Trial summary

DFDBA is an allograft that possesses osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. It has the potential for osteoinduction due to increased expression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP).Cerabone™ has shown maximum resemblance to human bone with the potential to reconstruct bone defects.

About this study

Official title: A Comparative Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Demineralized Freeze Dried Bone Allograft (DFDBA) and Xenograft (Cerabone)TM With Decortication in the Treatment of Periodontal Intraosseous Defects

DFDBA is an allograft that possesses osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. It has the potential for osteoinduction due to increased expression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP).Cerabone™ has shown maximum resemblance to human bone with the potential to reconstruct bone defects. Decortication is performed as a part of guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure as it enhances the healing process.Therefore a combination of decortication and bone graft when applied in periodontal intrabony defect would enhance the regeneration of periodontium.

Read the detailed description

There have been great strides in the management of periodontal intrabony defects, especially with the use of bone graft materials. It is necessary to choose the most appropriate material and procedure in order to obtain the desired regeneration. Among the bone grafts, Demineralised freezed dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and xenografts have shown good results in the management of intrabony defects. Recently, a novel bovine xenograft i.e., Cerabone™ has shown maximum resemblance to human bone with the potential to reconstruct bone defects. Decortication or intramarrow penetration of the bone has shown favourable results in guided bone regeneration procedures. So the goal of the present study was to check the efficacy of decortication with decalcified freeze dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and Cerabone™ bone grafts and to compare the response between the bonegrafts placed following decortication using RVG and CBCT, in intrabony defect.

The combination of decortication with bone grafts i.e., DFDBA and (Cerabone)TM can be an added advantage in the treatment of intrabony defects. To the best of the investigators knowledge no clinical trial reports this combination therapy in scientific literature. There is need for further research in this area.

What is being measured

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

  1. clinical attachment level

    clinical attachment level measured in mm from cementoenamel junction to the base of the pocket

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Bone fill

    Bone fill measured in mm in radiographs from alveolar crest to base of the pocket

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Pocket probing depth

    pocket probing depth level measured in mm from gingival margin to base of the pocket

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Plaque Index (PI)

    Plaque index is measured for periodontal health

    Measured: 9 month

  2. Periodontal disease index

    Periodontal disease index is measured for periodontal health

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Gingival Bleeding Index

    Gingival bleeding index is measured for periodontal health

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Decortication + bone grafts in people with Periodontal Intrabony Defects, run by Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences & Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 31 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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: 9 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 31 Oct 2016.
