Effectiveness of Chitosan Nanohydrogel as a Bone Regenerative Material in Intrabony Defects in Patients With Chronic Periodontitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Aim:Different procedures have been attempted to regenerate intrabony defects in periodontitis but complete regeneration is still a herculean feat. Nanoparticles could prove to be advantageous because of their small size and increased surface area. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of a chitosan nanohydrogel as a periodontal regenerative material in the management of intrabony defects.Materials and Methods:Twenty patients within the age group of 30 to 60 years with intrabony defects >3 mm and clinical attachment levels >5 mm were selected. They were divided randomly into two groups: group-1, which received only open flap debridement with bone graft and acted as control, and group-2, which received open flap debridement, bone graft mixed with a chitosan nanohydrogel, and acted as the test site.

Abstract

Aim:Different procedures have been attempted to regenerate intrabony defects in periodontitis but complete regeneration is still a herculean feat. Nanoparticles could prove to be advantageous because of their small size and increased surface area. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of a chitosan nanohydrogel as a periodontal regenerative material in the management of intrabony defects.Materials and Methods:Twenty patients within the age group of 30 to 60 years with intrabony defects >3 mm and clinical attachment levels >5 mm were selected. They were divided randomly into two groups: group-1, which received only open flap debridement with bone graft and acted as control, and group-2, which received open flap debridement, bone graft mixed with a chitosan nanohydrogel, and acted as the test site. Clinical and radiographic measurements were recorded at baseline, three months, and six months. Intragroup comparison was done using a paired t-test and intergroup comparison was done using an unpaired t-test with the statistical value set at P < .05.Results:Chitosan hydrogel incorporated bone grafts showed improved bone regenerative potential. The mean reduction in clinical attachment level in group-2 (8.7 ± 0.6 to 1.6 ± 0.8) was significantly higher than that of group-1 (8.6 ± 0.5 to 2.4 ± 0.7). The mean reduction in probing depths in group-2 (test group) was significantly higher (8.3 ± 0.9 to 1.6 ± 0.8) when compared to group-1 (8 ± 0.8 to 2.3 ± 0.7). Significant amount of defect fill was obtained in both the groups from baseline to six-month period.Conclusion:Organic materials such as chitosan could have potential bone regenerative capacity.
