Abstract
It has been suggested by Melcher [20] that activated "osteoperiosteal" flaps in which the periosteum is nudged into fibrogenic and osteogenic activity by means of controlled injury should, by virtue of their intrinsic osteogenic, fibrogenic and vascular proliferative properties, provide superior donor tissue. Melcher hypothesized that osteoperiosteal flaps rather than mucoperiosteal flaps might be more effectively utilized as a treatment modality in periodontal surgery. Goldman [21] has recently demonstrated in animals, as well as in humans, that dormant adult periosteum may be reactivated by controlled surgical trauma. He considers that stimulated osteo-periosteal pedicle grafts might provide superior donor tissue in the treatment of denuded roots.
This clinical and histological study was initiated to compare the use of stimulated osteoperiosteal and mucoperiosteal pedicle grafts in the treatment of surgically induced denuded roots in dogs.
This study should provide histologic information on the mode of attachment between the soft tissue-root interface of both laterally repositioned mucoperiosteal pedicle grafts (Part I) and laterally repositioned stimulated osteoperiosteal pedicle grafts (Part II).
