Aim: To measure the change in depth of periodontal pockets after performing local drug delivery with GREEN TEA GEL and comparing it with chlorhexidine gel (Hexidine Gel).
Materials Method: A total of 20 chronic periodontitis patients participated based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Complete Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) was performed for all subjects and LDD was done using green tea gel on one site and with hexidine gel on contralateral site. Following parameters including Gingival Index (GI), Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL), and Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) were recorded at baseline and on the 28th day.
Results: During follow up being done on 28th , tooth sites which received green gel showed significantly lower mean scores (GI=1.72, p=0.006,CAL=1.60,p=0.003 and PPD=3.83 mm,) as compared to baseline (GI=2.00, CAL=1.90, and PPD=4.79).
Conclusion: Green tea gel was found be successful in reducing pocket depths and inflammation, after 4 weeks, in chronic periodontitis patients, when been used as an LDD agent as an adjuvant to SRP
