Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present investigation will be evaluated the healing of suprabony defects following surgical flap elevation and hyaluronic acid application respect to surgical flap elevation alone.

A total of 80 patients will be enrolled, selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided in two groups: hyaluronic acid group and no-hyaluronic acid group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of the study will be compare the healing of suprabony defects following treatment with either open flap debridement (OFD) and application of hyaluronic acid (HA) with OFD alone.

Eighty patients with suprabony periodontal defects will be randomly assigned to treatment with open flap debridement and application of hyaluronic acid (HA Group) or open flap debridement alone (No-HA Group).

Primary outcome will be Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) gain, while the secondary outcomes will be Probing Depth (PD) and Gingival Recession (GR).

After local anesthesia, an access flap will be prepared. Depending on the mesiodistal width of the interproximal space, two different incision techniques will be selected to access the suprabony defect area. The modified papilla preservation technique (MMPT) will be used at sites with an interproximal width \> 2 mm, whereas the simplified papilla preservation technique (SPPT) will be applied at sites with an interproximal width ≤ 2 mm. Then, a mucoperiosteal flap will be reflected.

Scaling and root planning will be performed combining the use of metal curettes and power-driven instrumentation by means of ultrasonic scaler.

Hyaluronic acid will be applied to exposed roots surface only in HA Group followed, for both groups, by a tension-free primary closure of the interdental papillae and of the mucoperiostal flaps by means of 5-0 monofilament (polypropylene) non-resorbable suturing material.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study will be designed as a double-arm randomized controlled clinical trial. The suprabony defects of subjects allocated in HA group will be treated with open flap debridement and application of hyaluronic acid, while the suprabony defects of No-HA Group will be treated with open flap debridement alone. The null hypothesis of no statistically significant differences between the two modalities for the treatment of suprabony defects will be tested.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Only patients will be unaware of the type of treatment performed, with prior written informed consent. So, they will be divided in the two groups of study after a process of randomization

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hyaluronic acid Group

Hyaluronic acid gel will be applied to exposed dental roots surfaces, after scaling and root planing therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hyaluronic acid

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After local anesthesia, an access flap will be prepared. Scaling and root planning will be performed combining the use of metal curettes and power-driven instrumentation by means of ultrasonic scaler.

Hyaluronic acid gel will be applied to exposed roots surface, followed by a tension-free primary closure of the surgery wound by means of 5-0 monofilament (polypropylene) non-resorbable suturing material.

No-hyaluronic acid Group

Only scaling and root planning will be performed on the exposed dental roots surfaces

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

No-hyaluronic acid

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

An access flap will be prepared in order to perform scaling and root planning therapy with the use of metal curettes.

After intervention, a tension-free primary closure of the interdental papillae and of the mucoperiosteal flaps by means of 5-0 monofilament (polypropylene) non-resorbable suturing materia will be performed
