Abstract: In a previous study in dogs, the early removal of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane (2 weeks after placement) showed histomorphometric results (of new bone, cementum and periodontal ligament) similar to that obtained with membrane removal at 4 weeks after placement. This study evaluated the influence of early removal of an ePTFE membrane on the treatment of Class II furcation defects. Twelve patients who provided 12 pairs of mandibular furcation defects were recruited for the study. Baseline cl… Show more

“…The removal of the PTFE membrane at 6 months in this study seems clinically appropriate and did seem to in uence the gingival recession in a way that affected the nal outcome in PD and CAL, similarly observed by Leite et al [11]. However Leit et al in their de ned the duration of early late removal as two and four weeks post-operative respectively, which is considered much earlier than in our study.…”

“…Adequate methods of random sequence generation, allocation concealment and blinding of assessors were reported in three studies (Garrett et al, 1997;Jepsen et al, 2004;Queiroz et al, 2016). Adequate random sequence generation was also reported in five other studies (Blumenthal, 1993;Jaiswal & Deo, 2013;Leite et al, 2013;Maragos, Bissada, Wang, & Cole, 2002;Santana, Mattos, & Dyke, 2009), and blinding of assessors was performed in another four studies (Garrett et al, 1990;Hugoson et al, 1995;Karapataki et al, 1999;Santana et al, 2009). All studies were adequate with regard to reporting incomplete outcome data.…”
