Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Eugenol free dressing  Consists of 2 pastes: 1. Base paste containing zinc oxide with added oils and gums, and lorothidol which is a fungicide related to hexachlorophene. 2. The catalyst paste containing coconut fatty acids thickened with colophony resin or rosin and chlorothymol. 
Intervention  Nanocrystalline silver membrane  The silver delivery dressing is a 3 layer wound dressing consisting of an absorbent rayon/polyester core laminated between an upper and lower layer of silver coated high density polyethylene mesh. The laminations are held in place with ultrasound welds. The silver coating, which consists of 0.25±0.4 mg silver per mg high-density polyethylene, is a binary allow of silver and oxygen with negligible contaminants.

Brief Summary   This is a randomized clinical interventional study to be performed in the Department of Periodontics on the patients suffering from Chronic Periodontitis indicated for Periodontal Flap surgery with a sample size of 42 subjects(21 in each group). The subjects will be divided into two groups. One group will receive a eugenol free periodontal dressing after the surgery and other group will receive nanocrystalline silver membrane below the eugenol free dressing. The clinical parameters of wound healing will be assessed at 7, 14 and 21 days post surgery using Healing Index by Landry, Turnbull and Howley .Secondary outcomes that will be measured are Total Colony Count below the dressings and measurement of a biomarker VEGF through ELISA, both at baseline and 7 days post surgery. The aim of the study is to assess wound healing capacity and anti-microbial effect of silver nanocrystalline membrane below the periodontal dressing given after the periodontal surgery.
