Comparison of Bone Graft and Photodynamic Therapy in Class II Furcation

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Furcation Defects

• Registration Number: NCT06519409
• Lead Sponsor: Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences & Hospital

Brief Summary

This is a surgical comparative clinical trial which aims to assess class II buccal furcation defects treated with Xenograft alone or preceded by antimicrobial photodynamic therapy.

Detailed Description

To test the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (Indocyanine green) along with placement of xenograft (Cerabone®-Natural bovine bone grafting material, Botiss biomaterials) to treat a class II furcation defects. The topical study was designed as a randomized controlled, single blinded (patient), split mouth clinical trial with 14 participants. In the control group, the defects were filled with xenograft (Cerabone®) whereas the test group received photodynamic therapy (Indocyanine green) in addition to grafting. Radiovisiography technique was used to observe the possible changes in the furcation region at baseline and 9 months postoperatively.
