Abstract: Bone substitutes are found in natural or synthetic form. Different types of bone substitutes are used, including alloplasts or xenografts. These materials should be biocompatible, and have adequate mechanical properties. Bone substitute materials have become a clinical procedure in the treatment of periodontitis. In current practice, various bone substitutes are used, including alloplasts (β-tricalcium phosphate) and xenografts with good results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of alloplasts (β-tricalcium phosphate) and xenografts in the preprosthodontic periodontal therapy of intrabony defects. The study was carried out on a group of patients with severe periodontitis treated by periodontal surgery, in which these materials were used as bone substitutes. Patients presented or not performed fixed prosthetic restorations. These biomaterials function as osteoconductive scaffolds. Both materials ensure the filling of bone defects in periodontal intrabony defects through their own capabilities. Alloplasts (β-tricalcium phosphate) and xenografts are effective in periodontal regeneration. The evaluation of periodontal parameters after the surgical interventions with bone substitutes indicates the favorable prognosis over time of the two types of materials used.
