Periodontitis is characterized by alveolar bone loss induced by the host immune response to bacterial insult. Because povidone iodine is known to be a powerful antiseptic, there is biologic rationale to suspect that PVI subgingival irrigations after SRP could positively affect the periodontium

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of multiple subgingival irrigations of 10% Povidone Iodine (PVI) as adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of severe generalized chronic periodontitis (GChP);Secondary Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of multiple subgingival irrigations of 10% Povidone Iodine (PVI) as adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of severe generalized chronic periodontitis (GChP);Primary end point(s): The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of PVI on periodontal probing depth (PPD). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: up to 6 months | — |
