The present study was designed to explore the effectiveness of PRF combined with 1.2% ATV gel in treatment of mandibular degree II furcation defects in comparison to PRF and open flap debridement (OFD) alone.
Background: A variety of regenerative materials have been tried since many years for the treatment of furcation defects. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a pool reservoir of platelet concentrate with growth factors and Atorvastatin (ATV), a potent member of statin group are known to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. The aim of the present study is to explore the effectiveness of PRF combined with 1.2% ATV gel in treatment of mandibular degree II furcation defects in comparison to PRF and open flap debridement (OFD) alone.
Methods: Eighty two mandibular furcation defects were treated with either OFD alone (Group 1), OFD with PRF (Group 2), and OFD with PRF+1.2% ATV gel (Group 3).Clinical parameters like probing depth (PD), relative vertical clinical attachment level (RVCAL), relative horizontal clinical attachment level (RHCAL), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI) and site specific plaque index (PI) were recorded at baseline and 9 months post-operatively. The radiological assessment of bone defect fill was done at baseline and 9 months, using computer-aided software.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
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.
