Using bromelain and chlorhexidine gels to treat periodontal pockets after cleaning
Official title: Evaluation of 2%Bromelain Gel With 0.2%Chlorhexidine Gel as Subgingival Local Drug Delivery Following Scaling and Root Planing in Stage II/III and Grade B Periodontitis -Randomized Control Clinical Trail
Run by Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences & Hospital · NCT06505759 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if using bromelain or chlorhexidine gels after a deep cleaning can help people with gum disease heal better than just cleaning alone.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals aged 30-50 with chronic periodontitis and probing depths of 4-6mm.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have undergone any periodontal therapy in the past 6 months or are pregnant may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of 2% bromelain gel and 0.2% chlorhexidine gel as local drug delivery methods following scaling and root planing (SRP) in patients with Stage II/III and Grade B periodontitis. A total of 36 periodontal sites with probing depths of 4-6mm are divided into three groups: one receiving SRP alone, another receiving SRP followed by bromelain gel, and the last receiving SRP followed by chlorhexidine gel. Patients are monitored at 1 week, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks post-treatment to assess outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the effectiveness of periodontal treatment and improve patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promise in using local drug delivery methods for periodontal treatment, suggesting potential success for this approach.
