This study is designed to evaluate a new method to improve healing in patients with gum disease (periodontitis). A total of 42 adults with gum pockets deeper than 5 millimeters will take part. All patients will undergo flap surgery, which is a standard treatment for gum disease. Half of the patients will also receive an additional treatment with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), made from their own blood, together with root surface cleaning using EDTA gel. Patients will be followed for 6 months. The study will measure changes in gum pocket depth, gum attachment to teeth, and healing.
