Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Guided Tissue Regeneration With Radiation-sterilized Allogenic Bone Grafts or Xenogenic Grafts for the Treatment of Intrabony Defects in Aggressive Periodontitis

Not Applicable
Conditions
Periodontitis, Aggressive
Interventions
Device: GTR + xenogenic graft
Device: GTR + radiation-sterilize allogenic bone graft
Registration Number
NCT03340012
Lead Sponsor
Medical University of Warsaw
Brief Summary

The treatment of intrabony defects in patients with aggressive periodontitis remains a challenging procedure and novel therapeutic strategies are sought. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of using guided tissue regeneration (GTR) with radiation-sterilized allogenic bone grafts (material prepared in the Central Tissue Bank in Warsaw, Poland) versus guided tissue regeneration with xenogenic grafts (Bio-Oss®, Geistlich Biomaterials, Princeton, New Jersey, United States) in the treatment of localized intrabony defects in patients with aggressive periodontitis.

GroupInterventionDescription
GTR + xenogenic graft (CONTROL)GTR + xenogenic graftThe surgical procedure will be performed in line with minimally invasive surgical technique by Cortellini and Tonetti (2007). The intrabony defects will be debrided and the roots will be planned. The required quantity of xenogenic graft will be delivered into intrabony defects. Subsequently, a trimmed collagen membrane will be placed over graft. The flaps will be sutured with non-absorbable modified internal mattress sutures.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Clinical attachment level (CAL)Baseline and 12 months after surgery

CAL will be measured in millimeters on the study teeth at 6 locations as a distance from the cementoenamel junction to the bottom of the gingival sulcus. The average differences between 12 months and baseline measurements at the sites with the most advanced attachment loss at baseline will be compared.
