Brief Summary  

The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare clinically the effect of Triphala gel and Chlorhexidine gel as Local Drug Delivery agent and its effect on Salivary Matrix Metalloproteinases-8 levels. A total of 40npatients with chronic periodontitis will be selected from OPD of Dept. of Periodontics, Nair Hospital Dental College, Mumbai and will be equally divided in two groups of which one will receive Triphala gel as LDD and Chlorhexidine gel as LDD and 20 periodontally healthy patients will be selected on which only Salivary MMP-8 estimation will be done. The study is  clinical interventional prospective study. Computer generated randomization will be done. The study duration will be of 18 months of which 4 months for patient’s follow-up and 14 months for completion of project. The efficacy parameters are plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment levels and salivary MMP-8 levels will be recorded at baseline in periodontally healthy group and at baseline, 1 month and 3 months post surgery in other two groups. The data will be analyzed individually for all the patients. The statistical analysis method to be used will be Repeated measure ANOVA followed by post-hoc test. There is no conflict of interest.
