Introduction: Gingival inflammation, periodontal pocket formation, destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone resulting in mobile teeth accompanied with apical migration of the junctional epithelium onto the root surface are the main characteristics of periodontitis. The aim of periodontal therapy is to remove the bacterial plaque and all the factors that favor its accumulation. Scaling and root planning (SRP) is one of the most commonly utilized procedures in the treatment of periodontal diseases but it cannot eradicate subgingival bacteria and good periodontal health cannot be achieved. Therefore, local drug delivery agents like curcumin into the pockets via a syringe or irrigating device has been shown to be effective against subgingival flora. Materials and methods: The present study was a randomized split-mouth study including 10 subjects aged 25-40 years. After meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria the subjects were divided into two groups. Group 1(Test): Participants receiving SRP were followed by local delivery of curcumin into the pocket at the baseline visit. Group II (Control): Participants receiving only SRP. The parameters were recorded at baseline and 6 weeks. Results: Statistically significant (p <0.01) results were obtained in both the groups between baseline and 6 weeks and between the groups at 6 weeks. Conclusion: From the present study it can be concluded that although SRP reduced the periodontal parameters and has a beneficial effect in patients but using curcumin as an adjunct to SRP resulted in better clinical outcomes as it has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-microbial properties.
