Summary

The goal of this split-mouth clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of Manuka honey applied into periodontal pockets after initial periodontal therapy (NSPT) in the treatment of stage 3 periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is: • does the adjunct of Manuka honey improve the outcome of the non-surgical periodontal treatment. The intervention in this study was conducted in a split-mouth design, meaning that after completing the NSPT for each subject, Manuka honey was administered as an adjunct to the periodontal treatment in two randomly selected quadrants of the oral cavity around the teeth with a specially designed cannula. This was followed by oral hygiene instructions and training. The home-performed oral hygiene procedures were focused on interdental cleaning using dental floss and toothbrushing with regular fluoride-containing toothpaste. The subjects were also instructed not to use any form of oral antiseptic (e.g., chlorhexidine) or antibiotic during the follow-up period.
