Abstract

ABSTRACT

Aim: This study aims to assess radiographic outcomes after complete versus incomplete removal of granulation tissue (GT) during modified minimally invasive surgical technique (M-MIST) for management of periodontitis patients with deep pockets associated with intra-bony defects.
Methodology: Ten patients with a total of 13 deep pockets (≥5mm) associated with vertical intra-bony defects were recruited for this study. They were randomized into 2 groups; Intervention group with incomplete removal of GT and the control group with complete removal of GT. radiographic records were taken at 0,6 and 9 months.
Results: Both groups also showed minimal bone resorption (CEJ to BD) in (0.037 ± 0.4 mm, p =0.936, 0.897 ± 0.6 mm, p = 0.184). None of the results showed statistical significance between the 2 groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Intervention group showed healing results radiographically similar to conventional M-MIST, with no signs of bone regeneration in both groups. Further studies with larger sample size are needed to confirm the results.
