Study summary

Rosuvastatin (RSV) is a new synthetic, second-generation, sulfur-containing, hydrophilic statin, that stimulate bone formation in critical-size cortical bone defects adjacent to titanium implants, when administered locally in bone. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a platelet concentrate with sustained release of various growth factors, having regenerative potential to treat periodontal defects. Porous hydroxyapatite (HA) bone grafting material has clinically satisfactory response, when used to fill periodontal intrabony defects. This double-masked randomized study is designed to evaluate the potency of combination of RSV 1.2mg in situ gel with 1:1 mixture of autologous PRF and HA bone graft in the surgical treatment of mandibular degree II furcation defects when compared with autologous PRF and HA bone graft placed after open flap debridement (OFD).

ABSTRACT Background: A wide range of regenerative materials have been tried in the treatment of furcation defects. Rosuvastatin (RSV) is a new synthetic, second-generation, sulfur-containing, hydrophilic statin, that stimulate bone formation in critical-size cortical bone defects adjacent to titanium implants, when administered locally in bone. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a platelet concentrate with sustained release of various growth factors, having regenerative potential to treat periodontal defects. Porous hydroxyapatite (HA) bone grafting material has clinically satisfactory response, when used to fill periodontal intrabony defects. This double-masked randomized study is designed to evaluate the potency of combination of RSV 1.2mg in situ gel with 1:1 mixture of autologous PRF and HA bone graft in the surgical treatment of mandibular degree II furcation defects when compared with autologous PRF and HA bone graft placed after open flap debridement (OFD).

Material and methods 105 patients with mandibular buccal Class II furcation defects were randomly allotted and treated either with, OFD and placebo gel: Group 1, or OFD + autologous PRF and porus-HA bone graft: Group 2, or OFD + RSV 1.2mg in situ gel combined with autologous PRF and porus-HA bone graft: Group 3. Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline before SRP and at 9 months; they included modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD), and relative vertical (RVAL) and horizontal (RHAL) attachment levels. At baseline and after 9 months, radiographic assessment of bone defect fill was performed postoperatively.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. the presence of buccal Class II furcation defects in endodontically vital, asymptomatic mandibular first and second molars with a radiolucency in the furcation area on an intraoral periapical radiograph with PD ± 5mm and horizontal PD ± 3mm after Phase I therapy (SRP)
  2. no history of antibiotic or periodontal therapy in the preceding 6 months.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. systemic illness known to affect the outcomes of periodontal therapy, such as diabetes mellitus, cardiac diseases, insufficient count (\<200,000/mm3), or (e.g., individuals) patients taking medications, such as or calcium channel blockers, which are known to interfere with periodontal wound healing
  2. individuals known or suspected allergy to the RSV group or allergic to medications
  3. systemic statin therapy
  4. pregnant or lactating women
  5. patients using tobacco in any form
  6. individuals with unacceptable oral hygiene (plaque index >1.5). In addition, teeth with interproximal intrabony defects, gingival recession, endodontic (pulpal) involvement, or mobility of tooth ≥ Grade II were also excluded.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
