1% Alendronate and Aloevera Gel Local Host Modulating Agents in Chronic Periodontitis Subjects With Class II Furcation Defects: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
1% Alendronate and Aloevera Gel Local Host Modulating Agents in Chronic Periodontitis Subjects With Class II Furcation Defects: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Alendronate (ALN), commonly use bisphosphonates is proposed to have osteostimulative properties in vivo and in vitro, as shown by an increase in the matrix formation, and acts as a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. AV widely known for its wound healing, analgesic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, immune boosting and significant anti-inflammatory properties. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1% ALN and AV gel as a local drug delivery as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of degree II furcation defects

The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1% ALN and AV gel as a local drug delivery as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of degree II furcation defects.
Methods: Ninety patients with mandibular buccal class II furcation defects were randomly allocated into three treatment groups: SRP plus placebo gel (group 1), SRP plus 1% ALN gel (group 2) and SRP plus AV gel (group3). Clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at baseline and gel were delivered at respective site. Then again all clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded after 6 and 12 months from baseline.
Inclusion Criteria:Systemically healthy patients with mandibular class II furcation defects and asymptomatic endodontically vital mandibular molars with radiolucency in furcation area with PD ≥ 5mm and horizontal PD ≥ 3mm and with no history of antibiotic or any periodontal therapy in past 6 months were included in the study -
Exclusion Criteria:Subjects with any known systemic disease, allergic to alendronate or aloe vera, on systemic alendronate therapy, alcoholics, tobacco users, pregnant or lactating women
