Paired “t” test: p < 0.05 is significant. Group A: treatment mode SRP +DOX. Group B: treatment mode SRP. Clinical parameters showed significant results in Group A (SRP +DOX). In Group A-Probing depth reduction, Plaque Index and Gingival index reduction was 68%, 85% and 90% respectively, which was significant than Group B- Probing depth reduction, Plaque Index and Gingival index reduction was 50%, 71% and 71% respectively.
