About this study

Official title: Treatment of Periodontal Intrabony Defects Using Autologous Platelet Rich Fibrin and Titanium Platelet Rich Fibrin: A Randomized Clinical Comparative Study

Background: To compare the effectiveness of open flap debridement (OFD) alone and OFD along with either Autologous Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) or Titanium Platelet Rich Fibrin (TPRF) in the treatment of intrabony defects (IBDs).

Materials and methods: Study was conducted on subjects reporting to the Department of Periodontics, The Oxford Dental College and Hospital, Bangalore. 38 subjects with 90 periodontal IBDs of moderate to severe periodontitis were selected and assigned to OFD alone (group I) or OFD with Autologous PRF (group II) or OFD with TPRF (group III). In each subject, a minimum number of two sextants were present with probing pocket depths (PPD) ≥5mm in at least three teeth.

What participants receive

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

  • Open flap debridement (OFD)Procedure or surgery

    Oral prophylaxis followed by Open flap debridement (OFD)

  • OFD with Platelet rich fibrin (PRF)Procedure or surgery

    Oral prophylaxis followed by Open flap debridement (OFD) with Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) placement into the bone defect

  • OFD with Titanium Platelet rich fibrin (TPRF)Procedure or surgery

    Oral prophylaxis followed by Open flap debridement (OFD) with Titanium Platelet rich fibrin (TPRF) placement into the bone defect

  1. defect depth reduction (DDR)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 9 months

  2. change in clinical attachment level (CAL)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 9 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. change in probing pocket depths (PPD)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 9 months

  2. change in plaque index (PI)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Open flap debridement (OFD), OFD with Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and OFD with Titanium Platelet rich fibrin (TPRF) in people with Periodontitis, run by Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

defect depth reduction (DDR) (time frame: Change from baseline to 9 months). The study lists 2 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 Jul 2015.
