    AbstractBackground and Objectives: Guided tissue regeneration, with or without a bone graft, is a modality for the treatment of furcation involvement. Because the direct application of a bone graft into the periodontal defect has drawbacks, such as the risk of microbial contamination and/or graft containment, a new modality of directly loading bone graft particles over the barrier membrane is now used. This study aimed to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effects of a two-layered membrane consisting of a layer of nanohydroxyapatite particles on a pericardium membrane in the treatment of stage III periodontitis, compared with direct application of a nanohydroxyapatite bone graft. Materials and Methods: Forty individuals with grade II furcation involvement were divided into two groups. Group I was treated with a two-layered membrane consisting of a pericardium membrane with nanohydroxy particles loaded onto its surface; group II was treated with direct application of a nano bone graft covered with pericardium membrane. Clinical and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiographic assessments of the two groups were carried out after a 6-month follow-up period. Results: Clinically, the results showed a significant reduction in furcation involvement (F). The CBCT assessment also revealed reductions in depth (D), height (H), width (W), and 3D radiographic volume of furcation involvement in all study groups at baseline and at 6 months postoperative (p < 0.05) with no significant differences between groups. Conclusions: According to the results of the current study, a two-layer membrane formed by direct loading of bone graft particles onto a pericardium membrane can be used as an effective, reliable, and easy-to-use substitute for direct bone graft application into periodontal defects.
