Impact of Minimally Invasive Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment on Infrabony Defects

University of Catania52 enrolled

Overview

Fifty-two periodontitis patients (26 per group) were randomly assigned to the test (Minimally invasive non-surgical therapy - MINST) or the control group (Quadrantwise Subgingival Instrumentation - Q-SI) NPT protocols.

Clinical periodontal parameters, the number of pocket sites, x-ray of the infrabony defects characteristics and a composite outcome measure (COM) on the combined assessment of intrabony defect were recorded at baseline, and -3, 6- and at 12-months after treatment

Interventions

Non surgical periodontal treatment evaluated through probing pocket depth reductionOTHER

Patients were treated with Minimally invasive non surgical treatment (MINST) or quadrant-subgingival instrumentation (Q-SI). The efficacy of treatment in both groups was evaluated through Probin Pocket Depth reduction in millimetres measurement before and after treatment.
