Overview
Brief Summary
This split-mouth clinical study aims to evaluate the woundhealing effects of Moringa oleifera also known as drumstick leaf powder, in postoperative wounds. The minimum sample size is 60 sites, and they are randomly assigned using computer software into two groups. One group will serve as the control site, and the other as the test site. One site will receive only periodontal dressing, while the other site will receive periodontal dressing combined with Moringa oleifera leaf powder.
Participants will be selected based on specific inclusion criteria, which are pocket depth equal to or greater than four millimeters, age above eighteen years, presence of more than twenty teeth, and at least thirty percent of the teeth affected by periodontitis. The exclusion criteria include a history of any systemic disease, pregnancy or lactation, smoking, having undergone periodontal treatment within the past six months, and the use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or mouthwash in the last six months.
Soft tissue healing will be assessed at one week and one month after the procedure using the Early Healing Index developed by Wachtel 2003 and the Healing Index by Landry in 1988. Patient satisfaction regarding wound healing and postoperative discomfort will be evaluated using a 5point Likert scale. Ethical approval will be obtained before the start of the study
