It is generally agreed that gram negative anaerobic germs residing in periodontal vacuities are responsible for periodontitis. Systemic antibiotic therapy is employed in treating this diseased condition, but it has limited due to the lack of accessibility to periodontopathic organisms in the periodontal pocket. Different modes of local delivery devices are developed to deliver the drug locally into periodontal pits. These controlled intra-pocket devices also help in the maintenance of therapeutic drug concentration for the desired period of time. The goal of this research was to fabricate controlled release dental films, loaded with satranidazole as an antimicrobial agent which consists of a common biodegradable polymer and a co-polymer in different proportions for targeted delivery of drug. About 6 formulations of satranidazole dental inserts were prepared with gelatin as the principle biodegradable polymer and sodium alginate as a co-polymer in different ratios. Formulated periodontal films were then crosslinked with 2% v/v glutaraldehyde for 2 and 4 hours respectively inorder to upgrade the formulations for extended release. The dental inserts produced in such a manner were evaluated for their thickness uniformity, folding endurance, weight uniformity, % drug content, surface pH, swelling index, in-vitro drug release, in-vitro permeation, in-vitro antibacterial activity and stability studies. Based on these findings best film was selected as the one which is fabricated with gelatin and sodium alginate (1:1 ratio) i.e. F2 (2 hour crosslinked strip), since it can deliver the drug over MIC in each day of therapy and it is having an adequate drug content and other necessitate film characteristics. The kinetic models of the formulation F2 (2 hour crosslinked film) was then found and it denoted that the formulation undergoes zero order release kinetics and model fits to Higuchi which is reflective of the diffusion mechanism of World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research SJIF Impact Factor 7.523 Volume 6, Issue 11, 1010-1033.

It occurs at all stages of the life cycle, but is more prevalent in pregnant women and young children. On an average, globally 50% of the anemia is assumed to be attributed to iron deficiency. It is very common in rural population due to poverty and inadequate diet. Iron deficiency is primarily caused due to dietary insufficiency; therefore, this study aims to explore locally available dietary iron sources. The central hypothesis of the study being a low cost, locally available and culturally acceptable dietary substance supplementing adequate iron requirement will have a better chance of compliance in the population.
