Study Summary
This trial studies a modified approach to a minimally invasive periodontal procedure, using a videoscope to better view and debride root surfaces. The goal is to improve the traditional "gingival curettage" technique.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 30-75 with moderate gum disease, specifically isolated pocket depths of 5-7 mm on certain teeth and at least 2 mm of attachment loss. Participants should be in good health, not have had antibiotics or gum treatments recently, smoke less than 10 cigarettes a day, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a minimally invasive flap procedure to treat gum disease using Emdogain® MI versus the same procedure without Emdogain. It involves removing part of the sulcus lining and cleaning the root surface with visual aid from a videoscope.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the treatment site, swelling or bruising of gums, infection risk due to curettage, and possible allergic reactions to Emdogain if used.

Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Periodontal regenerationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Regeneration will be attempted during root scaling and planing with the application of Emdogain and the use of a Videoscope.
Group II: ControlPlacebo Group1 Intervention
The control group will receive standard-of-care root scaling and planing without the application of Emdogain and the use of a Videoscope.

Other Research
Common treatments for periodontal attachment loss include scaling and root planing, antimicrobial therapy, and regenerative procedures. Emdogain® MI, an enamel matrix derivative, promotes periodontal regeneration by mimicking natural tooth development processes, encouraging the formation of new bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament.
This is crucial for patients as it not only halts disease progression but also restores the structural integrity and function of the periodontium, leading to improved oral health and stability of teeth.
