Brief Summary  
Informed consent is obtained from participating subjects. The subjects are assessed for Gingival Index, Plaque Index, Relative attachment level, Pocket probing depth. Following the recordings of clinical parameters, scaling and root planing will be performed. The selected sites will be randomly allocated into Group I & Group II. The clinical parameters will be recorded at the baseline for both the groups i.e Group I and Group II before the commencement of the treatment. Group I - Scaling and root planing will be done followed by local drug delivery i.e., placement of Chlorhexidine gel. Group II - Scaling and root planing will be done followed by local drug delivery i.e., placement of gel containing combination of Chlorhexidine and Metronidazole. The clinical parameters will be recorded again after 30 days.
