Brief Summary  

Background: Gingival inflammation, a hallmark of periodontal diseases, serves as a critical focus in oral health research. Characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gingival tissues, it reflects the body’s response to bacterial biofilms accumulating on the tooth surfaces. This inflammatory process, initiated by the interaction between oral bacteria and the host immune system, can lead to a spectrum of periodontal conditions ranging from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis. Understanding the efficacy of various methods to treat gingival inflammation  is essential for refining treatment strategies and enhancing patient satisfaction in the realm of gingival inflammation.

Aim: The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of employing the microneedling technique with olive oil on gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation in individuals with gingivitis. This involved the creation of microholes in the gingival tissue to enhance the concentration and penetration of the oils through the gingival tissues. 

Materials and Methods: Twenty-four individuals diagnosed with plaque-induced gingivitis were selected from Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A, comprise of twelve individuals who receive periodontal mechanical treatment only and  Group B, consisting of twelve individuals treated with dermapen and topical olive oil. Post-intervention assessments of gingival and plaque status will be conducted using a modified average gingival index and a plaque index at baseline, 1, 2, and 4 weeks.
