Introduction This study aims to differentiate the employment of demineralized bone matrix (DMBM; Osseograft, Advanced Biotech Products (P) Ltd, Chennai, India) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) alone to a composite graft consisting of both materials in the surgical actions toward the anomalies of the human periodontal furcation imperfection. Methods In a split-mouth study, 30 patients with mandibular molars affected by the furcation were allocated without conscious choice to test (PRF + DMBM, n = 30) or control (PRF, n = 30) categories. At the starting point, three months after surgery, and six months later, the following modifiable factors were evaluated: probing pocket depth (PPD), full-mouth plaque scores, full-mouth gingival scores, radiographic defect depth, relative vertical clinical attachment level (RVCAL), and relative horizontal clinical attachment level (RHCAL). Results Results at three and six months demonstrated substantial differences between baseline values for both treatment methods in clinical and X-ray imaging appraisal. Nonetheless, the PRF/DMBM group manifests statistically significantly soaring changes observed in comparison to the PRF group. Overall, the probing depth (PD) in the test site was significantly lower than that in the control site, showing a reduction of 68% (95% CI=41%, 95%, p<0.001). Conclusion Clinical indications significantly improved with PRF and DMBM combined instead of PRF alone. On radiographs, the test group also showed higher bone fill.
