This defect compromise the surrounding tissues and predispose the healthy second molar to future complications like root caries, dentin hypersensitivity, or localized gum disease. While most existing treatments address these defects after they have formed, this trial evaluates a site-specific preventive approach during the extraction process itself.\n\nThe study will involve 70 systemically healthy adults (ages 18-45) requiring surgical removal of a horizontally or mesially oriented impacted lower third molar. Participants will be randomized into two equal groups:\n\nThe Test Group: Will receive root conditioning with PrefGel and a single application of Emdogain® gel directly to the root surface and socket immediately after tooth removal.\n\nThe Control Group: Will undergo identical surgery but will follow a natural, spontaneous healing process without the application of any biomaterials.\n\nThe main objective is to measure changes in Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) at the distal aspects of the second molar using stable vertical anatomical reference points over a 6-month period. The trial will also monitor secondary healing parameters, including probing pocket depths, gum recession, radiographic bone level changes using standardized jigs, postoperative pain, swelling, and early tissue healing dynamics.",[79,80,81],"Alveolar Bone Loss","Periodontal Pocket","Impacted Tooth With Abnormal Positioning",[83,9,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91],"Enamel Matrix Derivative","Third Molar Surgery","Periodontal Defect","Osseous Defect","Clinical Attachment Level","Probing Pocket Depth","Periodontal Regeneration","Mandibular Second Molar","Prophylactic Periodontal Treatment","2026-07-17",{"date":94,"type":95},"2026-07-22","ACTUAL",{"date":97,"type":95},"2026-03-09",{"date":99,"type":73},"2027-10-30",{"name":5,"class":6},2]
