What is being tested?

The study tests two types of gum surgery: standard open flap debridement (OFD) and OFD with an added material called leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF). The goal is to see which method gives better results and how they affect patient pain after surgery.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed here, patients may experience varying levels of discomfort or pain post-surgery. L-PRF application could potentially alter healing times or infection rates compared to standard OFD.

Group I: Group OFDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Open flap debridement (OFD) is one periodontal surgical procedure that is used to improve periodontal health by providing access to the tooth roots and alveolar bone.

Group II: Group OFD + L-PRFActive Control1 Intervention

Open flap debridement (OFD) with L-PRF is used during periodontal surgical procedure that is used to improve periodontal health by providing access to the tooth roots and alveolar bone.
