Abstract

Aim: The study aims to compare the effectiveness of scaling root planing alone and scaling root planing with oxygen-releasing gel in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Materials and methods: A split-mouth randomized controlled trial was designed on 25 systemically healthy participants with 50 sites having chronic periodontitis. Two sites were selected for each patient and were randomly allocated into two groups. A total of 50 sites were selected and divided into two groups with 25 test sites in group I (Test group) and 25 control sites in group II (Control group). Group I received scaling and root planing (SRP) followed by placement of BlueM oral gel, while group II received SRP alone. Probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival index (GI), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded at baseline and after 6 weeks and were compared accordingly. Results: The results revealed a reduction in PPD, CAL, GI, and BOP in both groups. However, the test group showed a statistically significant reduction when compared with the control group in the above-mentioned clinical parameters. Conclusion: The results suggested that the use of oxygen-releasing gel with SRP provided additional benefits in the management of chronic periodontitis by promoting greater reductions in the clinical parameters. Clinical significance: BlueM oral gel, i.e. the oxygen-releasing gel as a local drug delivery, may be an excellent adjunct to SRP in treating chronic periodontitis.
