ABSTRACT

A clinical case of the management of a two-wall intrabony defect with a guided tissue regeneration procedure by using a collagen resorbable barrier membrane and bone allograft in a 56 years old controlled diabetic patient who attended to the clinic periodontics of Popular Autonomous University of Puebla is presented. At 2 months, the postoperative period showed adequate scarring of the tissues, decreased depth of sounding and radiographic evidence of defect filling and bone formation at 4 months. Despite the bi-directional relationship between periodontal disease and type 2 diabetes, it was shown that the periodontal treatment of a diabetic patient with good metabolic control is very similar to one without diabetes, which makes the result of regenerative periodontal therapy predictable with the use of absorbable membrane barrier and bone allograft.
