Abstract

This case report describes the use of canine demineralized freeze-dried membrane allograft and cancellous bone graft material to treat an infrabony osseous defect along the lingual aspect of a left mandibular canine in a 10-year-old miniature dachshund. Postoperative examination 6 and 12 months postoperatively showed osseous integration at the infrabony defect and improvement in periodontal probing measurements.

Keywords: bone augmentation; grafting material; guided tissue regeneration; osseous allograft membrane; periodontal disease; periodontal surgery.
