Study Overview

Brief Summary

To evaluate the efficacy of systemic administration of omega 3 PUFA plus low dose aspirin as an adjunctive therapy to regenerative modality of grade II furcation defects in periodontitis patients.

Detailed Description

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the administration of omega 3 PUFA plus low dose aspirin would augment the results following regenerative therapy of furcation defects in chronic periodontitis patients.
