INTRODUCTION: Periodontal regeneration surgery has been widely used to deal with intrabony defects. Modified minimally invasive surgical technique (M-MIST) is designed to deal with isolated interdental intrabony defects, and has achieved satisfactory periodontal regenerative effect. Bio-Oss Collagen, as a bioactive material, has been applied for periodontal regeneration. It is similar to human cancellous bone, with the ability to promote bone formation; furthermore, it has exceptional plasticity and spatial stability. The combination of different materials and techniques has become a research hotspot in recent years. By combining the superiority of regeneration technology and materials, better regenerative effect can be achieved. This study will search for differences between M-MIST combined with Bio-Oss Collagen, and M-MIST alone in regeneration therapy for intrabony defects. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The present research is designed as a two-group parallel randomised controlled trial. The total number of patients is 40. The patients will be randomly assigned to two groups, with 20 participants in each group, for further periodontal regenerative surgery. Test group: M-MIST plus Bio-Oss Collagen. CONTROL GROUP: M-MIST. After 12 months, the measurement indices will be recorded; these will include clinical attachment gain and radiographical intrabony defect depth change as the primary results, and secondary outcomes of full-mouth plaque scores, probing depth, full-mouth bleeding scores, gingival recession, mobility, gingival papilla height and Visual Analogue Scale. The paired samples t-test will be applied to detect any difference between baseline and 1-year registrations. A general linear model will be performed to study the relationship between the secondary and the primary outcome. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The present research has received approval from the Ethics Committee of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology (PKUSSIRB-202053002). Data of the present research will be registered with the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Additionally, we will disseminate the results through scientific dental journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR-2000030851. PROTOCOL VERSION: Protocol Version 4, 14 July 2020.
