Human placental extracts, rich in NADPH, promote nitric oxide-mediated healing and may improve outcomes after non-surgical periodontal therapy. Additionally, oxygen supports healing by enhancing cellular metabolism, bacterial clearance, and tissue regeneration; slow-release formulations like Blue®M gel target anaerobic bacteria in periodontal pockets. Therefore, this study investigated the clinical efficacy of placental extract gel (Placentrex®), high concentration oxygen oral gel (Blue®M) TM as an adjunct to scaling and root planning in stage II periodontitis patients. Method: Study subjects with stage II periodontitis having at least two non-adjacent teeth with probing pocket depth of 3 to 4mm, who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled for the study. The sample size of 8 patients per group was taken. The total sample size was 24 for two groups. Group A: 20 sites received SRP + Placentrex®

Clinical parameters evaluated at 4 weeks & 8-week intervals where, Gingival Index (GI), Modified Papillary Bleeding Index (MPBI), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL). Results: Both Placentrex® and Blue®M gels showed equal improvements in improving the clinical parameters at 4 weeks & 8-week intervals than SRP group alone. Conclusion: Incorporating Placentrex® and Blue®M as local drug delivery after SRP may serve as a beneficial adjunctive therapy in improving the clinical parameters in stage II periodontitis. Keywords: Periodontitis, Placentrex®, Blue®M, Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), Clinical Parameters, Adjunctive Therapy Introduction Periodontitis encompasses a group of related inflammatory diseases that result in the progressive destruction of the tooth-supporting structures, primarily triggered by microbial plaque and bacterial infections. The formation of a highly structured and complex biofilm in the periodontal pocket, predominantly consisting of Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria such as A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis, initiates and perpetuates periodontal attachment loss. As the biofilm extends subgingivally, it becomes increasingly difficult for patients to manage with routine oral hygiene1. Scaling and root planing (SRP) continues to be the gold standard for periodontal therapy; however, due to anatomical complexities and the persistence of deep periodontal pockets, SRP alone often does not achieve complete debridement, necessitating surgical intervention or adjunctive treatments 2. Various locally delivered antimicrobial systems, including chlorhexidine gel, have been investigated as either monotherapy or adjuncts to SRP to enhance bacterial control and improve clinical outcomes. While systemic antibiotics have also been employed, concerns regarding resistance development and the need for higher dosages to achieve effective gingival crevicular fluid concentrations have limited their routine use, further supporting the shift towards local drug delivery systems 3. Human placental extract is gaining attention as a novel adjunctive therapy for periodontal wound healing due to its rich content of bioactive molecules, including proteins, growth factors, enzymes, and nucleotides. These components promote cell migration, collagen production, and tissue regeneration while reducing inflammation by suppressing IL-6 and IL-8. The extract also contains NADPH, which supports nitric oxidemediated wound healing, aids in debridement, bacterial clearance, and re-epithelialization. Studies have shown its potential to stimulate metabolic activity in periodontal cells, enhance matrix formation, and offer antibacterial effects against drug-resistant strains. Used alongside scaling and root planing (SRP), human placental extract may significantly improve healing outcomes in chronic periodontitis2,3. In addition to microbial factors, oxidative stress, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as key contributors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Though ROS play a role in normal biological processes and tissue repair at low levels, their excessive accumulation can lead to tissue damage and inflammation. These reactive species, including singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, also function as intracellular signaling molecules and may influence cellular processes such as autophagy and apoptosis6.

Designed by implantologists, oral surgeons, and dentists, this oxygen-releasing gel is claimed to enhance wound healing, reduce inflammation, and improve oral hygiene by increasing oxygen levels in periodontal pockets, improving early stages of periodontitis, and treating oral infections following trauma, extractions, or implant procedures.4 The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of placental extract gel (Placentrex®) and high concentration oxygen oral gel (Blue®M) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in stage II periodontitis patients. Materials and Methods Study Design and Population This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in the Department of Periodontology and Implantology of MGV’s KBH Dental College and Hospital, Nashik, Maharashtra. The protocol for this clinical trial was registered in the Clinical Trials Registry, India (ICMRNIMS) (CTRI/2025/05/087694). Ethical approval was obtained from the KBH Dental College Institutional Ethics Committee (EC/NEW/INST/2020/931). The study enrolled 20 sites in 24 participants with Stage II periodontitis. The inclusion criteria consisted of individuals aged 18 - 45 years with at least two non-adjacent teeth with probing depth 4 mm8. Systemically healthy patients. The exclusion criteria encompassed individuals with systemic diseases that could impact periodontal health, patients having protective or orthodontic appliances. Patients who are smokers or using any other tobacco products. Female patients who are pregnant and lactating. The study design was a randomized controlled trial and individual were divided randomly by computer generated random assignment program for allocation to equally distribute them into the three groups, Group A: 20 sites will receive SRP + Placentrex® Group B: 20 sites will receive SRP + Blue®M Group C: 20 sites received SRP. Treatment Procedure After the selection of sites according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, in first visit a detailed case history was recorded and clinical examination was done. The patients were assessed for the following clinical parameters: Gingival Index (GI) (Loe and Silness,1963)(1,9), Modified Papillary Bleeding Index (MPBI) (Barnett et al.,1980)1,9, Probing pocket depth (PPD)(1) and Clinical attachment level (CAL)(1). A single investigator assessed these parameters using a University of North Carolina-15 (UNC-15) periodontal probe1. After the examination, the study was explained to the selected subjects. Informed consent was obtained from subjects in their preferred language. In second visit, complete scaling and root planing was done. Only those sites with probing pocket depth of 4mm were selected8. Each Patient was randomly divided into three groups. Baseline clinical parameters were recorded. Administration of Placentrex® gel and Blue®M gel in the periodontal pockets (up to the marginal gingiva) was carried out using syringe and needle (respective gels were loaded in separate syringes each). Post-operative instructions were explained to the patient, which were as follows: a. Maintain good oral hygiene with regular tooth brushing with soft toothbrush and toothpaste and rinsing the mouth after every meal. b. Do not use any mouthwash/mouthrinse until prescribed.

The table 2a presents an intragroup comparison of various periodontal parameters following Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) treatment over different time intervals—baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. The Gingival Index (GI), which measures inflammation severity, showed a gradual reduction from 1.71 ± 0.35 at baseline to 1.45 ± 0.25 at 8 weeks, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.005, indicating meaningful improvement in gingival health. The Modified Plaque Bleeding Index (MPBI) also declined from 1.2 ± 0.42 at baseline to 0.95 ± 0.36 at 8 weeks, though its p-value of 0.90 suggests that the change was not statistically significant. Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) decreased from 4.2 ± 0.41 mm at baseline to 3.5 ± 0.52 mm at 8 weeks, with a p-value of 0.15, indicating an improvement but lacking strong statistical significance. Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) showed a marked reduction from 7.6 ± 0.14 mm at baseline to 5.1 ± 0.45 mm at 8 weeks, with a highly significant p-value of 0.003, suggesting substantial periodontal healing. These findings indicate that SRP led to improvements in periodontal health, particularly in GI and CAL, while changes in MPBI and PPD were less statistically significant.

In table 4 at the 8-week time point, an intergroup comparison was conducted among Group A (SRP + Placentrex®), Group B (SRP + Blue®M™), and Group C (SRP only) to evaluate differences in periodontal health parameters. The Gingival Index (GI) showed the greatest reduction in Group B (1.05 ± 0.24) compared to Group A (1.25 ± 0.31) and Group C (1.45 ± 0.25), with a statistically significant p-value of 0.037, confirming enhanced gingival health in Groups A and B compared to SRP alone. The Modified Plaque Bleeding Index (MPBI) demonstrated improvements across all groups, with Group B (0.81 ± 0.20) showing the greatest reduction. However, the p-value (0.072) suggests that these differences were not statistically significant. Regarding Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Group B (2.9 ± 0.23 mm) exhibited the most substantial improvement, followed by Group A (3.1 ± 0.21 mm) and Group C (3.5 ± 0.52 mm), with a significant p-value of 0.039, reinforcing the superior effect of adjunct therapies. Similarly, Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) showed notable improvements, with Group B (3.5 ± 0.25 mm) demonstrating the greatest attachment gain, followed by Group A (4.6 ± 0.45 mm) and Group C (5.1 ± 0.45 mm), with a statistically significant p-value of 0.028, indicating better periodontal healing in Groups A and B. After 8 weeks, all groups showed improvements in periodontal health, but Group B (SRP + Blue®M™) exhibited the most pronounced benefits, particularly in GI, PPD, and CAL, with statistically significant differences compared to SRP alone. Group A also showed notable gains, though less than Group B. While MPBI improved across all groups, the differences were not statistically significant. These findings suggest that Blue®M™ had the most substantial impact on periodontal healing, reinforcing its effectiveness as an adjunct therapy to SRP. Table 5: Mean Change from Baseline to 8 Weeks.

The Gingival Index (GI) showed the highest reduction in Group B (Δ = 0.70) compared to Group A (Δ = 0.43) and Group C (Δ = 0.26), with a statistically significant p-value of 0.021, indicating superior gingival health improvement in Group B. Similarly, the Modified Plaque Bleeding Index (MPBI) demonstrated reductions across all groups, with Groups A and B (both Δ = 0.34) exhibiting greater improvements than Group C (Δ = 0.25). However, the pvalue (0.067) suggests that the differences were not statistically significant. Regarding Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Group B (Δ = 1.70 mm) exhibited the greatest reduction, followed by Group A (Δ = 1.4 mm) and Group C (Δ = 0.7 mm), with a highly significant p-value of 0.012, confirming superior periodontal pocket depth improvement in Groups A and B. Similarly, the Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) showed substantial improvement, with Group B (Δ = 3.6 mm) demonstrating the most attachment gain, followed by Group A (Δ = 2.7 mm) and Group C (Δ = 2.5 mm), with a strong statistical significance (p-value = 0.008), reinforcing the enhanced therapeutic effect of Placentrex® and Blue®M™ compared to SRP alone. Discussion The present randomized controlled clinical trial assessed and compared the efficacy of two novel adjunctive agents—Placental Extract Gel (Placentrex®) and High Concentration Oxygen Oral Gel (Blue®M™)—when used alongside conventional scaling and root planing (SRP) in the management of stage II periodontitis. Overall, the results demonstrated that both adjunctive therapies produced statistically significant improvements in key clinical parameters, namely Gingival Index (GI), Modified Papillary Bleeding Index (MPBI), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), when compared to SRP alone. These findings are in line with prior investigations emphasizing the potential of locally delivered bioactive agents in improving periodontal outcomes. Placentrex®, a human placental extract, showed significant improvements across all clinical parameters, reinforcing its bio-regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. Its rich composition of growth factors, cytokines, and NADPH likely contributed to enhanced tissue healing, angiogenesis, and reduction in proinflammatory mediators like IL-6 and IL-8. Studies have demonstrated that human fibronectin type III peptide, a component of placental extract, effectively promotes cell migration and accelerates wound healing processes. In the periodontal environment, these properties suggest significant potential for placental extract as an adjunctive therapy, particularly in enhancing soft tissue healing following scaling and root planing (SRP). Fluorescent screening techniques have identified the presence of biologically active NADPH within the extract, which plays a crucial role in nitric oxide synthesis—a key mediator in wound healing that aids in debridement of necrotic tissue, bacterial elimination, and reepithelialization.
