Summary

This retrospective case series included patients with stage II/III periodontitis treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy combined with a topical postbiotic gel. Clinical parameters (PD, CAL, BoP, PI) were recorded at baseline and after 8 weeks. Patients also applied the gel and a specific toothpaste at home, and outcomes were evaluated through clinical measurements and patient-reported feedback.

Detailed description

This retrospective case series included patients diagnosed with stage II/III periodontitis, aged between 30 and 70 years, treated from May 2022 to September 2024. Patients were selected according to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria and provided informed consent. At baseline (T0), all subjects underwent a comprehensive periodontal examination, including full-mouth periodontal charting and radiographic assessment, with recording of clinical parameters such as probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BoP), and plaque index (PI). All patients received non-surgical periodontal therapy through scaling and root planing using both manual curettes and ultrasonic instruments, following a full-mouth disinfection protocol. At the end of treatment, a postbiotic periodontal gel was prescribed for home use twice daily for 10 days, together with a toothpaste of the same formulation. Oral hygiene instructions were reinforced during follow-up, and clinical parameters were re-evaluated after 8 weeks (T1). Additionally, a questionnaire was administered to assess patient-reported outcomes regarding symptoms and treatment satisfaction.
