Minimally Invasive vs Conventional Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy in Stage III Periodontitis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this early-phase study, 30 adults with stage III periodontitis will be assigned to compare minimally invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST) with conventional non-surgical periodontal therapy (CNST). All participants receive standardized oral hygiene instruction and home care reinforcement. Subgingival biofilm and calculus will be removed using different instrumentation approaches, with MINST employing thinner, delicate piezo-electric tips. Outcomes will focus on clinical measurements of periodontal health to see if MINST can achieve similar or better results than CNST. The study is conducted at Mansoura University’s Faculty of Dentistry in Egypt.
