What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The objective of this study will be to evaluate a new protocol for the surgical treatment of periodontal disease with two novelties: to make a single incision in the midline of the interproximal area to respect the vascular supply and preserve the granulation tissue with regenerative potential. The investigators will carry out a controlled and randomized clinical trial with a control group (n=25; modified Kirkland flap) and a test group (n=25; experimental surgical protocol: incision in the mid-interproximal area of the papilla and preservation of the granulation tissue).
