Medium‐ and long‐term clinical benefits of periodontal regenerative/reconstructive procedures in intrabony defects: Systematic review and network meta‐analysis of randomized controlled clinical studies

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Periodontal regenerative/reconstructive therapy in intrabony defects results, in general, in shallower residual PD and larger CAL gain compared with OFD, translating in high rates of tooth survival, on a medium (3-5 years) to long-term basis (5-20 years). Combination approaches appear, in general, more efficacious compared to monotherapy in terms of shallower residual PD and larger CAL gain. A clear hierarchy could, however, not be established due to limited evidence.
