Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the magnitude of vital signs changes during 3 different dental treatments.

Efficacy of grape seed extract gel in the treatment of chronic periodontitis: A randomized clinical study.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of applying grape seed extract (GSE) gel in periodontal pockets for the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Methods: Eighty-six sites with pocket depth (PD) >4 mm were selected from five systemically-healthy patients in whom scaling, and root planing were performed, and oral instructions were given, a week earlier. PD, gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were measured, and sites were then divided into the control group (N = 38) and GSE group (N = 48).
