Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

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.
