The aim of this study was to investigate the radiographic and clinical outcomes associated with the whole papilla preservation technique in the treatment of isolated intraosseous defects in patients with stage III periodontitis. The records of 17 systemically healthy patients (12 women and 5 men) diagnosed with stage III periodontitis who underwent the whole papilla preservation technique three months after nonsurgical periodontal treatment were evaluated. The following clinical parameters were recorded at baseline and after treatment: full mouth plaque score (FMPS), full mouth bleeding score (FMBS), probing depths (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and gingival recession (GR). The early healing index (EHI) score was assessed 1 week after surgery in both groups. CAL gain was determined as the primary outcome. Baseline data as well as follow-up assessments at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year were analyzed to determine the efficacy and long-term outcomes of the treatment.

Actual (reported)PROBİNG DEPTH
Probing Depth (PD) refers to the distance from the gingival margin to the base of the periodontal pocket. It is expressed in mm and a high measurement is a clinically unfavorable value

Clinical Attachment Level
Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) is defined as the distance from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the base of the periodontal pocket. It is expressed in mm and a high measurement is a clinically unfavorable value.

This innovative approach allows for vertical access to the defect site from the buccal and lingual sides without making incisions in the papillary region. Its goal is to minimize the risk of wound healing failure and the exposure of regenerative biomaterials by fully preserving the interdental papilla over the bony defect
The "EPP" technique is a tunnel-like approach of the defect-associated inter-dental papilla. Surgical loupes (3.3× magnification) with LED light illumination were used to increase visibility of the surgical site. Following a buccal intra-crevicular incision, a bevelled vertical releasing incision was performed in the buccal gingiva of the neighbouring inter-dental space and extended just beyond the mucogingival line to provide appropriate mechanical access to the intrabony defect.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the data of 17 systemically healthy patients (12 males and 5 females) aged between 22 and 60 years (mean age 41.5 ± 5.96 years) who underwent a surgical procedure three months after completion of non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT).
