The Use of Chlorhexidine Gel Following EDTA Root Surface Etching as an Adjunctive to Open Flap Debridement in Treating Intra-Bony Defects
Periodontal Bone Loss
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Periodontal Bone Loss
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- Age from 32 to 60 years old.
- Females and males.
- Healthy adult patients.
- Selected patient with a single site of defect in single tooth:
Two walled or three walled infra-bony defect. The bone defect should be at least 3 mm in depth from the crest of the alveolar bone to the base of the defect.
Pocket depth of more than or equal to 5 mm. Clinical attachment loss equal or more than 3mm.
Exclusion criteria:
- Smokers.
- Breast feeding and pregnant females.
- Vulnerable group of patients (handicapped and prisoners).
- Patients who have received any periodontal therapy or antibiotics in the last 6 months.
The study protocol explained in details to all patients. Then a signed informed consent obtained from the patients. The data obtained from patients as well as the results of the follow up will be kept confidential.

open flap + mechanical debridement
open flap +CHX gel 2 % + 24% EDTA
This group included 10 patients with periodontitis stage 2 or 3, grade A infra-bony defect sites (Caton, 2018) that had undergone proper curettage ensuring complete removal of all granulation tissue present within the defect by scaling and root planning then open flap debridement only.
