Scientific title Formulation and evaluation of new biodegradable periodontal chip containing Selvadora Persica in chitosan base for the management of chronic periodontitis: a randomized single-blind split mouth study
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source 5/1/6/01
Study hypothesis Therapeutic uses of Salvadora Persica have been found in toothpaste, mouth rinses and endodontic irrigation solution. This newly formulated periodontal chips containing Salvadora persica can be utilized as adjuncts to scaling and root planning in the managements of chronic periodontitis.

Target number of participants 12
Interventions At baseline, all patients were treated with full mouth scaling and root planning. Periodontal pockets were divided into four groups. One of which is the control group, while group two received plain Chitosan chip. Group three received chips containing Salvadora persica extract and group four received chips containing Benzylisothiocyanate.

Plaque index, bleeding on probing, periodontal probing pocket depth and clinical attachment levels using acrylic stents were recorded at day 0 and 60.
Primary outcome measure(s) The result showed reductions in Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) in all 4 groups and these reductions are statistically significant in all 4 groups (p=0.01). The effects of the treatments were evident post treatment recording. At 2 months, PPD was reduced to 4.52 mm in the SRP alone group, to 5.27 in SRP plus chitosan, to 5.60 mm in the SRP plus Salvadora Persica chip group and to 4.63 mm in the SRP plus BITC chip group contrasted with pre-treatment records.
Secondary outcome measure(s) For bleeding on probing, the outcome shows that there was significant improvement in bleeding on probing in all groups post treatment. The enhancements in BOP were comparatively similar for all groups following 2 months (p=0.05).
