Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of keratinized tissue width (KTW) on periodontal regenerative surgery for the treatment of intrabony defects. METHODS: The clinical data of 14 patients (44 intrabony defect sites) treated with periodontal regenerative surgery were retrospectively analyzed at baseline and 2-year of follow-up. Forty four sites were divided into KTW2 mm group and KTW≤2 mm group according to KTW at baseline. Periodontal clinical indicators of the 2 groups were analyzed by SPSS 25.0 software package. RESULTS: At 2-year post-treatment, probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) in the 2 groups were decreased significantly compared with those at baseline(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in ΔPD, but △CAL in KTW2 mm group was significantly greater than that in KTW≤2 mm group. CONCLUSIONS: Periodontal regenerative surgery for the treatment of intrabony defects can effectively reduce periodontal pocket inflammation, decrease periodontal pocket depth and increase the level of attachment. When the width of the keratinized gingiva is insufficient(KTW≤2 mm), the regeneration of the attachment level obtained by surgery is limited, and the efficacy of regenerative surgery is poor.
