The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of bilayered/collagen barriers enriched with fibronectin and heparan sulfate on the prevention of apical migration of the epithelium during the initial stage of periodontal wound healing. Experimental osseous defects were produced on the labial aspect of maxillary canines in dogs. Experimental sites were treated with either bilayered enriched collagen barriers or with non-enriched bilayered collagen barriers, using the guided tissue regeneration technique. Control sites were treated with monolayered collagen barriers that were not enriched with fibronectin and heparan sulfate. Histologic and histomorphometric examinations performed on specimens obtained 20 days post-operative indicate the formation of a short junctional epithelium in the experimental sites treated with enriched collagen barriers. In this group, 95% of the occlusal-apical length of the defects was repopulated by connective tissue cells. In the other 2 groups, a long junctional epithelium developed with only 65% of the occlusal-apical length of the defects being repopulated by connective tissue cells. These findings suggest that the enrichment of collagen barriers with fibronectin and heparan sulfate may be important to enhance the repopulation of exposed root surfaces by connective tissue cells and prevent the apical migration of the epithelium during the initial stages of periodontal wound healing.
