Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to compare between autogenous PPG and Pericardium membrane in management of periodontal intrabody defects in stage III periodontitis.

Detailed Description

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

Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease that causes damage to periodontal tissues. One of its consequences is alveolar bone resorption, which generates horizontal or vertical bone defects and supra- or intrabony defects, causing mobility and tooth loss.

Periodontal regeneration refers to the restoration of bone, cementum and periodontal ligament to their original levels once damaged by periodontal disease. It has been shown that periodontal regeneration can be achieved by a variety of nonsurgical and surgical procedures.

Surgical modalities of periodontal regeneration include osseous grafts, guided tissue regeneration and a combination of both , Often, a new junctional epithelium is present between the regenerated alveolar bone and the previously diseased root surface.

For intrabony defects regenerative interventions included the use of enamel matrix derivatives, bone grafts, guided tissue regeneration (GTR), and biologic modifiers to achieve regeneration.

GTR is a barrier technique used for the treatment of periodontal bone defects. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is used to enhance bone growth of the alveolus for implant placement and around peri-implant defects.

The aim of the GTR procedure is to restore destroyed periodontal support. Indeed, the placement of a physical barrier between the surgical flap and the root surface can exclude the epithelium from the healing process and can protect the blood coagulum, promoting its adherence to the root surface .

An ideal GTR membrane should possess the following promising features: appropriate mechanical strength, biocompatibility, active osteogenic property, and antibacterial strength.

Several nonresorbable and bioabsorbable materials have been used as barrier membranes in the GTR procedure , Among these, autogenous periosteal grafts, as both free and pedicle grafts, have been proposed for the treatment of periodontal defects .

The periosteum consists of three allocated zones. The first zone predominantly comprises osteoblasts; they represent 90% of the total cell population in this layer, with collagen fibrils constituting 15% of the volume. The second zone primarily consists of fibroblasts, and endothelial cells constitute the remaining spaces. The third zone is fibrous indicating the presence of the highest amount of collagen fibers and fibroblasts. The presence of such an extensive population of osteoprogenitor cells makes it an attractive tool for periodontal regeneration .

Autogenous periosteal grafts are an attractive alternative to existing barrier membrane materials since they meet the requirements of an ideal material, and they are biologically accepted. Moreover, periosteum has the potential to stimulate osteogenesis in the bony defect area .

The advantages of using an autogenous periosteal membrane are that it requires only one surgical procedure, minimizes any undesirable tissue responses during healing and has the potential for stimulating new bone formation .

Marginal periosteal pedicle (MPP) graft was introduced by Gamal and Mail-hot as a biologic GTR membrane as an attempt to manage deep angular two- and three-wall intrabony periodontal defects.

Moreover, MPP graft was examined clinically and histologically as a biologic guided tissue membrane. Not only clinical improvement was observed but also, histologic evaluation of test samples revealed coarse-fibered woven bone filling the defect nine months following therapy in three of the 10 examined newly formed tissue samples and a homogenous layer of cementum-like tissue deposition was detected in apical root notches of such samples.

The choice of using autogenous periosteal pedicle grafts was based on their biological compatibility, high vascularity, rich and diverse cellularity, acceptable rigidity, and strong regenerative capability.

A common bioresorbable barrier membrane used in GTR is collagen membrane which is made of natural polymers. The most common natural polymers used for collagen membrane fabrication are collagen type I and type III.

Natural collagen is extracted by decellularization and removal of antigenic components from primary sources which include but are not limited to porcine skin, porcine pericardium, and bovine tendon.

Some drawbacks of using a biodegradable collagen membrane include difficulties in regulating the degradation process, limited mechanical strength, the presence of residual cross-linking agents, and the potential risk of disease transmission .

The pericardium membranes, in comparison to other collagen membranes have shown an effective crosslinking, suggesting prolonged resorption time, Various in vitro and in vivo studies have managed to prove the bio-effectiveness of these pericardium membranes in enhancing bone augmentation.

Therefore, the present study will be undertaken to assess the regenerative capacity of autogenous periosteal pedicle graft in comparison with Pericardium membrane in management of Periodontal Intrabony Defects.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Open Flap Debridement (OFD)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Under Local Anesthesia , intrasulcular incisions using surgical blade #15c Then, a full thickness mucoperiosteal flap will be raised . Then, the granulation tissue in the intrabony defect will be debrided and the root will be planned using manual and ultrasonic instruments followed by saline and chlorohexidine irrigation till obtaining a healthy sound bone surface.

* The periosteal membrane will be separated from this flap and released with one vertical incision mesially and one horizontal incision apically . Posteriorly, the periosteum remained attached to the mucoperiosteal flap for adequate blood supply.
* periosteal membrane will be turned over to cover this defect completely and sutured with the lingual flap with a synthetic 6-0 bioabsorbable Vicryl suture. \*The soft tissue flap will be sutured with 5-0 nonabsorbable prolene suture material and a periodontal dressing was given.

Group II (Open Flap Debridement (OFD) with Pericardium membrane and Bone graft).

● In Group II , OFD will be performed, then a bone graft will be packed into the defect and a pericardium membrane was adapted for defect coverage.
