Summary

Aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of Aloe vera gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the management of chronic periodontitis.

Detailed description

The effect of Aloe vera on treatment of chronic periodontitis will be evaluated in a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Thirty patients with mild to moderate chronic periodontitis were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (test): will include 15 patients treated with SRP followed by application of Aloe vera gel in the periodontal pockets at day 1 and after 1 and 2 weeks, and group 2 (control) which includes 15 patients treated with SRP only.

Conditions

• Chronic Periodontitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Aloe vera after SRP	Subgingival administration of Aloe vera gel was preceded by flushing the area with saline to wash away any debris. Aloe vera (1cc) gel was applied subgingivally using atraumatic needle. Patients were instructed not to rinse or drink any liquid for at least 30 minutes. The application was performed at baseline and after 1 and 2 weeks.
PROCEDURE	Scaling and root planing (SRP)	Removal of supragingival and sub-gingival calculus and debris was performed, followed by smoothing root surfaces and removing cementum or dentine that is impregnated with calculus and toxins.
