Brief Summary
Assess the efficacy of locally delivered propolis gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planning in management of Stage II, Grade B periodontitis . Subjects and Methods I. Patients' selection: Thirty-two (32) patients were recruited from the outpatient clinic of Oral Medicine, Periodontology, and Oral Diagnosis department, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University. This study was designed as a randomized, controlled, 2-parallel arm, triple blinded, single center clinical trial. Thirty-two eligible patients with stage II and Grade B periodontitis were randomly assigned into 2 groups:
- Group 1 (intervention group) was treated with SRP combined with intrasulcular application of 1% Propolis gel.
- Group 2 (control group) was treated with SRP combined with intrasulcular application of placebo gel.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Regarding clinical periodontal parameters as a primary objective.
Probing pocket depth will be measured from the gingival margin to the base of the periodontal pocket to the nearest mm. with use of periodontal probe.
The following clinical parameters will be recorded for the individuals preoperatively and 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
B) Secondary outcome: • Biochemically By analyzing quantitative changes the level of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)
The examined area will be dried by gentle air stream and isolated with cotton rolls to prevent contamination with saliva. Next, with sterile tweezers one perio paper will be inserted into the selected pocket and left in situ for 30 seconds. Perio paper a

SRP
PLACEBO COMPARATORThe participants were randomly assigned to receive medicated with SRP combined with intrasulcular application of placebo gel. After baseline assessment, at the same day the included participants will receive full mouth one stage debridement using hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers under local anesthesia -if needed- for patient's comfort. Participants will be provided with a toothpaste, a medium toothbrush, a written oral hygiene instruction brochure (Brushing twice daily for 4-weeks using Modified Bass technique and interdental flossing).
PROPOLIS group
ACTIVE COMPARATORAfter baseline assessment, at the same day the included participants will receive full mouth one stage debridement using hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers under local anesthesia -if needed- for patient's comfort. 2- Oral Hygiene Instructions Participants will be provided with a toothpaste, a medium toothbrush, a written oral hygiene instruction brochure (Brushing twice daily for 4-weeks using Modified Bass technique and interdental flossing). 3-Base line visit (Local delivery application): Propolis gel will be applied by syringe with blunt tip gently and removed slowly in order not to harm the tissue for group 1 patients (Test group) after phase 1 therapy at the second day (48 hours) following non-surgical periodontal therapy
Interventions
It will include 16 patients with periodontitis stage II, grade B, at least 2 sites with pocket PD = 4-5 mm and CAL = 3-4 mm each will receive non-surgical periodontal therapy followed by application of propolis gel. After baseline assessment, at the same day the included participants will receive full mouth one stage debridement using hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers under local anesthesia -if needed- for patient's comfort. 2- Oral Hygiene Instructions Participants will be provided with a toothpaste, a medium toothbrush, a written oral hygiene instruction brochure (Brushing twice daily for 4-weeks using Modified Bass technique and interdental flossing). 3-Base line visit (Local delivery application): Propolis gel will be applied by syringe with blunt tip gently and removed slowly in order not to harm the tissue for group 1 patients (Test group) after phase 1 therapy at the second day (48 hours) following non-surgical periodontal therapy
