First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a gel made from doxycycline and atorvastatin in tiny chitosan particles, placed directly into gum pockets after standard deep cleaning. The goal is to reduce gum inflammation, pocket depth, and bone loss in 80 adults with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. Researchers will measure gum health and bone levels over time to see if the gel improves outcomes compared to cleaning alone.
