Periodontal intrabony defects represent a major challenge for the clinician in periodontal therapy. If left untreated, these defects represent a risk factor for disease progression and additional attachment and bone loss. All patients will receive full mouth scaling and root planing and be re-evaluated to assess patient cooperation and maintaining good oral hygiene. Subjects who showed persistent PPD ≥ 5 mm with radiographic evidence of periodontal intrabony defect presence will be included and will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups.One group will be treated by surgical treatment and the defects filled by freeze-dried bone allograft mixed with enamel matrix derivative. second group will be treated by surgical treatment and the defects filled by freeze-dried bone allograft .Clinical periodontal parameters (PI, GBI, PPD, CAL) will be re-evaluated at 3, 6 and 9 months after surgery. CBCT will be taken after 9 months of surgery and the defect measurements will be recorded
