Brief Summary

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

In the past few years, studies have evaluated the effect of systemic use of sodium alendronate, especially in the treatment of structural bone defects caused by periodontal diseases. This study evaluated the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment associated with the topical application of 1% sodium alendronate on clinical and topographical parameters. Chronic periodontitis patients were recruited for the present study and were monitored at 3 and 6 months after baseline examinations. A placebo gel was used as control.

Placebo

Adjunctive use of placebo gel as part of periodontitis treatment

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

After manual quadrant-wise scaling and root planing, at the final treatment appointment the randomized selected periodontal site (showing pocket depth ≥ 5mm, clinical attachment loss \> 3mm and proximal bone defects) received 1% placebo gel
