Exclusion criteria
✕. Subjects participating in other clinical studies within 1 month prior to screening and/or involving therapeutic intervention (either medical or dental) that could affect bone or soft tissue healing;

✕. Subjects with parafunctional habits;
✕. Subjects who have failed to maintain good plaque control;
✕. Subjects with any systemic condition like uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, cancer, HIV, disorders that compromise wound healing, chronic high dose steroid therapy, bone metabolic diseases, radiation or other immuno-suppressive therapy which would preclude periodontal surgery;
