Study Notes
Treatment Comparison
- Bioactive glass treatment showed a weighted mean difference of 1.40 mm in Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) change.
CAL Change Difference
- The range of CAL change difference between test and control groups was noted.
Biomaterials/Biologicals vs OFD
- Conclusion: No significant difference was found in the use of specific biomaterials/biologicals compared to Open-Flap Debridement (OFD).
Meta-Analysis for Bioactive Glass
- Result: A significant effect was observed in the meta-analysis for bioactive glass.
Heterogeneity in Results
- Most biomaterials/biologicals showed significant heterogeneity in results between studies, making it challenging to draw conclusions.
Test your knowledge on the adjunctive effect of grafting biomaterials/biological agents with open flap debridement (OFD) in the treatment of deep intraosseous defects. This quiz covers the background, objectives, and methods of a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.
