Guided Tissue Regeneration With a Periodontal Dressing
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This randomized, controlled split-mouth study will include 24-40 patients. After GTR, a test and a control side will be selected by means of a computer-generated randomization list. Test sides will receive a periodontal dressing (Coepak") for 14 days and the control sides will receive no periodontal dressing. After 14 days the periodontal dressing will be removed and the pain experience will be recorded. After 6-9 months, the clinical periodontal parameters will be recorded.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pain experience [14 days]
pain experience will be measured 14 days after GTR procedure; when the dressing is removed. The participants have to fill out a pain intensity scale on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 = no pain, 5 = moderate pain and 10 = worst imaginable pain) and the amount of pain medication taken will be recorded
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Probing pocket depth [6 months]
changes in periodontal probing pocket depth in mm
- Attachment level [6 months]
changes in clinical attachment level in mm
