Brief summary

This study will evaluate the effect of the subgingival application of Frankincense extract gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in chronic periodontitis.

Detailed description

: twenty patients will be randomly selected and equally divided into Group I: will receive SRP only, group II: will receive SRP and Frankincense extract the gel. Subgingival application of Frankincense extract gel will be performed following initial SRP )day 1) and at 7, and 14 days. Clinical measurements included pocket depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and clinical attachment level (CAL). Real-time PCR was carried out to determine the effect of the treatment on Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). Clinical measurements and Plaque samples for PCR were recorded at baseline (before treatment), one, and three months after treatment.
