Evaluation of Melatonin and Metformin Loaded Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Periodontal Intra-bony Defects

Phase 2
Conditions
Bone Loss in Jaw
Interventions
Drug: placebo gel
Procedure: scaling and root planning
Registration Number
NCT05906563
Lead Sponsor
Amira ragab
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of local delivery of melatonin and metformin loaded nanoparticle gel as adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of periodontal intra bony defect.

fifty two healthy patients(n=52) with at least one periodontal intra-bony defect will be included in the study, all selected patients will be motivated about the benefit of plaque control and periodontal treatment . The participant will be selected from outpatient clinic of the Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology , Faculty of dentistry, Mansoura University . The participant will be classified into four groups :group I and II are test groups but group III and IV are control groups .Patients in group I will be treated with melatonin loaded nanoparticle gel while in group II will be treated with melatonin and metformin loaded nanoparticles which will be applied weekly for four weeks after SRP had been completed and group III will be treated with placebo gel while group IV will be treated with only scaling and root planning.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Radiographic assessmentall the parameter will be evaluated after 6 months

all the radiographic parameters will be measured on cone beam computed radiography (CBCT) .The depth of intra bony defect will be measured from cemento enamel junction(CEJ) to base of the defect (BD).The Height of the defect from CEJ to the crest of bone adjacent to the defect and the width of the defect will be from highest point of alveolar crest to dental root adjacent to defect .

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
plaque index according to Silness P.Loe H 19646 months

Each of the four surfaces of the teeth (buccal, lingual, mesial and distal) is given a score from 0-3. The scores from the four areas of the tooth are added and divided by four in order to give the plaque index for the tooth with the following scores and criteria:

The Plaque Index System

0 No plaque

1. A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be seen in situ only after application of disclosing solution or by using the probe on the tooth surface.

2. Moderate accumulation of soft deposit s within the gingival pocket, or the tooth and gingival margin which can be seen with the naked eye.

3. Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the tooth and gingival margin.
