Evaluation of Indian Gooseberry/ Amla in the Management of Chronic Periodontitis
Sponsor: Mahatma Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Dental Sciences
Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of amla (Emblica officinalis) on patients with chronic generalized periodontitis, using a single-blind, randomized controlled study design. 1. At baseline, all participants fulfilling the I/E criteria would be randomized into Arm I or II. 2. All participants in Arm I and II would undergo scaling and root planing (SRP). 3. After 1 month, Arm I participants would receive adjunct amla for 2 weeks, and Arm II participants would receive no treatment. 4. Both arms would be followed until the end of 6 months and evaluated for clinical and biochemical parameters.
