Brief summary

To assess the effectiveness of advanced PRF+ as compared to open flap debridement in treatment of periodontal intraosseous defects in stage III periodontitis patients.

Detailed description

The application of platelet concentrates characterized by high concentrations of platelets and growth factors have been applied and investigated as possible periodontal regenerative therapy. The application of platelet rich fibrin in management of intraosseous and furcation defects produce more favorable outcome compared to open flap debridement. A-PRF+ represents the latest generation of platelet concentrates that could provide sustained and increased release of growth factors and could serve as an autologous cost-effective membrane in periodontal tissue regeneration procedures

Interventions

PROCEDUREAdvanced- platelets rich fibrin (A-PRF+) + Open flap debridement (OFD)

Elevation of flap.Thorough debridement of the defects using curettes and ultrasonic scalers. Clinical measurements will be then recorded , A-PRF+ of the required size will be filled into the intraosseous defect. The mucoperiosteal flaps will be repositioned and secured in place using4-0 silk sutures

PROCEDUREOpen flap debridement (OFD) alone

Elevation of flap.Thorough debridement of the defects using curettes and ultrasonic scalers. Clinical measurements will be then recorded. After debridement and intraoperative recordings, interrupted sutures using 4-0 silk sutures will be placed to reposition the flaps.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) gainChange from Baseline Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) at 9 monthsClinical Attachment Level (CAL) will be measured from the cemento enamel junction (CEJ) to the bottom of the gingival sulcus/periodontal pocket using University of North Carolina (UNC) periodontal probe at six sites per tooth

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Probing Depth (PD)Probing Depth will be measured at base line,3,6, and 9 months postoperativeProbing Depth (PD) will be measured from the gingival margin to the bottom of the gingival sulcus/ periodontal pocket using University of North Carolina (UNC) periodontal probe at six sites per tooth
Radiographic defect fillRadiographic defect fill will be measured at 6,9,monthsThe depth of intrabony defect (IBD) will be measured from the alveolar bone crest to the base of the defect at baseline and after six months to detect the amount of bone fill Individually customized bite blocks and parallel-angle technique will be used to obtain standardized radiographs. Radiographs will be scanned and the radiographic (intrabony defect) IBD depth was measured by a computer-aided software program
Gingival Recession Depth (RD)Gingival Recession Depth will be measured at base line,3,6, and 9 months postoperativeGingival Recession Depth (RD) will be measured from the cemento enamel junction (CEJ) to the most apical extension of the gingival margin using University of North Carolina (UNC) periodontal probe at six sites per tooth
