Porous and Non-porous Bone Grafts in Intra-bony Periodontal Defects

Summary

Till date, no study has been reported in the literature where porous bioactive glass was used for the management of periodontal osseous defects. In this context, the present study is designed to assess the efficacy of the porous variant of bioactive glass and compare with that of nonporous variant using cone beam computed tomography.
