Introduction: Topical chemotherapeutic agents used in treatment of chronic periodontitis are antimicrobial agents which help in plaque control. The present study evaluates the efficacy of ornidazole gel with gold standard chlorhexidine gel when used as adjunct to scaling and root planing. Material and Methods: 90 patients diagnosed as chronic periodontitis, having pocket depth ?3 mm and in good systemic health were selected by systematic sampling method and divided in 3 groups. In all 3 groups scaling and root planing was done. In group A, Ornidazole gel application was done while in Group B Chlorhexidine gel application was done while Group C was control group. Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index (GI) were recorded at baseline, 1 and 3 months while Probing pocket depth (PPD) and Clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline and 3 months. Results: PI and GI showed significant reduction in all three groups after 1 and 3 months compared to baseline. On inter group comparison, both PI and GI showed no significant difference in reduction of scores after 1 month and 3 months (p>0.05). PPD and CAL values showed statistically significant reduction after 3 months when compared to baseline values. The intergroup comparison revealed statistically significant reduction in group A and B compared to control group C (p<0.05). Conclusion: Ornidazole showed comparable efficacy as Chlorhexidine when used as adjunct to scaling and root planing for treatment of chronic periodontitis.

Introduction: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that attacks the periodontal tissue comprises the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone caused mainly by plaque bacteriophage or other specific dominant type of bacteria. The purpose of this study was to determine the therapeutic effect of clinical application of mangosteen peel extract gel as adjunctive therapy scaling and root planing in patients with chronic periodontitis. This research was expected to developed new treatment in the field of dentistry, particularly in periodontics, which can be used as supporting material for the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Methods: Quasi-experimental research, split mouth, with as many as 14 chronic periodontitis patients. Mangosteen rind was prepared to be formed into extract gel, dried at room temperature, then the dried samples were macerated by using ethanol, then evaporated and decanted for 3 days until obtained condensed extract. The samples were patients with chronic periodontitis in at least 2 teeth with pockets ≥ 5 mm. Clinical parameters of pocket depth, gingival bleeding, and clinical epithelial attachment level were measured at baseline and 1 month after treatment. Analysis of data using the t-test. Results: The comparison of average gap ratio of pockets depth, gingival index, gingival bleeding and epithelium attachment levels, before and after treatment showed significant differences, such as in the test and control sides. Conclusion: The mangosteen rind gel as adjunctive therapy for scaling and root planing is able to reduce pockets depth, gingival index, and gingival bleeding, and improve clinical epithelial attachment.
