Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of local delivery of melatonin and metformin loaded nanoparticle gel as adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of periodontal intra bony defect. fifty two healthy patients(n=52) with at least one periodontal intra-bony defect will be included in the study, all selected patients will be motivated about the benefit of plaque control and periodontal treatment .
