Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin in Periodontal Angular Defects
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to clinically and radiographically evaluate the efficacy of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) when used with biphasic alloplast in the management of intrabony defects in patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis.

Detailed Description
Biphasic alloplasts have been successfully used in management of intrabony defects. Advanced platelet-rich fibrin is believed to contain higher amount of growth factors and white blood cells than the well known PRF. Although there are some studies on the use of PRF in the treatment of intrabony defects, to date none of them evaluate the effect of the A-PRF. Therefore, a randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted to compare the healing of intrabony defects treated with A-PRF/biphasic alloplast combination and to those obtained with biphasic alloplast mixed with saline. Using a parallel arm design, 22 intrabony defects were randomly treated with either biphasic alloplast mixed with saline (control group) or with A-PRF/ biphasic alloplast combination (test group). The following clinical parameters were recorded at baseline, three and six months postoperatively : plaque index (PI), modified gingival index (MGI), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), while these radiographic measurements were recorded at baseline and six months postoperatively: bone fill and bone density.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: group I (Test) Advanced platelet-rich fibrin mixed with biphasic alloplast |
Procedure: Advanced platelet-rich fibrin mixed with biphasic alloplast
mucoperiosteal flaps will be reflected to expose the defects , which will be debrided properly and finally filled with the freshly prepared Advanced platelet-rich fibrin mixed with the biphasic alloplast.
|
| Active Comparator: Group II (control) Biphasic alloplast mixed with saline |
Procedure: Biphasic alloplast mixed with saline
mucoperiosteal flap will be reflected to expose and clean the intrabony defect ,then it will be filled with biphasic alloplast mixed with saline.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Clinical attachment level change [Baseline , 3 and 6 months posoperatively]
The distance from cemento-enamel junction to the depth of the sulcus recorded by a periodontal probe at baseline , 3 and 6 months postoperatively
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Probing depth change: [Baseline , 3 and 6 months postoperatively]
The distance from the gingival margin to the depth of the sulcus recorded by a periodontal probe at baseline and 6 months postoperatively
- Radiographic bone density [Baseline and 6 months postoperatively]
Measuring the bone density before and after the procedure using CBCT
- Radiographic bone fill [Baseline and 6 months postoperatively]
The actual bone formation in the intrabony defect measured on a CBCT in comparison to the baseline CBCT
