Official Title: Comparative Evaluation of Locally Delivered 1.2% Atorvastatin and 1.2% Rosuvastatin Gel in Treatment of Mandibular Degree ii Furcation Defects in Chronic Periodontitis Sub
Brief Summary: Statins are one of the lipid lowering drugs that help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body by specifically inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; which is a rate limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvastatin (RSV) and atorvastatin (ATV) have shown to have bone stimulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of 1.2% RSV and 1.2% ATV gel as a local drug delivery and redelivery system as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of degree II furcation defects.
