Introduction: Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent global chronic disorders. Pathology affecting the structure surrounding teeth results in inflammation initiated by bacterial aggregation and alteration in their profile. conventional periodontal therapeutics has focused on the control of etiologic agents, thereby promoting healing, repair of tissues delivery of therapeutic agents into the pocket act as drug reservoirs which could alter pathogenic flora and promote its repair and wound healing. Aim of the study: Evaluate the effect of locally delivered placenta extract gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planning in the treatment of periodontal pocket. Methodology: 30 patients with grade B stage II periodontitis will be selected from the Faculty of Dentistry Suez Canal University outpatient clinic and divided into 2 equal groups. Group I: will have scaling and root planning. Group II: will have scaling and root planning with placenta extract gel locally delivered in the periodontal pocket. All clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment) and lab investigations (vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor) will be measured at 0,1 and 3 months. All results will be tabulated and statistically analyzed using the SPSS program.
