Abstract :
Aim: To assess the clinical effectiveness of nano bio fusion gingival gel and chlorhexidine gel as an adjunct to non surgical periodontal therapy for the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
Materials and Methods: 45 chronic periodontitis patients with atleast ? 5mm probing pocket depth were selected. Patients were divided into 3 groups. Group A received intrasulcular application of nano bio fusion gingival gel after oral prophylaxis, group B received chlorhexidine gel after SRP and group C received SRP alone. Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, modified sulcular bleeding index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were recorded at baseline, 1 month and 3 months.
Results: Intergroup analysis of all the clinical parameters showed clinically significant results between baseline, 1 month and 3 months. However, on intragroup analysis, the results were significant between baseline and 1 month in group B only.
Conclusion: Nano bio fusion gingival gel and chlorhexidine gel can be a good adjunct to phase 1 periodontal therapy for treating chronic periodontitis. All the clinical parameters measured were reduced from baseline to 1 month and 3 months.
