Periodontal packs are primarily used for their antimicrobial, haemostatic, and splinting properties. While they provide a good antimicrobial environment and can aid in haemostasis, they are not typically used for pain elimination. The main purpose of a periodontal pack is to deliver medication directly to the periodontal pocket and help stabilize the gum tissue around the teeth. Pain relief is generally managed through other means such as analgesics or local anesthetics.

The circular fibers are part of the gingivodental group and are located in the marginal gingiva, encircling the teeth. In contrast, the alveolar crest, transseptal, and horizontal fibers are part of the periodontal ligament.

The ideal thickness for a graft is typically between 1.0 to 1.5 mm to ensure adequate healing and integration.

Antihistamines are not typically associated with significant effects on periodontal therapy. In contrast, propranolol (a beta-blocker), sodium warfarin (an anticoagulant), and corticosteroids can all influence periodontal health and treatment outcomes.

When electrosurgery is correctly employed to prepare gingival tissues for making impressions, it removes a thin layer of crevicular gingival tissue.
