Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Boric acid gel  Based on the results of in vitro experiments, we will be using a 0.75% concentration of boric acid (pH 4.9) in this clinical study, but in gel form, for subgingival delivery once after completion of scaling and root planing.  
Comparator Agent  Curcumin gel  Curcumin solution will be prepared by mixing 250 gms of freshly prepared rhizome of curcuma longa in 5 ml of ethanol and kept in hot air oven at 540 degree Celsius for 24 h. A residue obtained will be mixed with 95 ml of glycerol, which will be used as a natural local drug delivery.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary        Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is induced by bacterial biofilms that initiate host response in gingival connective tissue. It is considered an infection because there is a bacterial etiology and an immune response. Sub gingival environment is Ideal for pathogenic bacteria and Sub gingival microorganisms are the principle etiologic factor in the development of periodontitis. Conventional therapy (e.g., scaling and root planing [SRP] and ultrasonic debridement) without adjunctive chemotherapy is often sufficient to suppress bacterial pathogens, thereby attaining periodontal health. Local delivery of antimicrobial agents in Periodontics implies antimicrobial therapy placed directly in the sub gingival region. Borinic acid are quinoline esters, a recently-identified class of new antibacterial compounds that contains boron. It plays a role in inflammatory and immune response regulation. It also plays a vital role in osteogenesis and the maintenance of bones.  Curcumin, the primary active constituent of turmeric exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anticarcinogenic, antiviral, and antimicrobial activities. Therefore, the present study will be undertaken to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of boric acid gel and curcumin gel  as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in patients with chronic periodontitis.
