Clinical and Microbiological Evaluation of Povidone-Iodine 10% as an Adjunct to Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy in Chronic Periodontitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

CONCLUSION: The results of this study were unable to show a significant clinical benefit from the adjunctive use of 10% PVP-I in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. However, the microbiological benefit observed with the use of this substance at 30 days might indicate a role for PVP-I in periodontal care, possibly through its repeated application during supportive therapy.
