Periodontal Regeneration in Non-contained Intrabony Defects Using Autologous Micrografts From the Palatal Mucosa: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Some research studies have demonstrated that autologous micrografts made out of different oral tissues may enhance tissue regeneration. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of a combined approach using an autologous micrograft derived from the palatal mucosa with an alloplastic scaffold for periodontal regeneration of intrabony defects in terms of clinical attachment level gain (primary outcome) and other secondary outcomes (probing pocket depth reduction, radiographic bone fill) compared to a scaffold alone. Moreover, this study aims to compare early wound healing and patient-reported outcome measures between the two groups.
