About this study

Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Nano-crystalline Hydroxyapatite Silica Gel in the Treatment of Human Periodontal Intrabony Defects

A clinical and radiographic evaluation of Nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite silica gel in comparison with open flap debridement for management of periodontal intrabony defects.

Read the detailed description

Thirty patients suffering from advanced chronic periodontitis were included in this randomized controlled clinical trial. Each subject contributed matched two- or three-walled intrabony defects. Patients were equally assigned into the experimental group; Nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite silica gel or the negative control group;open flap debridement. Clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at baseline and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively.

Being tested
Nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite silica gel, open flap debridement
Medical subject headings
Chronic Periodontitis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite silica gelBiological

    Also called Nanobone

    it is a type of synthetic bone graft.

  • open flap debridementProcedure or surgery

    Also called OFD

    a periodontal surgical procedure for the purpose of debridement.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical attachment level

    Change from baseline in clinical attachment level in mm in chronic periodontitis patients at 6 month

    Measured: change from Baseline at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. pocket depth

    Estimation of pocket depth in mm in chronic periodontitis patients at baseline and 6 months

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

  2. bone defect area

    Estimation of bone fill defect area in mm square in chronic periodontitis patients at baseline and 6 month

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite silica gel and open flap debridement in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical attachment level (time frame: change from Baseline at 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02507596, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
