- Abstract
An objective of periodontal treatment is the predictable regeneration of the periodontium in areas previously affected by periodontal disease. Periodontitis affected root surfaces show many changes and the root is commonly referred to as 'pathologically exposed'. This exposed surface undergoes various changes which involve its histological appearance as well as its physical, chemical and immunochemical properties. All these changes enhance the root-tissue surface incompatibility for periodontal regeneration. It is not possible to decontaminate a periodontitis affected root surface completely by mechanical means alone. This instrumented surface will inevitably be covered by a smear layer. The root surface serves as a wound margin during regeneration, it is necessary to rehabilitate the root surface for cell attachment and fibre insertion. Therefore, to create a better milieu for reattachment, root biomodification is done. The aim of the present study is to assess and compare the alterations in the root surface topography after the topical application of three different concentrations of minocycline hydrochloride under scanning electron microscope.
