Response of a Blood Clot Adherent to Bone, Oral Mucosa and Hard Dental Tissues to a Uniaxial Tensile Test: An In Vitro Study.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Periodontal therapy aims to arrest the progression of periodontal diseases and possibly to regenerate the periodontal apparatus. To shift healing from repair to regeneration, the blood clot that fills the periodontal defect and remains in contact with structures such as tooth root, mucosa and bone needs to be stable, which is a reason why the treatment of non-containing periodontal bone defects, in which the clot may undergo displacement, is challenging. The gingival soft tissue, properly sutured, may act as a wall for blood clot stabilization. Knowledge on the response of the blood clot to stress and how it might vary according to the characteristics of the tissues it gets in contact with might be deepened. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitr
