Evaluation of Hydrogel Application in the Treatment of Periodontitis and Peri-implantitis

Firstly, after appropriate oral hygiene training, full mouth supragingival scaling will be performed using an ultrasonic device (EMS Piezon ultrasonic system, EMS Electro Medical Systems, Switzerland). Non-surgical periodontal treatment will be completed after subgingival curettage of peri-implant pocket areas between 5-8 mm in the contralateral quadrant. The tested site will be partially isolated and then air-dried. A bent, blunt-tipped needle syringe will be used to inject the H42® hydrogel into the pocket, ensuring that the tip reaches the deepest point of the pocket. Once the gel is visible at the gingival margin, the needle will be gently removed from the pocket. After approximately 0.1 mL of gel has been applied, excess gel will be removed with a sterile gauze swab to prevent any spreading effect or possible systemic effect. After application of the H42 hydrogel, the area will be kept dry for 5 minutes to ensure optimum adhesion of H42 to the pocket tissue.

Systemic and dental anamnesis will be taken from all patients.
