The present study is evaluating the clinical and microbiological effect of Aloe vera gel as an adjunct to SRP in treatment of chronic periodontitis.
The study was conducted on thirty patients divided into two equal groups, one of them received Aloe vera gel as a subgingival topical agent after SRP, administrated weekly for three weeks, while the other group was treated with SRP only.
Compared to baseline, both groups showed an improvement in all parameters at the end of the study.
