Evaluation of Enamel Matrix Derivative as an Adjunct to Minimally Invasive Non-surgical Treatment of Intrabony Defects. A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MINST and MINST with EMD for Periodontal Diseases. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Aim: The aim of this prospective, randomized, parallel arm, blind, controlled clinical trial is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes following regenerative treatment of intrabony periodontal defects using a Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Technique (MINST) with or without the application of Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD) Research Hypothesis: The hypothesis is that the adjunctive application of EMD will enhance the clinical and radiographic results of minimally invasive non- surgical treatment of intrabony defects. Radiographic bone fill will be the primary outcome of the research, whereas CAL gain and PD reduction will constitute the secondary outcomes.

Interventions
Minimally invasive non-surgical technique (MINST) for the treatment of intrabony defects has been compared with minimally invasive surgical treatment of these defects and has shown to achieve similar beneficial clinical results. In this study MINST will be used as the control treatment.
Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) has been widely used in the surgical treatment of periodontal intrabony defects, using a minimally invasive surgical technique (MINST). Recent studies have suggested that this product could also be used in the non-surgical treatment of intrabony defects using a minimally invasive technique with very good results. This study will evaluate the effect of enamel matrix derivative in the non-surgical treatment of periodontal intrabony defects when a minimally invasive technique is used. Besides clinical measurements, radiographic analysis will also be performed to evaluate the treatment results.
