About this trial

This study investigates whether early post-surgical healing (1-2 weeks) affects the 12-month clinical and radiographic success of periodontal regenerative therapy, and identifies patient-related, site-specific, and technique-related factors associated with optimal early wound healing, in patients with Stage III-IV periodontitis.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of Stage III or IV Periodontitis.

Presence of at least one deep interproximal infrabony defect (Probing Pocket Depth [PPD] >= 6 mm, radiographic depth >= 3 mm).

Optimal oral hygiene: Full-Mouth Plaque Score (FMPS) and Full-Mouth Bleeding Score (FMBS) < 15% at the time of surgery.

Disqualifiers

Systemic: ASA III-VI classification; uncontrolled diabetes; medications causing gingival overgrowth (e.g., nifedipine, cyclosporine, phenytoin); heavy smokers (>10 cigarettes/day); pregnancy or lactation.
