A utilização do vidro bioativo na terapia regenerativa periodontal - uma revisão da literatura
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction and objective: The correction of the osseous defects caused by periodontal disease is performed through surgical procedures that are divided as resective, reparative or regenerative. The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss the literature dealing with the use of bioactive glasses in the regenerative periodontal procedures. Literature review and conclusion: The regenerative procedures correspond to therapy forms of reproducing or reconstituting the lost or injured parts of the periodontal tissues. A periodontal regeneration may be defined as the regeneration of the teeth supporting tissues including alveolar bone, cementum and ligament. Numerous surgical means have been tested in an effort to achieve the regeneration of the periodontal osseous defects. The most common methods are the autogenous bone grafts, allografts, xenografts, Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) and the use of alloplastic materials (bone substitutes). Among these alloplastic materials there is the Bioactive Glass (BG). This material is defined as a bioactive ceramic, known as an osteoconductive and osteostimulatory material and by having the property of osseous adhesion. Some recent histological studies have shown that the use of bioactive glasses can induce the cementum neoformation and the formation of a new attachment.
