This Study Evaluates the Clinical Effect of Adding Spermidine Gel to Minimally Invasive Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy (MINST) to Improve Periodontal Health.

February 25, 2025 updated by: Luca Ramaglia

Evaluation of Subgingival Mechanical Periodontal Therapy with the Additional Local Application of a Spermidine-Based Gel

This study investigates the effectiveness of using a spermidine-based gel as an adjunct to minimally invasive non-surgical periodontal therapy (MINST) for treating periodontitis. The primary outcome is to assess whether the addition of spermidine gel reduces pocket depth (PPD) compared to MINST alone. Secondary outcome include evaluating other periodontal parameters like bleeding on probing, FMBS and FMPS and CAL over a 12-month period.
