ABSTRACT
Article History:
Background: The aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate the efficacy of dehydrated human chorion membrane with and without 2% Metronidazole gel in periodontal pocket therapy in patients with moderate to severe periodontitis. Methods: 40 patients were recruited for the study and were divided into 2 groups of 20 patients each. The clinical parameters assessed were plaque index, gingival index, pocket probing depth and clinical attachment loss. The clinical indices were assessed at baseline, 1 month and 3 months and and pocket probing depth and clinical attachment loss were assessed at baseline and 3 months postoperatively. Surgical therapy involved open flap debridement for both groups followed by placement of chorion membrane in Group 1 and placement of chorion membrane with application of 2% metronidazole gel on the flap side of the membrane in Group 2. membrane Results: For all the clinical parameters assessed, highly significant (p
