NCT04449393

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of enamel matrix derivative in addition to scaling and root planing in comparison to scaling and root planing only in periodontitis patients that have already undergone initial periodontal therapy and are in periodontal maintenance.

Study Arms (2)

Emdogain® FL

EXPERIMENTAL

Non-surgical periodontal therapy in terms of scaling and root planing will be applied at sites with remaining periodontal pockets at reevaluation. EDTA gel will be applied for 2 minutes in the respective pockets, followed by rinsing with saline, drying and application of Emdogain® FL.

Device: Emdogain® FL

Control group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Non-surgical periodontal therapy in terms of scaling and root planing will be applied at sites with remaining periodontal pockets at reevaluation, followed by rinsing with saline.

Other: Scaling and root planing

Interventions

Emdogain® FL is an enamel matrix derivative intended for subgingival and topical application in conjunction with scaling and root planing procedures to provide regeneration of tooth support lost due to periodontal disease. Emdogain® FL has been shown to be effective in residual pockets with probing depths from 5mm to 9mm with no furcation involvement in patients with adequate plaque control. Emdogain® FL has also been shown to enhance the early healing of periodontal soft tissue wounds resulting from the instrumentation of periodontal pockets.

Emdogain® FL

Scaling and root planing procedures as part of non-surgical periodontal therapy involves mechanical removal of dental plaque and calculus using curettes and sonic scalers.

Eligibility Criteria

Age25 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Periodontitis stage III
  • Patients that have completed initial periodontal therapy, and have remaining periodontal pockets of ≥6mm up to 9mm PPD
  • Given written informed consent form for participation in the study

You may not qualify if:

  • Systemic antibiotics within the previous 3 months
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Any current or past clinically significant pathology/disease (comorbidity) that, in the opinion of the periodontists, might confound the results or poses an additional risk to the subject during participation in the study, such as renal insufficiency, malignancy, rheumatoid osteoarthritis, human immunodeficiency syndrome.
  • Patients with at least one tooth of mobility grade 0 or 1 and/or furcation involvement grade 0 or I according to Hamp
