The granulation tissue preservation technique in regenerative periodontal surgery-a randomized controlled clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate if the application of the granulation tissue preservation technique (GTPT) in regenerative therapy of infrabony periodontal defects results in more clinical attachment level (CAL) gain and more radiographic bone gain (RBG) than the conventional resective approach 12 months after surgery.

Materials and methods

Forty patients exhibiting at least one infrabony defect with a probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥6 mm and a radiographic infrabony component (INFRA_X-ray ) ≥3 mm were randomly treated with the GTPT (test group) or the double-flap approach with resection of the defect-filling granulation tissue (control group). Enamel matrix derivatives were applied in both groups. Clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at baseline (t0), 6 months
