Introduction: Chitosan membranes with glycerol can function as an effective dispersing agent for different antibiotics or active ingredients that can be used in the treatment of diseases present in the oral cavity.
Methods: The effects of the addition of glycerol on the mechanical, water absorption, swelling, pH, thickness, disintegration, rugosity, and antibacterial properties of chitosan-chlorhexidine- glycerol membranes were investigated in this study.
Results And Discussion: Mechanical results indicated that chitosan membranes' rugosity, strength, flexion, and thickness differed at loading 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20% of glycerol ( < 0.

Article Synopsis
- This study assessed how non-surgical periodontal treatment (NS-PT) affects periodontal health and inflammatory markers in women with both periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- The research involved 30 women with an average age of 52, who underwent NS-PT and had their periodontal and RA activity metrics measured before treatment and at 6 and 12 weeks post-treatment.
- Results showed significant reductions in periodontal indices, disease activity scores, and inflammatory markers (like calprotectin) after NS-PT, suggesting its effectiveness in managing both periodontitis and RA.
