Study aim
-
The Effect of Topical Application of Aloe Vera Gel on IL-1B, IL-17 of Crevicular Fluid in patients with chronic Periodontitis
-
Design
-
A randomized controlled clinical trial with parallel, single-blind, randomized groups
-
Settings and conduct
-
Patient clinical parameters included plaque index (PI by O'Leary 1972 index), gingival index (GI, Loe & Sillness), and probe depth (PD, by Williams 6-tooth probe) at four dental surfaces (mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual) will be reviewed. Then SRP is done. Each person's mouth is randomly divided (dice throw) into two case and control areas. Aloe vera gel will be injected into the periodontal envelope using an insulin syringe. For the opposite control teeth, distilled water replaces the aloe vera gel. Clinical marker measurements will be performed by an examiner who is blind to the type of treatment. IL-1B and IL-17 will be measured using ELISA kit.
