Study aim
-
The effect of topical application of aloe vera gel in the surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis
Determine and compare the values probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, gingival indexT plaque index
-
Design
-
A double-blind randomized clinical trial, sample size 22, as a splint mouth, which is a control and self-test group
-
Settings and conduct
-
Gorgan Dental Clinic، split mouth procedure with randomized pre-prepared list of half of jaws treated only with scaling and rootplaning and the other half with scaling and rootplaning with topical use of aloe vera gel.
