Placebo Comparator
1% curcumin chip
Placebo chip
Following routine full mouth scaling and root planing within 48 hours, a single chip of 1% curcumin will be placed locally within a single isolated periodontal pocket(the deepest pocket in a patient will be chosen) using a forceps. The patient will be recalled after two weeks for the placement of another chip(second placement)
