Many factors had to be taken into consideration while treating intrabony defects to achieve the concept of periodontal regeneration. PRF is a material that contains growth factors enmeshed in the fibrin network resulting in their sustained release over a period of time that can accelerate the wound healing process. The use of PRF alone or in combination with other biomaterials (such as pharmacologic agents) provided safe and promising results in the form of improvements in clinical and radiographic parameters in the management of periodontal osseous defects. The purpose of combination between the PRF and Clindamycin is for establishing a simple and practical method that gives antimicrobial properties to PRF and to provide evidence of its effectiveness, and that this may provide additional advantage and reduces the need for systemic antibiotics in a variety of oral surgical procedures. Protection of the regenerating area should be provided through the specifically designed surgical approaches. These different surgical approaches developed over time include differences in terms of flap design and suturing technique. Therefore, successful wound healing was strongly influenced by preservation of the microvasculature of soft tissues as well as by revascularization rates. The Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique (MIST) was proposed by to draw the aspects of wound and blood clot stability and primary wound closure for blood-clot protection. These concepts were further strengthened with the Modified Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique M-MIST, that further incorporated the concept of space provision for the process of regeneration. For this, the effect of Clindamycin augmented PRF together with M-MIST on the clinical and radiographic outcomes in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects need to be evaluated for clinical effectiveness
Periodontal infections in the oral cavity are strongly associated with clinical outcomes of both regenerative and conventional surgical procedures and should receive proper attention. It is evident with the available data that PRF has antimicrobial activity against microbial pathogens. Clindamycin is an effective antibiotic against anaerobic bacteria and it achieves higher levels of antimicrobial activity than other antibiotics. The use of PRF alone or in combination with other biomaterials (such as pharmacologic agents) provided safe and promising results in the form of improvements in clinical and radiographic parameters in the management of periodontal osseous defects.
