Investigation of the Safety and Efficacy of Pocket-X Gel

Pocket-X Gel is a biodegradable in-situ gelling product that is inserted into a pre-cleaned periodontal pocket where it quickly turns into a gel that adheres to the periodontal pocket and acts as a filler and physical barrier against bacterial re-colonization at the site of application. Administration of this product typically causes no discomfort. The product naturally degrades after 1-3 weeks.

Scaling and root planing is a conventional gold-standard treatment for periodontitis. As part of this procedure, subgingival plaque and tartar are removed and root surfaces are planed.
