About this study

Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Open Flap Debridement With or Without Nanocrystalline Hydroxyapatite Bone Graft in Management of Periodontal Intrabony Defects

The present clinical trial included 20 patients (11 females and 9 males, aged 36 to 56 years) suffering from moderate or advanced chronic periodontitis. Subjects were recruited from the outpatient clinic, Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. This clinical trial was meant to assess clinically and radiographically the possible predictable results regarding the use of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite bone graft substitute together with open flap debridement versus open flap debridement alone in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects.

Read the detailed description

periodontal intrabony defects in patients with moderate or advanced chronic periodontitis were treated with open flap debridement only in the control group while open flap debridement and Nanocrystalline Hydroxyapatite bone graft substitute was performed for the intervention group. probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, gingival index, plaque index, gingival recession and bone defect area were assessed at baseline and six months post surgically to evaluate the possible improvement in the clinical and radiographic outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in probing pocket depth

    William's graduated periodontal probe used to measure probing pocket depth from the gingival margin to the base of the sulcus

    Measured: baseline and after six months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. change in clinical attachment level

    William's graduated periodontal probe used to measure clinical attachment level from the cementoenamel junction to the base of the sulcus

    Measured: baseline and after six months

  2. change in the bone defect area

    periodical digital radiographs using Digora software to measure the bone defect area

    Measured: baseline and after six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing open flap debridement and n-HA bone graft in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Weam Ahmed Elbattawy 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 4 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 27 Nov 2020. 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. 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?

change in probing pocket depth (time frame: baseline and after six months). 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 27 Nov 2020.
