Trial summary

The ideal goal of the periodontal treatment is not only to prevent the progression of the disease, but also the regeneration and reconstruction of lost tissues. Many surgical techniques have been used to regenerate intrabony defects (IBD). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Efficacy of Titanium Granules Over Hydroxyapatite in the Treatment of Periodontal Intrabony Defects: A Clinico-radiographic Study

The ideal goal of the periodontal treatment is not only to prevent the progression of the disease, but also the regeneration and reconstruction of lost tissues. Many surgical techniques have been used to regenerate intrabony defects (IBD).

Titanium stimulates activation of the complement system, surface binding of platelets, and platelet activation as reflected by increased levels of platelet-derived growth factor, which is a substantial promoter of bone growth. Hence we may speculate that using a bone substitute made of titanium may be positive from the perspective of bone formation in osseous defects.

Read the detailed description

Titanium granules consist of irregular porous granules of commercially pure titanium. The porous properties may lead to ingrowth of newly formed bone.The osseointegrating response to titanium may be the result of the potent activation of the intrinsic coagulation system and the subsequent release of growth factors from platelets.Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effect of titanium particles and hydroxyapatite on osseous regeneration in intrabony defects.

After reflection of flap and degranulation, bone graft i.e., titanium particles (test group) or hydroxyapatite(control group) will be placed in the void created by the defect and sutures will be placed.

What participants receive

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

  • Titanium GranulesProcedure or surgery

    After degranulation of the intrabony defect, titanium particles will be placed in the defect and will be sutured.

  • HydroxyapatiteProcedure or surgery

    After degranulation of the intrabony defect, hydroxyapatite will be placed in the defect and will be sutured.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Attachment Level

    Assessment of clinical attachment level using UNC-15 probe at baseline and post operatively at 3 and 6 months.

    Measured: from baseline to 6 months

  2. Probing Depth

    Assessment of probing depth using University of North Carolina(UNC)-15 probe at baseline and postoperatively at 3 and 6 months.

    Measured: from baseline to 6 months

  3. Bone Regeneration

    Radiovisiography (RVG) will be used to assess bone regeneration achieved post operatively after 3 months and 6 months.

    Measured: at 3 months and 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Plaque Index

    Assessment of plaque (PI) - according to Turesky modification of Quigley and Hein Plaque Index, 1970.

    Measured: from baseline to 6 months

  2. Gingivitis

    Assessment of Gingivitis (GI) - according to Loe H and Silness P, 1963.

    Measured: from baseline to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Titanium Granules and Hydroxyapatite in people with Intrabony Periodontal Defect, run by SVS Institute of Dental Sciences at 1 site in India.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2021. 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 India. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact R V Chandra, MDS;DNB;PhD (9908183071, viswachandra@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical Attachment Level (time frame: from baseline to 6 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 21 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
