Trial Outcomes & Findings for EMD and/or Bone Substitute for the Treatment of Class II Furcations (NCT NCT02474498)

NCT ID: NCT02474498

Last Updated: 2017-03-20

Results Overview

The relative horizontal clinical attachment level (RHCAL) will be measured with the same type of probe (PCP-15 Periodontal Probe - Hu-Friedy - Chicago, IL, USA) as the distance between the deepest point reached by the probe when introduced horizontally into the furcation and the lower border of the stent. This parameter will be evaluated at one specific site at the buccal furcation entrance, determined by a groove made on an individually manufactured acrylic stent and recorded to the nearest 0.5mm.

EMD Alone
During flap access surgery, the granulation tissue will be removed and the root surfaces will be carefully instrumented with ultrasonic and hand instruments. The furcation defects in this group will receive the application of enamel matrix derivative (EMD - Emdogain® Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) and after the flap will be repositioned. EMD: During flap access surgery, the granulation tissue will be removed and the root surfaces will be carefully instrumented with ultrasonic and hand instruments. The furcation defects in this group will receive the application of enamel matrix derivative (EMD - Emdogain® Straumann, Basel, Switzerland). Flap access surgery: In the furcation sites, during flap access surgery, the granulation tissue will be removed and the root surfaces will be carefully instrumented with ultrasonic and hand instruments.
βTCP/HA Alone
During flap access surgery, the granulation tissue will be removed and the root surfaces will be carefully instrumented with ultrasonic and hand instruments. The furcation will be filled with a bone substitute consisting of beta tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite (βTCP/HA- Bone Ceramic® Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) βTCP/HA: During flap access surgery, the granulation tissue will be removed and the root surfaces were carefully instrumented with ultrasonic and hand instruments. The furcation will be filled with a bone substitute consisting of beta tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite (βTCP/HA- Bone Ceramic® Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) Flap access surgery: In the furcation sites, during flap access surgery, the granulation tissue will be removed and the root surfaces will be carefully instrumented with ultrasonic and hand instruments.
EMD + βTCP/HA
During flap access surgery, the granulation tissue will be removed and the root surfaces will be carefully instrumented with ultrasonic and hand instruments. The furcation will be filled with a mixture of enamel matrix derivative proteins (EMD) (Emdogain® Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) and bone substitute consisting of βTCP/HA (Bone Ceramic® Straumann, Basel, Switzerland). Immediately after debridement, EMD will be applied on the root surfaces.This mixture will be used to completely fill the defect (EMD + βTCP/HA).

Timeframe: 12 months

The relative vertical clinical attachment level (RVCAL) will be measured with the same type of probe (PCP-15 Periodontal Probe - Hu-Friedy - Chicago, IL, USA) as the distance between the deepest point reached by the probe when introduced vertically into the buccal periodontal pocket. This parameter will be evaluated at one specific site at the buccal furcation entrance, determined by a groove made on an individually manufactured acrylic stent and recorded to the nearest 0.5mm.
