Summary

This study looks at whether adding hyaluronic acid gel or a special blood product (Alb-PRF) to standard deep-cleaning treatment helps people with advanced gum disease (periodontitis). 51 adults aged 30-60 with Stage III periodontitis will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard cleaning alone, cleaning plus hyaluronic acid, or cleaning plus Alb-PRF. Researchers will measure gum health and inflammation markers at 1 and 3 months to see if these add-ons improve healing.
