Efficiency of Flurbiprofen 2.5% in Comparison to 98% Aloe Vera Gel as an Adjunctive Therapy to Scaling and Root Planning in the Initial Treatment of Stage III Chronic Periodontitis in Smoking Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating 2.5% flurbiprofen, 98% aloe vera, and 1 other intervention for Periodontitis Chronic Generalized Severe. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to evaluate clinically the efficacy of flurbiprofen gel in comparison to Aloe Vera gel as adjunctive to SRP in the reduction of periodontal pockets in patients with chronic periodontitis in smoking patients. All patients will receive SRP prior to treatment. * Group 1: one site will receive flurbiprofen while the contralateral site will receive a placebo * Group 2: one site will receive aloe vera while the contralateral site will receive a placebo * Group 3: one site will receive flurbiprofen while the contralateral site will receive aloe vera Researchers will compare the inter and intra-groups differences to check if there's a variation in the periodontal parameters measured.

Timeline
Interventions
Gel was made of 20% poloxamer and 10% ethanol as an Optimum formulation with sustained release up to 48 hours and a reasonable sol gel transition phase (adjunctive to SRP)
the Aloe vera gel employed possessed a concentration of 98% and was obtained from the reputable brand Avivir (Denmark). The remaining 2% comprised normal saline. The process of obtaining the 98% Aloe vera gel involved meticulous washing of mature Aloe Vera leaves under running water, followed by the removal of their outer skin. Subsequently, each leaf was divided into smaller pieces, from which the gel was allowed to seep out and carefully collected in a sterile container. The collected gel was then stored at 4°C until the time of its application in the study (adjunctive to SRP)
