Guided Tissue Regeneration With a Periodontal Dressing

July 19, 2023 updated by: Mahmoud Abu-Ta'a, Arab American University (Palestine)

Guided Tissue Regeneration Combined With Periodontal Dressing: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial for the Treatment of Periodontal Defects

This randomized, controlled split-mouth study will include 24-40 patients. After GTR, a test and a control side will be selected by means of a computer-generated randomization list. Test sides will receive a periodontal dressing (Coepak") for 14 days and the control sides will receive no periodontal dressing. After 14 days the periodontal dressing will be removed and the pain experience will be recorded. After 6-9 months, the clinical periodontal parameters will be recorded.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain experience
Time Frame: 14 days
pain experience will be measured 14 days after GTR procedure; when the dressing is removed. Participants have to fill a VAS score out about pain intensity on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 = no pain, 5 = moderate pain and 10 = worst imaginable pain) and the amount of pain medication taken will be recorded
14 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Probing pocket depth
Time Frame: 6 months
changes in periodontal probing pocket depth in mm
6 months
Attachment level
Time Frame: 6 months
changes in clinical attachment level in mm
