Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Infectious/heart diseases that need prophylactic administration of antibiotics before dental treatments 2. History of diseases that may have influenced the severity/progression of periodontitis (e.g. Down Syndrome, HIV, Diabetes Mellitus type 1 and 2) 3. Liver diseases 4.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical attachment (CAL), measured with a periodontal probe (PCP UNC 15, Hu Friedy) from the bottom of the periodontal pocket to the cementum-enamel-junction, at baseline and 12 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured at baseline and 12 months: 1. Periodontal pockets measured with a periodontal probe (PCP UNC 15, Hu Friedy) from the bottom of the periodontal pocket to the gingival margin 2. Bone sounding (BS) measured with a periodontal probe (PCP UNC 15, Hu Friedy) under anaesthesia in contact to the bone within the periodontal pocket to the gingival margin 3. Radiological bone level (BL) measured on x-rays as the distance from the most apical point of the intrabony defect to the cemento-enamel junction | — |
