Study summary

clinical trial was conducted to evaluate regenerative potentials of cultured gingival fibroblasts and GMSCs carried in beta tri calcium phosphate scaffold into intrabony periodontal defects in human by clinical and radiographic parameters

Read the detailed description

In the present study, twenty posterior two or three osseous intrabony periodontal defects were involved . They were grouped in to two groups. Group I included ten intrabony posterior defect received beta tri calcium phosphate (β TCP) bone substitute. Group II included ten posterior intrabony periodontal defect and they received a mixture of gingival fibroblast(GF) and gingival mesenchymal stem cells(GMSCs) carried on a vehicle of β TCP covered by a resorbable collagen membrane. CBCT was used preoperatively and after 6 months for hard tissue evaluation. PDGF and BMP were measured in GCF at days 1,3,7,14.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. bone gain in periodontal defects(by mm)

    20 patients were involved as assessed by cone beam ct at baseline (pre) and 6 months later(post). the fusion of pre and post operative cone beam ct scan of the intrabony periodontal defect to measure bone gain by mm. so that, the regenerative potentials of cultured gingival into ten intrabony defect fibroblasts and GMSCs carried by tri calcium phosphate , the bone gain was measured by radiographic fusion of pre and post image of intrabony periodontal defects in human.

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. the regenerative power of the defect was evaluated by growth factor concentration in GCF.

    4 GCF samples were collected from each patient at day 1,3,7,14 after periodontal surgery then a Biochemical analysis of BMP-2 and PDGF-bb (by mg /dl) concentrations in GCF by using ELIZA kite which reflect the healing power at the initial periods of healing in different groups.

    Time frame: day 1,3,7,14 after surgery
