This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two different eugenol-free periodontal dressing materials-Ora-Aid (a hydrophilic polymer) and Coe-Pak (a zinc oxide-based paste)-following non-surgical periodontal treatment (scaling and root planing, SRP) in patients with Stage 3, Grade A periodontitis. The study utilizes a split-mouth design to analyze clinical periodontal parameters, patient comfort, and microbiological changes over a 3-month period.
