5. / TITLE OF THE TOPIC / “AUTOGENOUS CORTICAL BONE PARTICULATE HARVESTED USING A BONE SCRAPER FOR THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL INTRAOSSEOUS DEFECTS-A CLINICO RADIOGRAPHIC OBSERVATIONAL STUDY”
6 / BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK:
6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY:-
Periodontitis is an infectious disease of both hard and soft tissues. Changes that occur in bone are crucial because the destruction of bone is responsible for tooth loss. Numerous therapeutic grafting modalities for restoring periodontal
Osseous defects have been investigated. When the graft is obtained from the same individual, it is called as autograft.
Among the different available graft materials, autogenous bone grafts meet several ideal characteristics because it is potentially osteoinductive, bioabsorbable, cost effective and easy to handle.3Autogenous bone is the “gold –standard” for bone grafting (Jakse et al 2001; Gamradt and Liberman2003, mazock et al 2004) as it does not produce adverse reactions and has optimal biocompatible remodeling patterns(Matsuda et al 1992)and osteoinductive capabilities(Bunger et al 2003,hu et al 2004).3
Several methods are available for harvesting particulate bone. But almost all have some drawbacks. The most common method is to mill large bone portions. This requires additional and extensive surgical procedures to harvest block grafts. Further, treatment of transplant(graft) with bone mill or lifting transplants by rotating electrical instruments appears to reduce the amount of viable bone cells supplied(Springer et al 2004). Also, extensive surgical requirement cannot always be met in the dental office. Intraoral harvesting by bone scraper provides a simple, clinically effective regenerative procedure with low morbidity for collecting cortical bone chips.3The harvester collects bone on surfaces adjacent to defects from same surgical site, thereby avoiding an additional surgical procedure for bone graft harvestment.
The aim of this study is to assess the clinical and radiographic outcome of autogenous, intraoral cortical bone particulates obtained using an intraoral bone scraper in the treatment of periodontal intraosseous defects.
6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
A controlled clinical trial on 28 intraosseous lesions in 27 patients with advanced periodontits using autogenous cortical bone particulate and enamel matrix derivative resulted in reduced post-surgery recession with substantial clinical attachment level(CAL) gain(≥6mm).1
Atrophic edentulous alveolar crests were augmented in two patients using autogenous cortical bone particulate obtained using a bone scraper. Bone biopsy speciments were harvested at 9 months after graft placement. Analysis of the reconstructed bone revealed bone with lamellar quality characterised by a mature osteonic structure.2
A study was conducted to evaluate histologically the morphology and characteristics of bone chips harvested intraorally near bone defects and other sites by a specially designed cortical bone collector. It provided a simple, clinically effective regenerative procedure with low morbidity for collecting cortical bone chips(0.9-1.7mm in length, roughly 100µm thick).Chips had an oblong or quadrangular shape and contained live osteocytes (mean viability:45-72%).3
One study evaluated the viability of autogenous bone grafts obtained by using bone collectors. This histological and microbiological study showed that, if proper care is taken to prevent saliva contamination during the surgical procedure, this method of collecting autogenous bone may be useful in situations where small amounts of bone are required.4
A study conducted on 26 systemically healthy patients with diagnosed chronic and advanced periodontits using autogenous bone and platelet rich plasma. Total 72 infrabony pockets were treated. After 12 months, a mean value of attachment level regeneration of 3.47mm, pocket depth reduction of 3.7mm, tooth mobility reduction by 48.3% and alveolar bone regeneration by9.24% were noted.5
7 / 6.3 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY:
To assess the outcome of the treatment of intrabony periodontal defects with autogenous cortical bone particulate harvested by an intraoral bone scraper using:
-Clinical parameters using Plaque index(PI), Gingival bleeding index, Probing pocket depth, Relative attachment level(RAL), Marginal gingival level(MGL) and,
-Radiographic parameters.

STUDY DESIGN
This will be a clinico-radiographic observational study.
Clinical parameters that will be recorded at baseline, 6, and 9 months are:
1. Plaque index (Silness and Loe 1964),
2.Gingival Bleeding index (Ainamo and Bay1975),
3. Probing pocket depth (PD),
4. Relative attachment level (RAL),
5. Marginal gingival level (MGL).
Assessment of post operative pain (using a Visual Analogue Scale) and post operative swelling will be done.
Radiographic assessment will be done at baseline,6, and 9 months.
The data will be subjected to appropriate statistical analysis.
FABRICATION OF ACRYLIC STENTS
Customized acrylic stents will be prepared on a study model for each patient using self-cure acrylic to fit over the selected teeth. A vertical groove will be made on the stent at the defect site which guides the probe penetration in the same plane. The stents will be preserved on the study casts for follow up measurements.
Probing pocket depth and clinical attachment levels will be recorded by UNC-15 probe with a stent. This will provide a well defined and reproducible clinical measurement at each site for each examination time point at baseline, 6, and 9months.
RADIOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT
Intra oral periapical radiographs will be taken by long cone paralleling technique with XCP (DENTSPLY) positioning device. This will be carried out at baseline,6 and 9 months post operatively. The radiographic assessment will be done using image analysis software.
7.3 PROCEDURE
All patients will receive initial therapy consisting of oral hygiene instruction, scaling and root planing. Surgical procedures will be performed and will follow standard regenerative protocol. Following local anesthesia, intracrevicular incisions will be performed for reflection of full thickness mucoperiosteal buccal and lingual/palatal flaps for defect access and debridement. Defect debridement and root surface preparation will be accomplished using ultrasonic and hand instruments. Subsequently, the graft material harvested using bone scraper from same surgical site adjacent to the defects will be positioned. The surgical flaps will be repositioned to achieve primary closure. All patients will be prescribed doxycycline 100mg bid for 10 days postoperatively,0.12% of chlorhexidine oral rinse(bid for 4-6 weeks) and NSAIDS.
Recall examinations and maintenance therapy will be scheduled at 1week, 1, 3,6 and 9months post operatively. PD, RAL, BOP, PI & MGL will be measured at baseline, 6months and 9months.
Radiographic assessment will be carried out at baseline, 6 & 9 months recall. 7.4 DOES THIS STUDY REQUIRE ANY INVESTIGATIONS OR INTERVENTIONS TO BE CONDUCTED ON PATIENTS OR OTHER HUMAN BEINGS?
YES, Routine investigations for periodontal surgery.
7.5 HAS ETHICAL CLEARANCE BEEN OBTAINED FROM YOUR INSTITUTION IN CASE OF 7.3?
Yes.
