The present study was conducted with the aim to determine the effect of curcumin gel along with SRP in chronic gingivitis cases. Material and methods: The present prospective study consisted of 30 subjects as cases and controls respectively. The study was conducted in the department of periodontics of the hospital. Scaling was performed by piezoelectric scaler by trained personnel. After, thorough clearance curcumin gel was locally applied amongst the cases. All the patients were given same postoperative instructions and medicaments. Follow up was performed after 30 days and the values of gingival index were noted. All the data thus obtained was arranged in a tabulated form and analysed using SPSS software. Student t test was used for statistical analysis and probability value of less than 0.05 was regarded as significant. Results: The present study consisted of 30 patients as cases and 30 as controls. The mean age of the subjects was 36.42+/5.22 years. The mean value at day 0 amongst the cases and the controls was 2.61+/-0.54 and 2.65+/-0.66 respectively. The mean value at day 30 amongst the cases and the controls was 1.90+/-0.38 and 1.45+/-0.45 respectively. On applying student t test there was a significant improvement amongst the cases compared to the controls on Day 30.
