Treatment of Intraosseous Periodontal Defects With Amelogenins

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Periodontal Pocket; Periodontal Bone Loss

• Registration Number: NCT05315804
• Lead Sponsor: Federico II University

Brief Summary

The aim of the present investigation will be evaluate the healing of periodontal intraosseous defects following Minimally Invasive Non Surgical Debridement (MINSD) and application of amelogenins, compared to MINSD alone.

A total of 22 patients will be enrolled, selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided in two groups: amelogenin (A) and no-amelogenin group (B).

Detailed Description

The objective of the study will be compare the healing of periodontal intraosseous defects following treatment with Minimally Invasive Non Surgical Debridement (MINSD) and application of amelogenins compared to MINSD alone.

Twenty-two patients with intraosseous periodontal defects will be randomly assigned to treatment with MINSD and application of amelogenins (A Group) or MINSD alone (B Group).

Primary outcome will be "Clinical Attachment Level" (CAL) gain, while the secondary outcomes will be "Probing Depth" (PD), "Gingival Recession" (GR) and "Radiographic Defect Angle" (RDA).

After local anesthesia, in A group MINSD will be performed using an ultrasonic scaler with fine tips and micro-curette; then, amelogenins in gel will be applied in the intraosseous periodontal pockets using a sterile syringe with plasticized needle.

In the B group, only subgingival mechanical debridement (MINSD) will be performed with an ultrasonic scaler with fine tips and micro-curette.

Finally, a polishing paste will be applied to the supra-gingival level in both groups using a rubber cup. Patients of both groups will be recalled every month for professional oral hygiene and, after 6 months, all measurements will be repeated and the final evaluation will be carried out.
