Evaluation of Local Delivery of Aloe Vera Gel as an Adjunct to Non-surgical Treatment in Patients With Chronic Periodontitis

Subgingival administration of Aloe vera gel was preceded by flushing the area with saline to wash away any debris. Aloe vera (1cc) gel was applied subgingivally using atraumatic needle. Patients were instructed not to rinse or drink any liquid for at least 30 minutes. The application was performed at baseline and after 1 and 2 weeks.

Removal of supragingival and sub-gingival calculus and debris was performed, followed by smoothing root surfaces and removing cementum or dentine that is impregnated with calculus and toxins.
