About this trial
This retrospective observational study will evaluate the clinical response to Sterify Gel, a sterile mucoadhesive polymeric hydrogel, when used as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy in adult patients with stage II, III, or IV periodontitis.
The study will analyze already existing anonymized clinical records from patients treated at the Periodontal Unit of IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele in Milan, Italy. Patients included in the analysis received scaling and root planing/minimally invasive non-surgical periodontal therapy, followed by local application of Sterify Gel into periodontal pockets with probing depth greater than 4 mm.
The main objective is to assess reduction in periodontal pocket depth from baseline to 6, 12, and 24 weeks. Other periodontal clinical parameters, including clinical attachment level, gingival recession, bleeding, plaque score, tooth mobility, and furcation involvement, will also be evaluated.
