Brief Summary: Objectives To compare the effectiveness of Non-Incised Papillae Surgical Approach NIPSA versus conventional flap with mineralized Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft FDBA in periodontal reconstructive surgery of intrabony defects Clinical and Radiographic study

Patients and methods Twenty patients with stage IIIIV periodontitis with vertical intraosseous defect treated with NIPSA plus FDBA n10 or Conventional flap plus FDBA n10 were analysed All patients met the same inclusion criteria and were treated following the same protocol except for the surgical management of soft tissue NIPSA versus Conventional flap Clinical parameters were assessed at baseline three months and sixmonths Radiographic parameters were assessed at baseline and six months
Detailed Description: IPatients selection Twenty patients with periodontitis were diagnosed with vertical intra-osseous periodontal defects They were selected from the Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology Faculty of Dentistry Mansoura University putting into consideration certain inclusion and exclusion criteria The patients have known all of the needed information about the treatment protocols and the materials they would receive All possible risks and other treatment options had been reviewed and explained to the patients The patients were cooperative and they understood this explanation Written consent had been taken from each patient before performing any steps and approved from the ethical committee of our college

Study Design

This parallel randomized controlled clinical trial included twenty patients

The patients selected were classified into two groups

Group 1 Study group Included ten patients with stage IIIIV periodontitis and PD 5 mm These patients undergone periodontal treatment using NIPSA procedure in addition to mineralized FDBA substitute for vertical intrabony defects regeneration

Group II Control group Included ten patients with stage IIIIV periodontitis and PD 5 mm These patients undergone periodontal treatment using conventional flap procedure in addition to mineralized FDBA substitute for vertical intrabony defects regeneration

Clinical Periodontal Assessment

The clinical assessment was performed for all patients at baseline three and six months after periodontal treatment

Plaque Index

It was used to assess the amount of plaque at the gingival third of the tooth Light source dental mirrors sharp dental explorers periodontal probes and the dryness of the surface of the teeth and gingiva using air were used for scoring the plaque index Therefore only the plaque of the cervical third of the tooth was evaluated without regarding extension of the plaque on the middle and incisal thirds

Gingival Bleeding Index

The Gingival bleeding index was adopted by Ramfjord to measure the severity of gingivitis and its extension Measurements of the index were taken from all surfaces of the teeth A periodontal probe was used for recording the scores from four gingival areas of the tooth which were the distofacial papilla facial gingival margins mesiofacial papilla and entire lingual gingival margin of the tooth

Probing Depth

Probing depth was measured by special periodontal probe which was UNC-15 probe The index focused on how much the periodontal probe went deeper in the periodontal pockets and the reading was taken from the free gingival margin of tooth to the base of the pockets Measurements were taken from different surfaces per each tooth

Which were the distofacial surface mid facial surface mesiofacial surface mesio-lingual surface mid lingual surface and disto-lingual surfaces of the tooth Adding the six scores per each tooth and dividing it by six gave the mean score for that tooth and to get the index score for the person the scores for each tooth were added and then were divided by the number of all examined teeth

Clinical Attachment Loss

The CAL is the measurement of the distance from a fixed reference point typically the cemento-enamel junction CEJ to the base of the periodontal pocket It provides valuable information about the extent of attachment loss around teeth A calibrated periodontal probe UNC-15 was used to measure probing depth PD and calculate CAL Insert the probe gently into the gingival sulcus or pocket parallel to the long axis of the tooth and record the depth from the CEJ to the base of the sulcus or pocket Measure CAL at multiple sites eg mesial distal buccal lingual around each tooth to account for variations in attachment loss

Gingival Recession

Gingival recession refers to the exposure of the tooth root surface due to the apical migration of the gingival margin Therefore gingival recession is associated with the destruction of both soft and hard tissue It is an important clinical parameter to assess in periodontal evaluations Gingival recession was measured from the CEJ to the current position of the gingival margin using UNC-15 probe inserted gently into the gingival sulcus or pocket parallel to the long axis of the tooth

Width of Keratinized Tissue

Adequate width of keratinized tissue is associated with better periodontal health outcomes including reduced risk of gingival recession and attachment loss During periodontal surgeries adequate keratinized tissue facilitates better wound healing and enhances the success of procedures like gingival grafting Keratinized tissue width was measured using UNC-15 probe from the gingival margin to the mucogingival junction at the mid-buccal point

Location of the Tip of the Papilla

Taking as a reference the central axis of the tooth the distance from the CEJ in the zenith of the tooth to the vertex of the papilla The manual UNC-15 probe was used to measure the distance

Radiographic assessment

Radiographic interpretation of the intrabony defect was done using CBCT at baseline and 6 months post-operatively Landmarks were identified using CBCT including the cemento-enamel junction CEJ the alveolar crest AC the base of the defect BD and the depth of intrabony defect IDThe depth of intrabony defect ID was measured as the difference between the distance from CEJ to BD and CEJ to AC

V Surgical Intervention

Pre surgical phase

Phase I therapy according to the European Federation of Periodontology EFP the S3 Level Clinical Practice Guideline CPG The first step in therapy was intended to remove supragingival calculus using ultrasonic scalers and guide behaviour change by encouraging the patient to increase the efficacy of oral hygiene motivation oral hygiene instructions in the form of brushing flossing and mouthwash Prescription of chlorhexidine mouth wash twice daily and the patient was scheduled for a follow-up appointment after 7 days

The second step of therapy cause-related therapy was aimed at controlling reducingeliminating the subgingival biofilm and calculus subgingival instrumentation with possible removal of root surface cementum Subgingival instrumentation was supplemented with the irrigation of chlorhexidine solution and systemic antibiotic Metronidazole 500mg twice daily for 5 days

All patients were scheduled for a follow-up appointment 2 weeks after step 2 of therapy The clinical periodontal assessment was re-evaluated to assess if therapy goals were achieved and to verify the eligibility for participating in the study before starting the surgical phase

Surgical phase

Group I NIPSA

After administration of local anesthesia using blade number 15 a single horizontal or oblique incision was made in the mucosa located on the cortical bone tissue apically at the edge of the bone crest that delimited the intrabony defect and as far as possible from the marginal tissues The mesiodistal extension of the incision was sufficient to allow access to the defect expose its limits and allow correct debridement of the periodontal pocket and the application of biomaterials

Tissue coronal to the incision was raised to full thickness from the incision line to expose the bone peaks delimiting the intrabony defect In patients with lingual defect we were able to has a lingual component the area was accessed using buccal access The granulation tissue was removed from the bone walls of the defect Dental plaque and calculus deposits were removed from the root surface with ultrasonic scaler tips and micro-minicurettes

Group II Conventional flap

After administration of local anesthesia using blade number 15 intrasulcular incision was made splitting the buccal papilla from the palatal papilla All defects were approached by elevating a flap only on the buccal side and leaving the oral portion of the interdental supracrestal soft tissues undetached The full-thickness elevation of the marginal portion of the flap was performed with a microsurgical periosteal elevator

After removal of granulation tissue from the bone walls of the defect root and defect debridement was performed with manual and mechanical ultrasonic instruments with tips for subgingival instrumentation

Application of bone graft material

A solution of 24 Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid EDTA was applied to the root surface in all the patients in the two groups and after 2 min irrigation with abundant saline solution then allograft bone material mineralized FDBA spongy powder crushed bone preparation of natural cadaver cadaveric origin was mixed with sterile saline solution together to produce stable viscous bone graft material then packed into the periodontal defect during surgery

Suturing technique NIPSA group The incision was sutured with a double suture line the first line with horizontal internal mattress sutures to approximate the connective tissue of the mucosal edges of the incision The second line with simple interrupted sutures interrupted sutures help to bring the wound edges together counterbalancing the eversion caused by the horizontal mattress sutures Conventional group The incision was sutured with simple interrupted sutures

Post-operative instructions All patients received Amoxicillin Augmentin 1000 mg every 12h for 5 days Postoperative pain and inflammation were controlled using ibuprofen Brufen 600 mg or acetaminophen Doliprane 1000mg in patients allergic to ibuprofen Patients rinsed with 02 chlorhexidine hydrochloride Orovex twice daily for 1 week without mechanical hygiene on the surgical area

Statistical analysis of the data Data were fed to the computer and analysed using IBM SPSS software package version 200 Armonk NY IBM Corp Qualitative data were described using number and percent Shapiro-Wilk test was used to verify the normality of distribution Quantitative data were described using range minimum and maximum mean standard deviation median and interquartile range IQR Significance of the obtained results was judged at the 5 level

The used tests were

1 - Chi-square test For categorical variables to compare different groups
2 - Student t-test For normally distributed quantitative variables to compare between two studied groups
