Abstract:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the importance of root canal therapy in the healing process of severe intrabony defects. Four beagle dogs were used and 32 interproximal intrabony defects, up to the apical third, were created. Wire ligatures were placed into these defects for plaque accumulation. Three weeks later, the ligatures were removed and 4 different treatment modalities were employed: group 1) scaling and root planing (SRP); group 2) modified Widman flap (MWF); group 3) modified Widman flap an… Show more
“…The apparent discrepancy of the findings reported here and previous reports of the literature may be explained by the significant differences in the methodologies used, including the experimental system (in vitro 1,8 versus animal 3,9,10 versus human 4,5,7,11 ), the evaluation method (histology 3‐5,9,10 versus clinical 7,11 ), or treatment procedure (replantation, 2 non‐surgical instrumentation, 3 or surgical instrumentation 3,9,10 ). In considering only the human studies available, significant differences are also noted.…”

“…In considering only the human studies available, significant differences are also noted. Some studies failed to document the type of the ET provided 3 or used currently obsolete endodontic materials and techniques 4,5 . Previous reports frequently failed to report the adequacy of the ET or its efficacy in eradicating the endodontic infection and/or periapical radioleucency 4,5,7 .…”

“…The impact of the endodontic treatment (ET) of the tooth on the healing potential of the periodontium has been a matter of controversial debate in the literature 1‐11 . Culturing studies in vitro demonstrated that selected root canal fillers and materials (gutta‐percha with Roth zinc oxide and eugenol‐based sealer, warm gutta‐percha with sealer, warm gutta‐percha without sealer, calcium hydroxide, or formocresol) may reduce fibroblast adhesion to endodontically treated root surfaces 1 .…”

Animal studies in vivo suggested that optimal periodontal healing may be influenced by the presence, quality, and timing of ET 2,3 . ET performed simultaneously with or a short time before surgical and non‐surgical periodontal treatment resulted in inhibited histologic healing 3 .…”

The present findings demonstrate that adequate endodontic therapy performed ≥6 months before surgical treatment does not significantly influence the clinical parameters of healing of human mandibular buccal Class II furcation defects.
