AV has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, hypoglycaemic, healing promoting and immune boosting properties. The present study is designed to investigate the effectiveness of AV gel local drug delivery as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of subjects with chronic periodontitis (CP) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).\n\nMATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 60 subjects with probing depth (PD) ≥5mm and clinical attachment level (CAL) ≥3mm were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 was treated with SRP + placebo gel local drug delivery (LDD) and Group 2 with SRP + AV gel LDD. Clinical parameters including full mouth plaque index (PI), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded first at baseline and then at intervals of 3 months and 6 months.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '45 Years', 'minimumAge': '25 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Well-controlled type 2 DM\n* Chronic periodontitis with moderate to deep pockets \\[probing depth (PD) ≥5mm and clinical attachment loss (CAL) ≥3mm\\]\n* No history of antibiotic or periodontal therapy in the preceding 6 months.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Any known disease/condition or on any medication that can affect the periodontal status\n* Known or suspected allergy to herbal medications\n* Systemic antimicrobial therapy\n* Aggressive periodontitis\n* Smokers\n* Alcoholics\n* Immunocompromised patients\n* Pregnant or lactating females'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02386020', 'briefTitle': 'Aloe Vera in Chronic Periodontitis With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore'}, 'officialTitle': 'Clinical Efficacy of Locally Delivered Aloe Vera Gel as an Adjunct to Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy in Chronic Periodontitis Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'GDCRI/ACM/PG/PhD/10E/2013-14'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Placebo', 'description': 'After SRP, placebo gel was delivered subgingivally into periodontal pockets.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: placebo gel']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Aloe vera', 'description': 'After SRP, aloe vera gel was delivered subgingivally into periodontal pockets.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: aloe vera']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'aloe vera', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'After SRP, aloe vera gel was delivered subgingivally into periodontal pockets.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Aloe vera']}, {'name': 'placebo gel', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'After SRP, placebo gel was delivered subgingivally into periodontal pockets.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Placebo']}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Professor & Head, Department of Periodontology', 'investigatorFullName': 'Dr. A R Pradeep', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore'}}}}
