Abstract

Purpose: The current study aimed to examine the clinical effects of ginger supplementation on type 2 diabetics with stage 2 and stage 3 periodontitis, specifically probing depth, recession, and clinical attachment loss. Materials and Methods: Thirty people took part in the study. Two groups were formed from the participants (group A, had only non-surgical periodontal treatment, and group B, received non-surgical periodontal treatment in addition to a ginger supplement). Results: Between baseline and 12 weeks, there was a statistically significant decrease in each group's maximum probing depth and clinical attachment loss. Between baseline and 8 weeks, there was no statistically significant difference in recession within each group. But between baseline and 12 weeks, there was a significant decline. No statistically significant difference between the study and control groups. Conclusion: The adjunct use of ginger supplements in diabetic periodontitis patients as host modulation improved the treatment outcomes when used with non-surgical periodontal treatment.
