Improving healing and quality of life in patients with combined endodontic and periodontal lesions
Official title: "Role of Guided Tissue Regeneration on Healing Outcome & Quality of Life in Combined Endo Perio Lesions With Communication: A Randomized Controlled Trial"
Run by Postgraduate Institute of Dental Sciences Rohtak · NCT06643663 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new dental treatment that combines two techniques to see if it helps patients with specific gum and tooth issues heal better and feel happier after surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients aged 16 and older with non-vital teeth and chronic apical periodontitis involving apico-marginal defects.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with vertical root fractures, root perforations, or those classified as ASA-3 or ASA-4 will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of combining PRF-Medium plug and ACM membrane in treating apico-marginal defects with interproximal involvement compared to conventional endodontic surgery techniques. It aims to assess healing outcomes using 2D periapical radiographs and 3D CBCT imaging, as well as evaluate the quality of life of patients post-surgery. The study includes patients aged 16 and above with specific dental conditions and excludes those with certain complications. The goal is to determine if the new approach leads to better recovery and improved patient satisfaction.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance healing outcomes and quality of life for patients with complex dental issues.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with guided tissue regeneration techniques, but this specific combination of PRF-Medium and ACM membrane is novel.
