Aim:
To evaluate the effectiveness of gelatin sponge [Abgel] with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in the surgical treatment of mandibular Grade II furcation defects in endodontically involved teeth.
Materials And Methods:
The present study was a single-center clinical trial wherein 20 mandibular grade II furcation defects were treated with gelatin sponge combined with i-PRF results were compared both clinically and radiographically at baseline, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) we software. For pre and post comparison, paired t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Wilcoxon test were used.
Results:
There was a statistically highly significant improvement seen in all the clinical parameters vertical clinical attachment level (V-CAL), horizontal clinical attachment level (H-CAL) and probing pocket depth (PPD) and radiographic parameters at baseline and 6 months postoperatively p < 0.01.
Conclusion:
Open flap debridement along with Abgel combined with i-PRF is an effective treatment modality in reducing the horizontal and vertical component of grade II furcation defects.
Clinical Significance:
Gelatin sponge with i-PRF is a cost-effective treatment modality in achieving periodontal regeneration.
