In Group I (test group, 40 sites), biodegradable cefixime strips were inserted into sites with probing pocket depths (PPDs) \u22655 mm following SRP at baseline. In Group II (control group, 40 sites), placebo strips were inserted into sites with similar pocket depths post-SRP. Clinical parameters, including plaque index, gingival index (GI), PPD, and clinical attachment level (CAL), were recorded at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months posttreatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both groups demonstrated improvement in all clinical parameters over time. However, the test group (SRP + cefixime strip) showed significantly greater reductions in PPD and GI scores and a higher gain in CAL, compared to the control group (SRP + placebo strip) at 1 and 3 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Local delivery of biodegradable cefixime strips as an adjunct to SRP is an effective and safe therapeutic approach for the management of generalized chronic periodontitis.
