New treatment option for Chronic Periodontitis
Official title Utilization of a Videoscope in Periodontal Regeneration
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05275192
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Clinical and preclinical studies confirm that regeneration of supporting tissues of teeth lost due to periodontal disease can be achieved using the principles of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Although this therapeutic approach is well established in clinical settings and can rescue teeth with poor or questionable prognosis, MIS approaches often suffer from lack of predictability due to poor intraoral visibility of the bony lesion and inability to confirm thorough removal of etiological factors (plaque/calculus) on tooth surfaces.
