Author(s): Nora Saeed Elsayed Raslan*, Mohammed Mohammed Nassar, Omaima Helmy Afifi and Malak Yousef Mohamed Shoukheba
The present study aimed to assess the regenerative effect of minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) alone or combined with growth factor enhanced matrix (GEM 21S) versus platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in the treatment of intra-bony defects clinically and radiographically. Subject and Methods: 21 intra-bony defects in fifteen systemically healthy patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis were randomly classified into 3 groups, 7 sites each. Group ? treated by MIST alone, group ?? treated by MIST+ethylenediamine-tetraaceticacid (EDTA) + PRF and group III treated by MIST+EDTA+GEM 21S. The clinical parameters including probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP), were recorded at baseline, 3, 6 and 9 months’ post-surgery. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed at baseline and 9 months’ post-surgery to eva.. Read More»
