Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Guided Tissue Regeneration With Radiation-sterilized Allogenic Bone Grafts or Xenogenic Grafts for the Treatment of Intrabony Defects in Aggressive Periodontitis
Periodontitis, Aggressive
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Periodontitis, Aggressive
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of aggressive periodontitis in line with American Academy of Periodontology classification (Lang et al. 1999)
- Familial aggregation (history of periodontitis in parents or siblings)
- Presence of at least two teeth with probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥ 6mm and clinical attachment level (CAL) ≥ 5 mm associated with an intrabony defect of at least 3 mm as detected in diagnostic periapical radiographs
- No furcation involvement of the teeth presenting the intraosseous defects
- The width of keratinized tissue on the facial aspect of the selected teeth ≥ 2 mm
Exclusion Criteria:
- Full-mouth plaque index ≥ 20% (Ainamo & Bay 1975)
- Full-mouth sulcus bleeding index ≥ 15% (Mühlemann & Son 1971)
- Smoking more than 10 cigarettes/day
- Systemic diseases with compromised healing potential of infectious diseases
- Drugs affecting periodontal health / healing
- Pregnant and lactating females
- Previous periodontal surgery in the area
Sites / Locations
- Department of Periodontology and Oral Mucosa Diseases, Medical University of Warsaw
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
GTR + radiation-sterilize allogenic bone graft (TEST)
GTR + xenogenic graft (CONTROL)
The surgical procedure will be performed in line with minimally invasive surgical technique by Cortellini and Tonetti (2007). The intrabony defects will be debrided and the roots will be planned. The required quantity of radiation-sterilized allogenic bone graft will be delivered into intrabony defects. Subsequently, a trimmed collagen membrane will be placed over graft. The flaps will be sutured with non-absorbable modified internal mattress sutures.
