Chronic periodontitis, dental calculus
Conditions
Interventions
The treatment will consist of a split-mouth model: in an upper hemiarching will be done the subgingival scraping and root smoothing until the surface judged as free of plaque and calculus by the opera
on the opposite side, a papain-based gel (Papacárie®, Formula e Ação, São Paulo, Brazil) will be applied to the subgingival region for 60 seconds and then root planing will be performed with the same

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected, with the treatment of periodontitis, the control of the infection, reduction or elimination of the subgingival biofilm and subgingival calculus, promoting the improvement of the pathology. Both the test treatment and the control will improve the disease, with a reduction in infection. The clinical parameters used to assess the treatment result are: Plaque Index, Bleeding on Probing, Pocket Depth and Clinical Insertion Level. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analyze the results between the test and control treatment to see if there was any difference in any clinical parameter. The clinical parameters used to assess the treatment result are: Plaque Index, Bleeding on Probing, Pocket Depth and Clinical Attachment Level. | — |
