Using of alum as mouth wash in recentdentistry was not completely explored and only a few studies was carried out regarding this subject. This study wascarried out to find and document the proposed effectiveness of alum as an intra sulcular irrigant in combination withconventional root planning procedure.Material and method: Fifty two patients with chronic periodontitis were randomly allocated into two groups. The firstgroup treated with conventional root planning procedure using periodontal curette while the second group treatedwith the same conventional procedure followed by continuous intrapocket irrigation with 0.015 Alum solutions. PLI, GI& PD were measured before treatment and two weeks after.Results: Results of this research showed a significant decrease in all study parameters in both groups with nonsignificant differences between the two different modalities of treatment.Conclusion: Alum solution can be a good adjunctive treatment for chronic periodontitis, but more studies needed toexplore this area on short and long terms.Key words: Shab.
