the CAL reduction was inferior (1.6 versus 2.3 mm).

(1) reduce surgical trauma
(2) increase flap/wound stability
(3) allow stable primary closure of the wound
(4) reduce surgical chair time
(5) minimize patient discomfort and side effects.

Flap elevation
* The SPPF was performed whenever the width of the inter-dental space was 2mm or
narrower, MPPT was applied at inter-dental sites wider than 2 mm.
The inter-dental incision (SPPF or MPPT) was extended to the buccal and lingual
aspects of the two teeth adjacent to the defect.
These incisions were strictly intra-sulcular to
preserve all the height and
width of the gingiva, and their mesio-distal extension was kept at a minimum to
allow the corono-apical elevation of a very small full-thickness flap with the objective to
expose just 1–2mm of the defect-associated residual bone
crest.
vertical- releasing incisions were always kept very short and within the
attached gingiva (never involving the muco-gingival junction)
The overall aim of this approach was to avoid using vertical incisions whenever possible or to
reduce at minimum their number and extent when there was a clear indication for them.
Periosteal incisions were never performed.

87. In order to increase surgical effectiveness,
the use of operating microscopes and
microsurgical instruments has been suggested

89. Defect anatomy
Presence of at least one tooth with probing pocket
depth (PPD) and CAL loss of at least 5mm
associated with an intrabony defect
of at least 3mm involving predominantly
the interdental space of the tooth.
Teeth that presented a detectable buccal and/or a
lingual intrabony component were excluded
93. The supracrestal interdental tissues, therefore
(i) remained attached to
the root cement of the
crest-associated tooth with
its supracrestal fibres,
(ii) maintained continuity
with the palatal tissue
(iii) were not elevated or
displaced

95. At the end of instrumentation, EDTA was
applied on the root surface for 2 min. and
then the defect area was carefully rinsed
with saline.
Before the application of EMD, a single
modified internal mattress suture was
positioned at the defect-associated
interdental area (6-0
