: Periodontitis is a biofilm associated disease that induces an irreversible inflammatory state that leads to the destruction of the supporting structure of the teeth. Management of periodontal disease is through thorough removal of biofilm which is pivotal for having better oral health. Scaling and root planning (SRP) is fundamental treatment for periodontitis. Years of documented research have established that chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), gold standard of chemical plaque control agent is safe stable and effective in preventing and controlling plaque formation. Bromelain is an extract derived from Ananas comosus (popularly known as pineapple), contains proteinases that exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, antibacterial effect against periodontopathogens. Bromelain gel has shown to have chemicomechanical method of caries removal. Quercetin present in guava have excellent antibacterial actions against periodontal pathogens, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia (Pi) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn). 2% Quercetin has shown to be advantageous for subgingival application after scaling and rootplaning. Bromelain-Quercetin gel has shown adjunctive effect for treatment in covid-19 patients. As there is less literature in this combination, we intend to study its effects. Individually bromelain and quercetin have been studied for treatment in oral cavity as gel form. This study will be first of its kind to check the efficacy of 2% bromelain-quercetin gel and to compare its effects with 0.2% Chlorhexidine in stage I/II and grade B periodontits.
