Brief summary
The aim of this clinical study is to investigate whether FLJ gel has effects on oral health, such as reducing BOP or plaque, and whether it affects the reduction of aMMP-8. The main questions are: * Does FLJ gel reduce signs of oral inflammation? * Are there any issues in the mouth when using the gel? Participants will: * Apply FLJ gel twice a day every day for a month * Visit the clinic every two weeks for check-ups and tests * Keep a diary of your symptoms and how many times you use FLJ gel.
Detailed description
Fifteen patients will be randomly selected for the study, and a dental examination will be conducted, including periodontal pocket measurement, which investigates gum bleeding, pocket depth, and plaque amount. The aMMP-8 mouth rinse test will be performed at each of the three visits.
