Recent studies claim that haemostatic agents promote periodontal regeneration& are effective bone graft substitutes. Here we describe the use of absorbable gelatin (abgel) in teeth affected by severe periodontitis treated using three different surgical procedures: periodontal flap surgery, intentional tooth replantation (IR) and ridge augmentation.Abgel has proven to be a good and clinically safe biomaterial for the controlled release of growth factors, eg. BMP, PDGF, and TGF-ß in the blood clot which may exert biological activities and promote tissue regeneration at surgical sites.Radiographical images demonstrated no evidence of ankylosis, and revealed the presence of alveolar bone regeneration.
