Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present clinical trial was designed to investigate the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of systemic ayurvedic immunomodulator Septilin as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis (CP)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVE: The present clinical trial was designed to investigate the clinical and microbiological effectiveness of systemic ayurvedic immunomodulator Septilin as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis (CP).

DESIGN: Sixty five subjects presenting at least twelve teeth with probing depth (PD) ≥4 mm were selected. 33 subjects were randomly assigned to full-mouth SRP + Septilin (group 1) and 32 subjects were assigned to full-mouth SRP + Placebo (group 2). The clinical outcomes evaluated were plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), clinical attachment level (CAL), PD and % of sites with bleeding on probing (%BOP) at baseline (B\\L), 10 days, 1, 3 and 6 months interval and percentage of sites positive for A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis and T. forsythia were recorded at B/L, 3 and 6 months using polymerase chain reaction.
