Periodontal disease is one of the most commonly encountered dental and oral diseases. Periodontitis is a type of periodontal disease characterized by infection and inflammation of the structures and tissues surrounding the teeth, leading to bone loss. This can significantly reduce quality of life, making optimal management essential. Treatment of periodontitis and chronic periodontitis is determined based on disease severity, ranging from scaling and root planing for mild cases to surgical procedures such as flap surgery for severe cases. This study evaluated the benefits of topical aloe vera administration for postoperative wound healing following periodontal flap surgery in patients with chronic periodontitis.
