Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (i-PRF) and Hemolaser Therapy in the reconstruction of the interdental papilla, with a non-surgical control group for baseline comparison. The study will be conducted over 6 months to 1 year at the Department of Periodontology, MCODS, Mangalore.
Study Groups include
- Control Group – Receives oral hygiene instructions, supportive periodontal care, and professional cleaning as needed, without regenerative or laser intervention.
- Test Group 1: i-PRF – Autologous i-PRF will be prepared by centrifuging 10 ml of blood at 700 rpm for 3 minutes. The obtained fibrin will be injected into papillary-deficient sites using a specific angulated technique under anesthesia, followed by gentle massage of the papilla.
- Test Group 2: Hemolaser Therapy – A modified PBMT protocol using a 635 nm diode laser is applied to four points around the papilla. Blood is induced into the papillary space by curettage and then irradiated again. The procedure is repeated on Day 5 and Day 10.
Outcomes Measured
Clinical parameters: papilla fill, tissue volume, and esthetic outcomes
Patient-reported esthetic satisfaction
Stability of regenerated papilla at 1, 3, and 6 months
Analysis: Photographic evaluation using Image J software with standardized imaging techniques and calibration against a periodontal probe will be used for quantitative assessment.
This study explores the regenerative potential and patient-centered outcomes of i-PRF and Hemolaser Therapy for minimally invasive interdental papilla reconstruction.
