Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Surgery - Minimally-invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST)

Experimental: Minimally-invasive non-surgical therapy - Intrabony defects treated with Minimally-invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST)


Treatment: Surgery: Minimally-invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST)
A non-surgical minimally-invasive treatment protocol, named MINST, has been proposed (Ribeiro et al. 2011) for the treatment of periodontitis, in order to minimise patient discomfort and maximise the healing potential. This technique usually involve the use of magnification lenses or microscopes and small instruments which would reduce the risk of tissue trauma compared with traditional instruments.
