The effectiveness of osteocoral as an implant material in the treatment of infraspinatus bags of monoradicular teeth was evaluated. 18 grafts were performed in 17 teeth with angular defects, in 6 patients of both sexes; 9 implants corresponded to the control group with hydroxyapatite and 9 to the study group that was implanted with osteocoral. Initial preparation was performed, which included: removal of calculus and polishing of dental surfaces, education and motivation about the treatment received, brushing correction equal to or greater than 80% in the removal of dentobacterial plaque. The implant was performed by flap operation, with suture and placement of periodontal dressing. Control X-rays were taken at 14 days, at 3 and 6 months. Oral hygiene was systematically controlled. After 6 months, the clinical indicators were again recorded. The final analysis of the results showed a statistically significant decrease in the gingival index, depth of the pocket to the sounding and tooth mobility for both implant materials. No large differences were reported among these for this sample size, there were no adverse reactions and the osteocoral implant was maintained, so treatment was considered effective.Se evaluó la eficacia del osteocoral como material de implante en el tratamiento de bolsas infraóseas de dientes monorradiculares. Se realizaron 18 injertos en 17 dientes con defectos angulares, en 6 pacientes de ambos sexos; 9 implantes correspondieron al grupo control con hidroxiapatita y 9 al grupo de estudio que fue implantado con osteocoral. Se realizó preparación inicial que incluyó: remoción de cálculos y pulido de las superficies dentarias, educación y motivación sobre el tratamiento recibido, corrección del cepillado igual o mayor al 80 % en la remoción de placa dentobacteriana. Se realizó el implante mediante operación a colgajo, con sutura y colocación de apósito periodontal. Se realizaron radiografías de control a los 14 días, a los 3 y 6 meses. Se controló sistemáticamente la higiene bucal. A los 6 meses se registraron nuevamente los indicadores clínicos. El análisis final de los resultados mostró una disminución estadísticamente significativa en el índice gingival, profundidad de la bolsa al sondeo y movilidad dentaria para ambos materiales implantológicos. No se reportaron grandes diferencias entre éstos para este tamaño de muestra, no hubo reacciones adversas y se logró la permanencia del implante de osteocoral, por lo que se consideró efectivo el tratamiento
