Intrabony Periodontal Defect

The aim of the present study is to clinically and radiographically compare the efficacy of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF), Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) and Enamel Matrix Derivatives (EMD) in intrabony defects following minimally invasive non surgical peridoontal therapy (MINST). This study will be designed as a randomized clinical trial of 12-month duration. A total of 88 patients (each with a single infrabony defect) will be recruited and randomly equally distributed into 4 groups: an experimental group treated with MINST and rhPDGF, a second group treated with MINST + L-PRF, a third group treated with MINST and EMD and and a control group treated with MINST alone. Each defect will be treated with an ultrasonic scaler with dedicated thin tips for supra- and subgingival debridement associated with hand instrumentation under local anesthesia. Caution will be taken to preserve the stability of soft tissues. Following MINST experimental and control sites will be randomly chosen. The test sites will be treated by inserting a collagen plug soaked for at least 15 minutes in a 1.5cc solution containing hPDGF-BB. In the second group the infrabony defects will be treated with MINST and L-PRF. In the third group the infrabony defects will be treated with MINST and EMD. The control group will be treated with MINST alone. Pre- and post-treatment clinical measurements were performed by an examiner blinded to the treatment modalities using a graded periodontal probe (HuFriedy UNC 15). Before the treatment and at 6 and 12 months post-treatment, all patients were examined by measuring the clinical attachment level, probing depth, gingival recession, full-mouth plaque score and bleeding on probing. Standardized radiographs of selected study sites will be taken at baseline and at the 6 and 12 months follow-up visits using the long-cone technique with a customized holder and a thermoplastic occlusal reference to allow reproducible positioning. All radiographs will be analysed by a dedicated dental software (Carestream Dental LLC Atlanta, GA, USA) to make linear measurements. The defect bone level (DBL), the defect angle (DA), the intra- and suprabony components of the defect and the radiographic defect area (RDA) will be evaluated.

The aim is to evaluate in a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study the healing of a MIST procedure combined with PRF, or GBT combined with PRF. Clinical, radiological evaluation of the regenerative surgical method and the GBT non-surgical therapy in solitaire deep intrabony periodontal defect.

Treatment of intra-bony defects is challenging and requires extensive knowledge of the etiology, anatomy, occlusion, and available biomaterials that can be used to treat this kind of defects. Patients who received scaling and root planing at the college of dental medicine due to periodontal disease, will be screened for inclusion. Only subjects who showed persistent deep probing depth associated with an intrabony defect will be included and will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups. One group will be treated using recombinant human platelet derived growth factor (GEM-21) (test) added to allogenic bone graft, second group will be treated using enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) (control) with allograft. Both groups will be treated using the same surgical protocol. Patients will be followed up for a period of 6 months and 12 months, before getting re-evaluated for assessing the effectiveness of the applied therapies.

The use of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in both surgical and non-surgical dental treatments has become increasingly widespread. Hard tissue grafts can produce "sticky bone," and bone gain can have a positive effect on intrabony defects frequently seen in periodontal disease, compared to grafts alone. This study aims to clinically and radiographically evaluate the effectiveness of using bovine-derived xenogenic bone grafts in combination with i-PRF and bovine-derived xenogeneic bone grafts alone in patients with intrabony defects and stage III periodontitis.

The main goal is to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic efficacy of autogenous demineralized dentin as bone graft substitute versus autogenous bone graft when performed with modified minimally invasive surgical technique (M-MIST) in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. The main question is: In periodontitis patients with intrabony defects, will using autogenous demineralized dentin as bone graft substitute result in clinical attachment gain and linear bone fill similar to autogenous bone graft following modified minimally invasive surgical technique? After enrolment, each participant with intra-bony defects will receive the initial phase of the therapy, which will include oral hygiene instructions, supragingival and subgingival debridement using ultrasonic and hand instrumentations and relieving of occlusal trauma if any. After 4-6 weeks, an individually customized positioning stent will be fabricated for each participant and a pre-operative periapical x-ray using parallel-angle technique will be employed using X-ray film holding system to ensure accuracy and reproducibility of the measurements. Criteria used to indicate that surgery is required include the persistence of interproximal defect with PD (Probing depth) ≥ 5 mm, CAL (Clinical attachment loss) ≥ 4 mm. Surgical procedures will include flap elevation for approaching the defect-associated sites using the modified minimally invasive surgical technique (M-MIST). Intervention group: The defect will be filled with autogenous demineralized dentin graft prepared from the participant's freshly extracted own teeth. Control group: The defect will be filled with autogenous bone graft harvested from the retromolar area. For both groups, flaps will be approximated and sutured at the original position. All the subjects will be evaluated at 1, 3, and 6 months for clinical and radiographic parameters. Outcomes:The results of Clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, Linear bone fill, Gingival index (GI), Plaque index (PI), Probing pocket depth (PPD), Gingival recession (GR), Bleeding on probing (BoP), Postoperative pain and Patient satisfaction will be measured at baseline, 1 month, 3 months and after 6 months.

Clinical Evaluation of Injectable Albumin Platelet Rich Fibrin Versus Platelet Rich Fibrin in the Management of Intra-bony Defect in Stage-III Periodontitis Patients. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Injectable Albumin Platelet Rich Fibrin Versus Platelet Rich Fibrin in the Management of Intra-bony Defect in Stage-III Periodontitis Patients. The main question aims to answer are: will Albumin Platelet Rich Fibrin (Alb-PRF) as adjunct to minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) be superior in terms of improvement in clinical parameters compared to the use of PRF with MIST.

Research is to compare and evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the enamel matrix derivative with or without connective tissue wall graft for noncontained infrabony defects using simplified papilla preservation technique .
