Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To comparatively evaluate the in vivo outcome of MTA repair for contaminated and non-contaminated furcation perforations (FP) with or without PRF and CGF as a matrix in dogs' teeth.
METHODS
Ninety dog teeth were divided into five groups based on the iatrogenic FP repair approach after doing root canal treatment: negative control (without FP), positive control (FP without repair), MTA, MTA + PRF and MTA + CGF groups, where FP were repaired promptly in subdivision 1 (n = 10; non-contaminated) and after 4 weeks of oral contamination in subdivision 2 (n = 10;contaminated). After 3 months, the perforation site was assessed radiographically (vertical bone density), histologically (inflammatory cell count, epithelial proliferation, cementum and bone deposition) and immunohistochemically (OPN and TRAP antibodies localisation). Data collected were statistically analysed using SPSS software at a 0.05 significance level.
RESULTS
The MTA + PRF and MTA + CGF groups demonstrated significantly more bone formation, OPN immunolocalisation and fewer inflammatory cell counts than MTA group. MTA, MTA + PRF and MTA + CGF groups showed significantly favourable radiographic, histological and immunohistochemical healing features than the positive control, especially in non-contaminated subdivisions, that significantly showed better features than the contaminated subdivisions (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
The use CGF and PRF as a matrix beneath MTA in FP repair in dog's teeth is promising as it could increase hard and soft tissue regeneration in non-contaminated and contaminated perforations.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The repair of FP is challenging especially when associated with contaminated inter-radicular bone loss. Radiographic, histological and immunohistochemical comprehensive evaluation of the root and surrounding attachment apparatus response to different perforation repair protocols could give a predictable clinical outcome.
