Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Good health
  • No previous periodontal surgical treatment
  • Indication for periodontal surgery (intrabony defects to be at least 4 mm deep)
  • Ability to understand the study procedures and comply with them through the length of the study

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnancy, breast feeding or taking oral contraceptive (all non-drug contraceptives will be allowed)
  • The need for antibiotic therapy to undergo periodontal therapy
  • Chronic infections
  • Systemic diseases
  • Patients who report current smoking over 20 cigarettes per day or pipe or cigar

Treatment and study plan

Periodontal surgery

Procedure

After local anesthesia injection an intrasulcular flap is designed according to minimally invasive techniques. After flap elevation, careful removal of granulation tissues from the periodontal defects is performed. Scaling and root planing of the involved dental roots is ensured and finally suture is placed.

Other names: Open Flap Debridement

EMD application

Procedure

Application of Pref-Gel for 2 minutes and then the application on Enamel Matrix Derivatives on the surgically exposed root surface

Other names: Amelogenins application
