The study's objective was to develop and evaluate a dental gel that uses turmeric and clove oil as its primary component to treat periodontitis. Because of its wide range of antibacterial action against various periodontal infections, clove oil is used in the treatment of periodontitis. Dental gel is made with the help of carbopol 934, methyl and propyl parabens as preservatives, polyethylene glycol as a co-solvent, clove oil and turmeric as a therapeutic agent, and the required quantity of distilled water as a carrier. The symptoms of gingivitis, a moderate stage of the disease, include gingival edge redness, swelling, and slight bleeding. The accumulation of supragingival plaque is the cause of it. Gingivitis is associated with a change in the microbiota from a more Gram-negative to a more Gram-positive anaerobic flora. The more severe kind of periodontal disease known as periodontitis results in the separation of the periodontal ligament that supports the tooth and the resorption of the alveolar bone. Clove oil and turmeric was added to a dental gel to aid in the treatment of periodontal diseases. Next, the physical properties of the gel were evaluated, including its drug content, spreadability, extrusion ability, and in vitro antibacterial activity.
