Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness in periodontal regeneration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid at 1.8% (Hyadent BG®) with enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain®) in periodontal bone defects evaluating their clinical and radiographic variables.

Detailed Description

A high molecular weight polysaccharide, hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate, has recently been studied as a promising mediator for periodontal regeneration. It has a significant role in mineralized and non-mineralized periodontal tissues for the functioning of its extracellular matrices. It has a multifunctional role in periodontics including the stimulation of cell migration, proliferation and differentiation and the acceleration of wound healing by stimulating angiogenesis. It is used in surgical procedures due to its osteoinductive potential. HA is a key element in soft periodontal tissues, the gingiva and periodontal ligament, and in hard tissue, such as alveolar bone and cementum. It has many structural and physiological functions within these tissues.

This research proposes two experimental groups to whom one of them will be applied cross-linked hyaluronic acid at 1.8% and another group with enamel matrix derivative, and a control group.

The investigator's hypothesis is that the hyaluronic acid shows potential for periodontal regeneration when evaluating its clinical and radiographic variables and when compared with the use of Enamel matrix derivative.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Cross-Linked Hyaluronate Gel Prefilled Syringe 30 MG/3ML	Cross-Linked Hyaluronate Gel Prefilled Syringe 30 MG/3ML	1. The study participants will first undergo SCALE AND ROOT PLANING. This procedure is the same as that used in the active comparator group and the control group. 2. Eight weeks following the initial therapy, reevaluation of the intrabony defects in the interproximal sites with a clinical probing depth \>5 mm will be performed by radiographs as well as by using William's graduated periodontal probe to confirm the indication for periodontal surgery. Pairs of premolar and molar teeth in the maxilla or the mandible will be randomized to receive the test treatment (REGENERATIVE PERIODONTAL SURGERY with adjunctive hyaluronic acid gel application) or to serve as active comparators (regenerative periodontal surgery with adjunctive enamel matrix derivative application).
Enamel Matrix Proteins	Enamel Matrix Proteins (Active comparator group)	1. SCALE AND ROOT PLANING 2. REGENERATIVE PERIODONTAL SURGERY: Application of enamel matrix derivative.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Clinical measure: Clinical attachment loss (CAL). Changes will be assessed at 3 time points.	1. Baseline, 2. Reevaluation (60 days after root debridement), 3. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	It is defined as the distance in millimeters between CEJ and the end of the periodontal pocket. The calculation of the depth of the pocket + gingival recession or pocket depth - gingival hyperplasia will be carried out.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Radiographic measure: D1	1. Baseline, 2. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	The most apical extension of the intrabony destruction where the periodontal ligament space still retained its normal width before treatment (the bottom of the defect).
Radiographic measure: Cemento-enamel junction (A1)	1. Baseline, 2. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	• The cemento-enamel junction (CEJ)of the tooth involved in the intrabony defect.
Radiographic measure: B1	1. Baseline, 2. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	The most coronal position of the alveolar bone crest of the intrabony defect when it touches the root surface of the adjacent tooth before treatment (the top of the crest).
Clinical measure: Probing pocket depth (PPD). Changes will be assessed at 3 time points.	1. Baseline, 2. Reevaluation (60 days after Scale and root planing), 3. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	The probing depth will be measured in six areas (disto-buccal, mediate-vestibular, mesio-buccal, disto-palatal, mid-palatal, and mesio-palatal) of each tooth with a Williams PQ-OW 208 396 probe. It will be use with a pressure of 20 grams that is equivalent to the pressure of dropping the weight of the probe without exerting additional pressure.
Clinical measure: Gingival recession (GR). Changes will be assessed at 3 time points.	1. Baseline, 2. Reevaluation (60 days after Scale and root planing), 3. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	The "Full mouth bleeding score" (FMBS) will be calculated based on scores of 0 (no bleeding) or 1 (bleeding) after probing depths are checked. The usual thing is to measure 4 points for each tooth, but we have modified the index and we value 6 points per tooth (disto-buccal, mid-buccal, mesio-buccal, disto-palatal, mid-palatal and mesio-palatal).; We consider that the score is 1 when we see a red dot in the% bleeding diagram of the periodontogram and 0 when we see the blank box.
Clinical measure: Tooth mobility (TM) Miller (1950). Changes will be assessed at 3 time points.	1. Baseline, 2. Reevaluation (60 days after Scale and root planing), 3. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	* Class I: Mobility up to 1 mm in the horizontal direction.; * Class II: Mobility greater than 1 mm in the horizontal direction.; * Class III: Excessive movement in both horizontal and vertical directions.
Clinical measure: Furcation involvement: Hamp (1975). Changes will be assessed at 3 time points.	1. Baseline, 2. Reevaluation (60 days after Scale and root planing), 3. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	The plaque will be quantified as follows: * Score 0 = no plaque; * Score 1 = A film of plaque adhered to the free gingival margin and the adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque can be seen in situ only after the application of a plaque revealer or by using the probe on the surface of the tooth.; * Score 2 = moderate accumulation of soft deposits in the pocket, tooth or gingival margin, which can be seen with our eyes.; * Puntuación 3 = Abundance of soft material inside the bag and / or on the tooth and the gingival margin.; The evaluation will be carried out in 4 points per tooth (disto-buccal, mesio-buccal, disto-palatal, mesio-palatal).
Clinical measure: Plaque Index (Sillness y Löe 1964). Changes will be assessed at 3 time points.	1. Baseline, 2. Reevaluation (60 days after Scale and root planing), 3. Second reevaluation (180 days after Periodontal regenerative surgery).	The plaque will be quantified as follows: * Score 0 = no plaque; * Score 1 = A film of plaque adhered to the free gingival margin and the adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque can be seen in situ only after the application of a plaque revealer or by using the probe on the surface of the tooth.; * Score 2 = moderate accumulation of soft deposits in the pocket, tooth or gingival margin, which can be seen with our eyes.; * Puntuación 3 = Abundance of soft material inside the bag and / or on the tooth and the gingival margin.; The evaluation will be carried out in 4 points per tooth (disto-buccal, mesio-buccal, disto-palatal, mesio-palatal).
