Brief Summary   The current study is a Comparative Clinical Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Novel Local Drug Delivery Agent Containing Tetracycline HCL Micro-particles vs Tetracyline HCL fibers (Periodontal AB plusTM) as an adjunct to mechanotherapy for the Treatment of isolated Periodontal Pockets in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis.
Primary objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of the novel local drug delivery system containing Tetracycline Hydrochloride Microparticles to commercially available tetracycline fibers (Periodontal AB PlusTM) as an adjunct to mechanotherapy in the management of isolated periodontal of chronic periodontitis
Study design:The study is designed an Interventional Prospective Randomized Clinical Study. It is a single-blinded, single centre, institution-based study.

The patients in Group A, [EXPERIMENTAL GROUP]

1. Subgingival curettage will be done under LA infiltration (1 in 1,00,000 adrenaline) using sterile curettes.

2. Tetracycline HCl Micro-particles will be placed in the curetted pockets

3. Periodontal dressing (Coe-Pak) will be placed over the site.

The patients in Group B [Control GROUP]

1. Subgingival curettage will be done under LA infiltration (1 in 1,00,000 adrenaline) using sterile curettes.

2. Tetracycline HCl fibers (Periodontal AB Plus) will be placed in the curetted pockets

3. Periodontal dressing (Coe-Pak) will be placed over the site.

· Patients will be recalled after 1 week for Periodontal dressing removal and surgical site evaluation

· Oral hygiene instructions will be reinforced

· Patients will be followed up for 1 ,3 , 9months following which the clinical parameters will be reassessed.
