Measure
Group I (Control Group)
Was assigned for patients who had scaling and root planing and empty capsules filled with carbohydrates (placebo) for 40 days. Placebo: 15 patients (in group I) suffering from localized aggressive periodontitis followed a strict plaque control program (within two weeks); followed by a systemic course of placebo capsules oral supplementation for 40 days.
Group II (Test Group)
Included those patients who received a systemic β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan (100 mg capsule) once/ day for 40 days after scaling and root planing. β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan: 15 patients (in group II) suffering from localized aggressive periodontitis followed a strict plaque control program (within two weeks); followed by a systemic course of β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan oral supplementation for 40 days.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0 and day 91 post therapy

Population: A total of 30 localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP) participants were included in this study. Medical and dental histories were obtained and intraoral examinations were carried out at pre-screening visit. Patients were diagnosed to have LAP based on the clinical and radiographic findings measurements

It is the distance from the base of the pocket till the cemento-enamel junction using Williams graduated probe

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0 and day 91 post therapy

Population: A total of 30 localized aggressive periodontitis(LAP) participants were included in this study. Medical and dental histories were obtained and intraoral examinations were carried out at pre-screening visit. Patients were diagnosed to have LAP based on the clinical and radiographic findings.

Their immuno-expression was assessed in the gingival samples harvested from the gingiva adjacent to hopeless teeth (planned to be extracted for dento-periodontal causes)
