Among different approaches, GTR has shown promising biologic and clinical results. There is evidence indicating that the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may improve the outcome of regenerative periodontal therapy. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of the combination of PRP and Bio-oss on bone regeneration in class II furcation defects in dogs. Materials and Method: 48 experimental defects with 5 mm horizontal and 5 mm vertical open probing depth were created in furcation areas of each premolar of dogs. The defects were randomly divided into 3 groups: test group in which the defects were grafted with bio-oss and PRP; control group in which the defects were grafted with bio-oss alone; and negative control group in which no graft was used. An absorbable collagen membrane was placed over each defect site and the flaps were sutured. The animals were sacrificed 3 months later and biopsy samples were taken from the defect sites for histologic and histomorphometric assessment. In each section, the area fractions (%) within the bone specimens occupied by newly formed bone, soft tissue, and residual grafting particles were determined. The data were analyzed statistically using Student's t test through SPSS software (version 13.0). Results: The bone fill was 61%  in the test group, 58 % in the control group, and 39 % in the negative control group. Although no significant difference was observed between the test and control groups, the differences between the test and control groups with negative control group were significant ( p <0.05). In the control group, the lamellar bone formation was higher and the chronic inflammatory infiltration was lower. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the use of bio-oss and PRP in the treatment of class II furcation involvement has no additional benefit over bio-oss alone. However, it seems that PRP can improve the quality of the new bone while decreasing the amount of tissue inflamation.
