Comparison of MIST With PRF and GBT With PRF in the Treatment of Intrabony Periodontal Defect. A Prospective RCT

April 25, 2026 updated by: Pal Nagy, Semmelweis University

Comparison of Minimally Invasive Surgical Therapy in Combination With Platelet Rich Fibrine and Guided Biofilm Therapy Combined With Platelet Rich Fibrine in the Treatment of Solitaire Intrabony Periodontal Defect A Prospective RCT.

The aim is to evaluate in a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study the healing of a MIST procedure combined with PRF, or GBT combined with PRF. Clinical, radiological evaluation of the regenerative surgical method and the GBT non-surgical therapy in solitaire deep intrabony periodontal defect.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This clinical study aims to clinically and radiologically evaluate the healing response of the periodontal tissues in there is not opened flap design to access the intrabony defect test 1 group where The pre- surgically prepared Platelet Rich fibrine is added into the previously cleaned defect. In the test 2 group a minimally invasive surgical approach is used to access to the intrabony pocket. After opening a flap the same procedure is used to prepare PRF, and added into the pocket. The pockets in the control Group is only cleaned by guided biofilm therapy. Periodontal clinical parameters measured at baseline and at 6 months serves for secondary. After six months the healing is evaluated with a standardized X-ray holder. The primary outcome value is the delta clinical attachment level (gain or loss) The main interest is how the PRF influence the non-surgical healing. Does it any advance of flap opening procedure in comparison with the GBT, if PRF is used.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Test 1 Guided biofilm therapy in combinaton with Platelet rich fibrine
Non surgical treatment performed to clean and decontaminate the intrabony defect, and filled with PRF
Use of Airflow Plus powder subgingivally on teeth with deep periodeontal pockets
Pack Platelet Rich Fibrin chops into the intrabony periodontla defect
Experimental: Test 2 Minimally invasive surgical therapy in combination with Platelet rich fibrine
Surgical procedure: Minimal invasive surical approach Platelet rich fibrine chops is used in order to fill the intrabony gap.
Pack Platelet Rich Fibrin chops into the intrabony periodontla defect
Periodontal intrabony defect is treated by minimally invasive surgical intervention
Active Comparator: Control group
The control group patients are treated only with guided biofilm therapy alone
Use of Airflow Plus powder subgingivally on teeth with deep periodeontal pockets
