Many dentists have been surprised by recent media claims of periodontal benefits with a purportedly revolutionary dietary supplement. The research literature on coenzyme Q10's periodontal effects does not extend to the international English language dental literature, which perhaps explains the surprise. A review of the available literature does not give any ground for the claims made, and selected papers are discussed to show that there is actually some evidence that coenzyme Q10 has no place…

An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Coenzyme Q10 Gel in Management of Patients with Chronic Periodontitis (II inter group comparison)
TLDR
The clinical parameters significantly improved in the phase of periodontal treatment, indicating that CoQ10 opens new treatment options by improving the host response to disease activity.
Placement of Sticky Bone™ in Patients with Generalized Periodontitis Previously Treated with Coenzyme Q10.
TLDR
Clinically, it shows that CoQ10 has no role to play in the cases of periodontitis and patients should be taken up for periodontal flap surgery after complete scaling and root planning (SRP), if the pocket does not resolve.
Role of coenzyme Q10 as an antioxidant and bioenergizer in periodontal diseases
TLDR
Ubiquinol (reduced form coenzyme Q10) serves as an endogenous antioxidant which increases the concentration of CoQ10 in the diseased gingiva and effectively suppresses advanced periodontal inflammation.
