Brief Summary

assess the clinical and laboratory effects of the local and sub gingival application of a 0.8% hyaluronic acid gel (GENGIGEL®) as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in chronic moderate to severe periodontitis patients as indicated by expression of Human Beta Definsin-2 (HBD2) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) change

    Distance from the cementoenamel junction to the base of gingival sulcus using a UNC15 probe

    baseline, six weeks, 12 weeks

    It's the distance from the gingival margin to base of the sulcus

    baseline, six weeks, 12 weeks

  • Gingival Index change (Loe and Silness, 1963)

    To assess the gingival condition and record qualitative chances in the gingiva

    baseline, six weeks, 12 weeks

  • Plaque index change (Loe and Silness, 1964)

    To measure the state of oral hygiene

    baseline, six weeks, 12 weeks

  • Papillary Bleeding Index change (Muhlemann, 1977)

    immediate evaluation of the patient's gingival motivation and condition

    baseline, six weeks, 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)
