Summary

Determine the efficacy of the non-invasive application of PRF on periodontal clinical parameters(pocket reduction) and the levels of PDGF-BB and Periostin in the gingival crevicular fluid.

Detailed description

The adjunctive use of PRF with conventional ScRp may improve clinical healing, decrease tissue morbidities such as pain and discomfort, increase patient acceptance, reduce treatment time. Since PRF can be utilized as a safe, natural method to repair tissues at a low cost. Our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the non-invasive application of PRF as an adjunct to ScRp in patients with stage III grade B periodontitis through measurements of gingival crevicular fluid levels of PDGF-BB and Periostin before and after treatment and compare it with ScRp alone. A split-mouth procedure will be performed to reduce confounders as possible.

Conditions

• Periodontitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Platelet rich fibrin	1. Intravenous blood (obtained by venipuncture of the antecubital vein) will be collected in two 10-mL sterile tubes without any anticoagulants and will be immediately centrifuged at 3,000 revolutions (400 × g) per minute for 10 minutes. 2. A structured fibrin clot in the middle of the tube, just between the red corpuscles (RBCs) at the bottom and the acellular plasma at the top, will be separated from the RBCs using sterile tweezers and scissors and transferred on a sterile PRF box. 3. The PRF will be then brought to a thickness of 1 mm by gently compressing in PRF box. Standardized PRF pieces will be obtained by measuring by a periodontal probe and cutting into 3 × 5 mm dimensions. 4. The PRF pieces will be inserted into the periodontal pockets by filling the pockets from the base up to the gingival margin. A modified gingivectomy knife, of which the tip is made blunt, will be used. The PRF volume will be calculated by recording how many pieces will be inserted.
