Clinical and radiographic outcomes of entire papilla preservation versus open flap debridement using bovine-derived xenograft and leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin in the treatment of isolated intrabony defects.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to compare the short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of the Entire Papilla Preservation (EPP) technique versus Open Flap Debridement (OFD) in the treatment of isolated intrabony periodontal defects, with both approaches performed using bovine-derived xenograft and a leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) membrane.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study included 28 patients diagnosed with Stage 3 Grade B periodontitis, who underwent either EPP (n = 14) or OFD (n = 14) using bovine-derived xenograft and L-PRF following initial non-surgical periodontal therapy. Clinical parameters-including clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing depth (PD)-were recorded as primary outcomes at baseline and 6 months postoperatively. Early wound
