A clinical trial to study the effects of two surgical procedures in chronic periodontitis patients.

Active, not recruiting

Brief Summary: The periodontal infection results from the subgingival colonization of periodontopathic bacteria. However, subgingival infection can cause anatomic changes in periodontal tissues ( i.e. Increased probing depth [PD], and furcation defects) that can produce local conditions that favor recurrence of disease. Periodontal treatment includes the surgical elimination of anatomic deformities by restoring lost supporting tissues. Periodontal regeneration refers to the reproduction or reconstitution of the lost or injured part. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is one technique with the most histologic documentation of periodontal regeneration in class II furcation defect. Various growth factors have been shown to accelerate the healing process. Platelet also releases growth factors which are natural biological mediators that regulate crucial cellular events involved in tissue repair. So platelet rich fibrin will provide growth factors and additionally the simplicity of procedure will help in treatment of class II furcation defect. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet rich fibrin (PRF) membrane with open flap debridement (OFD) in the treatment of class II furcation defects compared to open flap debridement (OFD) alone
