Demineralized Freeze Dried Bone Allograft With Amniotic Membrane in the Treatment of Periodontal Intrabony Defects - 12 Month Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
OBJECTIVE
The goal of randomized controlled clinical study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of the combination of Open flap debridement, Amniotic membrane and Demineralized Freeze Dried bone Allograft with Open flap debridement and Demineralized Freeze Dried bone Allograft alone in the management of periodontal intrabony defects.


METHODS
10 patients with bilaterally similar intrabony defects were selected. Each of the intrabony defects were randomly allocated for control and test groups. Control group (n= 10) received open flap debridement (OFD) and Demineralized Freeze Dried bone Allograft (DFDBA) while the test group (n=10) received OFD, DFDBA and Amniotic membrane. Pocket Probing Depth reduction (PPD), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) gain and radiographic bone gain were assessed.


RESULTS
Both the groups demonstrated statistically significant PPD reduction, CAL gain and radiographic bone gain. The Intrabony defect (IBD) reduction of 1.78 ± 0.04 mm in radiovisiography (RVG) and 2.02 ± 0.83 mm in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with defect resolution of 58.28 % (RVG) and 58.24 % (CBCT) was noted in test group when compared to control group.


CONCLUSIONS
All the parameters measured showed similar improvement such as PPD reduction, CAL gain, IBD reduction and defect resolution with OFD + DFDBA + AM and OFD + DFDBA, no statistical significant difference was observed between the two groups .
