering from clinically manifested parodontopathy. Th e main criteria for selecting patients were the presence of six similar infrabony periodontal defects that were at least 4 mm deep and in the lower side of the teeth on both sides of the jaw. After applying a basic causal parodontopathy treatment, defects were divided into two groups, including an experimental group (n=72) in which defects were reconstructed using the Biohapel bone substituent (on one side of the lower jaw) and a control group (n=72) in which infrabony defects were reconstructed using β tricalcium phosphate (βTCP) (Cerasorb®), a preparation very commonly applied in regenerative parodontopathy treatment (on the other side of the lower jaw). Markers to assess treatment efficacy were determined before surgery and 6 months after surgery by measuring the depth of periodontal pocket and the level of the junctional epithelium. We observed statistically significant diff erences in the periodontal regeneration markers between the experimental and control groups (p<0.05). Application of Biohapel during the surgical treatment of infrabony defects in the paradentium significantly improves the bone regeneration of the paradentium when compared with the standard application of β-tricalcium phosphate.
