Researchers are studying individuals with generalized stage III periodontitis to compare the safety and healing effects of a new periodontal hydrogel dressing called Emanate Perio PODS. This device is being evaluated to see if it improves wound healing after plaque and tartar removal from teeth compared to no treatment. The study focuses on the critical healing period following non-surgical periodontal therapy and aims to protect healing tissue from harmful bacteria. The trial involves two groups one group uses the Emanate Perio PODS device twice daily for 30 minutes each session for 15 days after scaling and root planing SRP, while the other group receives no additional treatment after SRP. The dressing is applied immediately after toothbrushing and interdental cleaning to shield the healing periodontal pocket during the first 30 days post-treatment, especially during the initial phases when the tissue is vulnerable. Participants will be monitored over 60 days after their non-surgical therapy. Researchers will assess healing by checking for gingival bleeding and other signs of wound repair. The study includes regular periodontal evaluations, intraoral digital scans, and requires participants to follow oral hygiene instructions carefully. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the dressing in supporting tissue healing after SRP with minimal burden on participants.
