Article Abstract
Background And Aim: Autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and barrier membranes in the treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients have shown significant clinical benefits. This study evaluates the additive effect of autologous PRF in combination with a barrier membrane versus the use of barrier membrane alone for the treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients.
Methods: A randomized split-mouth design was used. Sixteen patients with 32 paired intrabony defects were included. In each patient 1 defect was treated using a resorbable collagen membrane along with PRF (test group) and the other defect by guided tissue regeneration alone (control group). The following clinical parameters were measured at baseline and after 9 months: plaque index, modified sulcus bleeding index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, and gingival marginal level. The radiographic defect depth was also assessed at baseline and after 9 months.
Results: Test group showed a statistically significant improvement for probing depth (P = 0.002), clinical attachment level (P = 0.001), and radiographic defect depth (P < 0.001) after 9 months as compared with the control sites. Radiographic defect depth reduction was 58.19 ± 13.24% in the test group as compared with 24.86 ± 9.94% reduction in the control group.
Conclusions: The adjunctive use of PRF in combination with barrier membrane is more effective in the treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis as compared with barrier membrane alone.

Objectives: This systematic review with meta-analysis investigated whether combining bone grafts with biologic agents enhances clinical outcomes compared to biologic agents alone in the regenerative treatment of periodontal intrabony defects.
Data Sources: Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus up to December 18, 2024, following PRISMA guidelines. Manual screening of major periodontal journals complemented the search.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess subgingival microbial changes following papilla preservation flap surgery (PPFS) or endoscope-assisted subgingival debridement (EASD) in patients with residual periodontal intrabony defects requiring Step 3 therapy.
Methods: Nineteen periodontitis participants requiring Step 3 periodontal therapy were randomly allocated to either the PPFS (n = 11) or EASD (n = 8) treatment group and were conveniently sampled. Subgingival plaque samples were collected at baseline, days 3, 7, 14, and months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 post-treatment.

The current study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in intra-bony defect regeneration by comparing the clinical parameters between periodontitis patients with intra-bony defects treated with simplified papilla preservation flap (SPPF) alone and SPPF with the adjunctive use of LLLT. The current study is a randomized controlled clinical trial involving 64 patients/sites, 32 sites treated with SPPF - control group and 32 sites treated with SPPF and adjunctive use of LLLT (SPPF+LLLT) - test group. Clinical parameters such as probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), position of gingival margin (PGM), radiographic intra-bony defect depth (R-IBD), full mouth plaque score (FMPS), and full mouth bleeding score (FMBS) were evaluated at baseline, 6 months, and one year post-surgery.

Background: The effectiveness of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) has been thoroughly documented. Since most post-GTR complications are related to the exposure of the membrane and its subsequent bacterial contamination, clinicians treat the incorporation of systemic antibiotics as an integral component of the standard surgical procedure. However, this approach remains controversial.
