Deep Marginal Elevation and the Periodontal Microenvironment ( DME-PM )
Sponsor: Tanta University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the impact of the dental restorative procedure known as Deep Marginal Elevation (DME) on periodontal health, including gingival and bone status, in patients with deep dental caries. Gingival fluid samples will be collected, and radiographic assessments will be performed to monitor changes in inflammation and bone levels. The findings are expected to provide insights into how DME influences gingival and bone health.

Interventions
Deep Marginal Elevation (DME)
Deep Marginal Elevation (DME) is performed by elevating the deep margin of Class II cavities using resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC), followed by adhesive bonding and placement of a nanofilled composite resin restoration. This procedure improves accessibility of the restorative margin, enhances marginal sealing, and facilitates plaque control.
