Abstract (original English)

Introduction Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by dental biofilm that destroys the periodontal tissues supporting the teeth. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of co-transplantation of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) compared to enamel matrix derivative (EMD) for regenerating periodontal tissue damaged by chronic periodontitis. Methods In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group phase II therapeutic equivalence trial, we assessed the effects of ASCs with PRP versus EMD on alveolar bone height and width, as well as other periodontal indices. Measurements of primary and secondary endpoints and periodontal tissue indices were performed at baseline, the day of transplantation, and at 12, 24, and 36 weeks post-transplantation. Data were analyzed using Student's t-test. Results Of the 21 patients initially recruited, 9 in the ASCs + PRP group and 6 in the EMD group completed the study. The ASCs + PRP treatment demonstrated greater regenerative potential than that of EMD, with a significantly higher alveolar bone height at 36 weeks post-treatment. Patients receiving ASCs + PRP treatment showed a statistically higher mean height of new alveolar bone in the transplanted area than those in the EMD group. Clinical attachment levels improved significantly from baseline at 12, 24, and 36
