Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary objective of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of Metrohex Plus Gel, low level LASER therapy and Tetracycline fibers as adjuncts to Scaling and Root Planning (SRP) in the management of chronic periodontitis. By analysing their impact on key clinical parameters including Plaque index (PI), Gingival index (GI), Sulcus Bleeding index, Probing Pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) over a defined treatment and follow-up period, with the goal of identifying the most effective adjunct for non-surgical periodontal therapy.
