Overview
Brief Summary
Randomised, controlled, clinical study to compare the effect of the combination of bone ceramic and enamel matrix proteins (test) versus autogenous bone graft alone (control) in the treatment of deep-wide intrabony defects
Detailed Description
30 subjects (15 test and 15 control) diagnosed with moderate to severe periodontitis (Armitage, 1999) will be enrolled in the study and randomized to either the test or the control group. The surgical procedure shall be performed within 15 days from the baseline visit of the subjects and will be the same for both groups. In both groups, the flap is replaced subsequently. In total 5 visits per patient are scheduled in this study. The total study duration for each patient should be 12 +/- 2 weeks. The study devices Emdogain® and Straumann Bone Ceramic are CE-marked, and approved by the FDA. One center in France will participate.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Males and females must be at least 18 years and not more than 75 years of age
- •The patient will have to be able to understand and sign the informed consent prior to starting the study.
- •The patient also will have to have the ability and the willingness to comply with all study requirements.
- •The patients will be in good general health without any systemic diseases.
- •The teeth included in the study will be mandibular molars, maxillary and mandibular premolars, and canines.
- •The patients will have to have at least one defect with pocket depth ≥ 5 mm.

- •History of local radiation therapy
- •Presence of oral lesions (such as ulceration, malignancy)
- •Teeth with untreated endodontic or cardiologic problems
- •Physical handicap that will interfere with patient's ability to exercise good oral hygiene on a regular basis.

- •Intra-bony defects with a 3-wall morphology.
- •Intra-bony defects with furcation involvement.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Clinical Attachment Level (CAL)
Time Frame: Baseline and 12 months
CAL is calculated as the sum of Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) and Recession (REC). PPD is measured using a periodontal probe from the gingival margin to the bottom of the pocket. REC is measured using a periodontal probe from the gingival margin to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ).
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Distance Between the Cementum-enamel-junction and the Base of the Vertical Bone Defect(Baseline and 12 months)
- Change in Clinical Attachment Level (CAL)(Baseline and 6 months)
- Change in Probing Pocket Depth (PPD)(Baseline and 6 months)
