Active Oxygen Gel vs Chlorhexidine Gel in Stage II Grade B Periodontitis

This randomized controlled clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of locally delivered active oxygen gel and chlorhexidine gel as adjuncts to scaling and root planing in the treatment of stage II grade B periodontitis.Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to one of three parallel groups: SRP with placebo gel, SRP with active oxygen gel, or SRP with chlorhexidine gel. The study will evaluate changes in probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, gingival index, plaque index, and gingival crevicular fluid tumor necrosis factor alpha levels at baseline and follow-up visits to compare the effects of the three treatment approaches.

Clinical & Biochemical Evaluation of Antioxidant Vs. Chlorhexidine as an Adjunctive to Non-Surgical Treatment of Stage II-grade B Periodontitis

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the clinical and biochemical effects of an antioxidant agent and chlorhexidine when used as adjuncts to non-surgical periodontal therapy in patients with Stage II Grade B periodontitis. Eligible participants will receive scaling and root planing (SRP) and will be randomly assigned to either the antioxidant or chlorhexidine treatment group. Clinical periodontal parameters, including plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, and clinical attachment level, will be assessed at baseline and follow-up visits. Biochemical analysis of inflammatory markers, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1), will be performed to evaluate the inflammatory response to treatment. The study aims to determine whether antioxidant therapy provides comparable or superior benefits to chlorhexidine as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment.
