Active clinical trials for "Furcation Defects"

ABSTARCT Background: Atorvastatin is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase. Lately, it has shown to have anti-inflammatory and bone stimulatory effects. The aim of the current study is to explore the effectiveness of 1.2% atorvastatin (ATV) as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of mandibular degree II furcation defects. Method: A total of sixty subjects were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. 1. SRP plus placebo gel 2. SRP plus 1.2% ATV gel. Clinical parameters like probing depth (PD), relative vertical clinical attachment level (RVCAL) , relative horizontal clinical attachment level (RHCAL), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI) and site specific plaque index were recorded at baseline and then at 3, 6 and 9 months. The radiological assessment of bone defect fill was done at 6 and 9 months, using a computer-aided software.

The aim of the present trial is to evaluate the efficacy of PRF with 1% MF in treatment of mandibular class II furcation defects and its comparison to PRF and access therapy alone.

The present study evaluated clinically and radiographically the regenerative potential of rhBMP-2 in absorbable sponge and PRF in Grade II furcation.

This clinical study compared a conventional surgical technique (CST) and a minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) in the regenerative treatment of mandibular furcation defects.

This study will be conducted to evaluate clinically and radiographically the use of PD VitalOs cement® bone graft in the treatment of class II furcation defects comparing with Hydroxyapatite bone graft and biodegradable collagen membrane in the treatment of class II furcation defects.

Periodontal disease is an infectious-inflammatory disease that accommodates the supporting and supporting tissues of the teeth, with the formation of periodontal pockets, and this destruction can generate anatomical defects in the region of bifurcation. Treatment of these lesions is a challenge for the clinician, as this area has limited access to bacterial biofilm and calculus. The surgical regenerative therapy using bone grafts and membrane may be a viable option in cases of class II furcation defects. In this context, the objective of this case series is to evaluate tomographically and clinically the treatment of class II furcation defects using an absorbable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide® Perio) associated or not with inorganic bovine bone associated with collagen matrix (Bio-Oss® Collagen).

Purpose: The proposed study will evaluate and compare the clinical response of using bioresorbable collagen membrane alone or defect debridement with erbium Laser irradiation in conjunction with bioresorbable collagen membrane in the treatment of Class II furcation defects in maxillary and mandibular teeth. The study will examine whether there is a superior regeneration potential when the laser energy is combined with membrane defect isolation. Procedure: The study will use 2 groups, a control group and a test group with 16 patients in each group, with severe chronic periodontitis having clinical or radiographic evidence of Class II furcation defects in the buccal or lingual of the mandibular molars or Class II furcation defects on the buccal of maxillary molars. 16 patients will serve as the control group and open flap debridement with bioresorbable collagen membrane will be the mode of treatment. Group 2: 16 patients will serve as the test group and will undergo open flap debridement in conjunction with Er, Cr: YSGG laser irradiation and a bioresorbable collagen membrane will be used.

To treat grade II periodontally diseased furcation areas Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) combined with antimicrobial Photo-Dynamic Therapy (a-PDT) was used.

Teeth with furcation grade III defects will be treated with open flap debridement, with or without osteoplasty. The study is designed to examine the effect of osteoplasty in the treatment of teeth with furcation grade III defects with open flap debridement.

Teeth with furcation grade II defects will be treated with open flap debridement, with or without osteoplasty. The study is designed to examine the effect of osteoplasty in the treatment of teeth with furcation grade II defects with open flap debridement.
