Brief Summary

Periodontal disease is considered the 6th most prevalent disease in the world.Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontium which elicits an immuneresponse resulting in the loss of supporting structures of the teeth. The term “furcationinvolvement†is used to describe the resorption of the alveolar bone into the bi- andtrifurcation area of multirooted tooth due to progression of periodontal disease, as describedby American Academy of Periodontology. Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD) is derived fromdeveloping porcine teeth that initiates formation of acellular root cementum and stimulatesdevelopment of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. DFDBA’s osteoinductive propertystimulates bone formation and is related to amount of bone morphogenetic protein thatremains after the demineralization process is completed. GTR helps in guiding theproliferation of periodontal tissues that aids in healing after periodontal surgery. This study isdone to evaluate the efficacy of EMD and DFDBA graft on bone regeneration in furcationClass II defects.In this study 33 patients diagnosed with periodontitis showing pocket depth >5mmand radiographic evidence of Class II furcation defects will be selected from department ofPeriodontology, SPPGIDMS, Lucknow. The patients will be randomly divided into threegroups. Group A (OFD +EMD+GTR), Group B (OFD+DFDBA+GTR) and Group C (OFD+GTR). Clinical periodontal parameters probing depth [vertical probing depth (VPD)horizontal probing depth (HPD)], bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival margin position(GMP), relative vertical and horizontal clinical attachment level (RVCAL and RHCAL), andradiographic parameters [vertical and horizontal bone level (VBL and HBL) and hard tissuefill (HTF)] will be taken to check bone height at baseline, 3 months and 6 months aftertreatment.This study will help us know the efficacy of EMD , DFDBA and OFD alone withGTR in regenerative treatment for furcation defects. We anticipate that this will enable newor improved treatment of periodontal furcation defects.
