Abstract:

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to study the synergistic effects of SRP (Scaling and root planning) and Cur cumin Gel applications in comparison with SRP alone. Materials and Methods: Two sites in the contra lateral quadrants having probing pocket depths (PPDs) of ≥5 mm were selected in thirty patients. Application of cur cumin gel on a single side followed full mouth scaling and root planning (SRP). Evaluation of plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), PPD and Relative attachment levels (RALs) were done at baseline and after 4 weeks. Results: There was a significant improvement in the PI, GI, PPD and RAL for both quadrants treated only with SRP or combination of SRP and Cur cumin in all patients. However, test group presented lower GI, PI, PPD and RAL than the control group at the end of study period. Conclusion: Higher reduction in plaque accumulation, gingival index and pocket probing depth was seen with Cur cumin as an adjunct to SRP as compared to SRP alone.
