Evaluating Safety and Healing Effects of Emanate Perio PODS After Scaling and Root Planing in Adults with Stage III Periodontitis

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare the safety and healing effects of a periodontal hydrogel dressing called Emanate Perio PODS in adults with generalized stage III periodontitis. The study evaluates whether individuals receiving this dressing after plaque and tartar removal experience better wound healing than those who receive no treatment. The trial focuses on healing in the periodontal pockets, which are considered chronic wounds compromised by bacteria. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group uses the Emanate Perio PODS device twice daily for 30 minutes immediately after toothbrushing and interdental cleaning for 15 days following scaling and root planing SRP. The other group receives no treatment after SRP. The dressing aims to protect the healing tissue from bacteria during the critical first 30 days post-treatment while the epithelium recovers. Use is limited to twice daily to match recommended oral hygiene routines and improve compliance. During the study, participants undergo periodontal evaluations and digital scans to monitor healing progress. The main outcome is the presence or absence of gingival bleeding 60 days after non-surgical therapy to assess wound healing effectiveness. Researchers also monitor safety and healing through additional measures at this timepoint. Participants are expected to follow study instructions and refrain from using certain oral care products during the trial, which lasts through the healing period assessed at 60 days.
