Immunological and microbiological findings after the application of two periodontal surgical techniques: a randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Aim: To examine microbiological and immunological alterations following two periodontal surgical techniques, over a 6-month period.

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 chronic periodontitis patients participated in the present randomized controlled clinical trial and were randomized in two groups. Modified Widman flap (MWF) was applied in the control group and apically positioned flap (APF), without intervention to the bone, in the experimental group.

Crestal bone resorption after the application of two periodontal surgical techniques: a randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Aim: To radiographically assess, by means of digital subtraction radiography, crestal bone loss following two periodontal surgical techniques, over a period of 6 months.

Material And Methods: A total of 30 chronic periodontitis patients participated in this randomized controlled clinical trial and were separated into two groups. Modified Widman flap was applied in the control group and apically positioned flap, without intervention to the bone, in the experimental group.
