Clinical & Biochemical Effect of Atorvastatin in Nano Particles Gel in Periodontitis Treatment

Syringeable Atorvastatin Loaded Eugenol Enriched PEGylated Cubosomes In-situ Gel for the Intra-pocket Treatment of Periodontitis: Statistical Optimization and Clinical Assessment

Periodontitis is a destructive chronic inflammatory disease characterized by periodontium damage and pocket formation between the tooth and the gingival margin resulting in ultimate tooth loss. Various topical anti-inflammatory drugs were used to treat inflammation in periodontitis. Introducing atorvastatin as a novel remedy for periodontitis treatment necessitates developing a syringeable modified delivery system capable of targeting inflammation within the periodontal pockets.
