Introduction: The motive of the present study is to comparatively measure the competence and effectiveness of diode laser and chlorhexidine chip as adjuncts to the scaling and root planing procedure, in patients with chronic periodontitis. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of diode laser and chlorhexidine chip before and after scaling and root planing in the management of chronic periodontitis. The objective is to compare the efficacy of chlorhexidine chip and diode laser before and after scaling and root planning on clinical parameters. Study and design: Randomized clinical trial with split mouth design done in the Department of Periodontics and Implantology. Materials and methods: Twenty chronic periodontitis patients having a probing pocket depth of 5mm-7mm on at least one interproximal site in each quadrant of the mouth were selected in the study. After initial treatment, four sites in each patient were randomly subjected to scaling and root planing (control), chlorhexidine chip application (CHX chip group), diode laser (810 nm) decontamination (Diode laser group) or combination of both (Diode laser and chip group). All subjects received a clinical periodontal examination by single examiner who recorded all the variables by manual procedure. Clinical parameters namely Plaque index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were assessed at baseline, one month and three months. Results were statistically analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Post Hoc Analysis. Results: The differences in PPD reduction and CAL gain between control group and CHX chip and combination groups were statistically significant (p<0.05) at three months, whereas, the diode laser group did not show any significant difference from the control group. Conclusion: Within the limitations in the present study, the following conclusions were derived, i.e., chlorhexidine local delivery alone or in combination with diode laser decontamination is effective in improving oral hygiene, reducing gingival inflammation, reducing probing pocket depth and improving clinical attachment levels when used as adjuncts to scaling and root planing in non-surgical periodontal therapy of patients with chronic periodontitis. Keywords: Diode laser decontamination, Local drug delivery, Scaling and root planing.

Objectives: Photodynamic therapy applies to the elimination of target cells by reactive oxygen species using a photosensitizing agent and a sufcient wavelength of light. It is a new, non-invasive approach to preventing infection. It is now an upcoming alternative treatment modality for periodontitis patients as a supplement to traditional scaling and root planing. The objective of the present study was to assess and compare the effect of photodynamic therapy with conventional Scaling and Root planing in patients with chronic periodontitis. Methods: The study included a minimum of 5 non-smoking males with mild to moderate periodontitis. Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, gingival bleeding index, pocket probing depth, clinical attachment level; microbiological parameter – anaerobic bacterial CFU count in subgingival plaque samples and biochemical parameter – GCF SOD levels were evaluated at baseline and 28 days postoperatively. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS (SYSTAT 12) statistical software. The Wilcoxon signed Rank test was used to compare the mean values of various parameters before and after treatment. Results: The results of the study show that all clinical parameters improved from baseline to day 28. Following therapy, the mean levels of the anaerobic bacterial CFU and GCF SOD have decreased dramatically. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest a signicant improvement in clinical, microbiological and Biochemical parameters with the use of PDT as an adjunct to conventional SRP in chronic periodontitis patients

Background: Chronic periodontitis is the most prevalent form of periodontitis with a multifactorial  etiology, dental plaque being the primary etiologic agent. The removal of such etiologic factor through scaling and root planing builds the foundation of treatment. In addition, the use of an antimicrobial adjunct augments elimination of microbes leading to subsequent control of the disease. Chlorhexidine and Metronidazole have been found to be active against several periodontopathogens. In this study, the use of these antimicrobial gels has been made. To evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of subgingival application of 1% Metronidazole, 1% Chlorhexidine and Combination gel when used as an adjunct to non-surgical therapy. Methods: A total of 120 patients, age group 30-60 years with chronic generalized periodontitis were included in the randomized, controlled, double blinded study. The patients were randomly divided into four groups and treated with scaling and root planing along with antimicrobial adjunct. The antimicrobials used were Chlorhexidine, Metronidazole, Combination of Chlorhexidine and Metronidazole, and Placebo. Clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level) were recorded at baseline, 1 month and 3 months. Results: In all the groups, there was a statistically significant reduction in all the clinical parameters at different time intervals. Inter-group comparison with respect to clinical changes showed that Combination gel was the best. Conclusions: Long term, controlled randomized trials with more samples are suggested to further validate the efficacy of these antimicrobial drugs.

Supportive Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal disease encompasses gingivitis and periodontitis and is one of the most common chronic infections in the adult population. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of Spanish propolis extract (EEP) on the effect of the clinical and microbiological parameters as an adjuvant to scaling and root planning in patients undergoing supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). Forty chronic periodontitis patients were randomly assigned into two groups for the treatment. In the control group (n = 20), the sites were treated by scaling and root planing followed by gingival irrigation with physiological saline and in the test group (n = 20), the sites were treated by scaling and root planing followed by subgingival placement of EEP. At baseline (BL), bleeding on probing positive (BOP+) sites with probing pocket (PPD) ≥ 4 mm were defined as study sites. Plaque index, PPD, BOP, clinical attachment level (CAL), and subgingival plaque were evaluated at BL and 1 month later. The results showed a significant clinical improvement (p < 0.05) in the PPD, CAL and BOP+ comparing them with BL and one month after the periodontal treatment and a significant reduction (p < 0.05) for Tannerella forsythensis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia and Treponema denticola in both groups. In addition, the improvement of clinical parameters was observed with subgingival use of EEP and also statistically significant differences between groups were observed (p < 0.05) such as reductions of BOP+ % and reduced counts of T. forsythensis and P. gingivalis, considered as the “key pathogens” for the periodontal diseases. Our results suggest prophylactic and therapeutic potential for EEP against periodontal diseases, improving clinical parameters, reducing gingival bleeding and decreasing bacterial counts of T. forsythensis and P. gingivalis. The subgingival use of EEP represents a promising modality as an adjuvant in periodontal therapy to avoid microbial resistance and other adverse effects.

Purpose: Pomegranates have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Punicalagin (Pomegranate extract) on IL-1β and SOD levels in chronic periodontitis patients. Materials and Methods: 30 patients were included in the study. The sites were randomly divided into control site and test site. Control sites were treated with Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) alone and test sites were treated with punicalagin gel along with SRP. Clinical parameters such as probing pocket depth, Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Gingival Index (GI), Plaque index (PI), Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI) and biochemical markers such as IL-1β and Superoxide Dismutase levels were compared between baseline and at 21 days post therapy. Results: Test sites showed significant differences when compared to control sites in relation to all clinical and biochemical parameters. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, there is an improvement in the clinical parameters with an increase in the anti-oxidant marker level and a decrease in inflammatory marker level when punicalagin gel was placed along with Scaling and Root Planing in patients with Chronic Periodontitis.

AbstractThe current understanding of the pathogenesis of periodontal disease has resulted in adjunctive use of various pharmacologic agents in periodontal therapy. The objective of this investigation was to assess the efficacy of atorvastatin and simvastatin (because of their pleiotropic properties) as an adjunct to dental scaling and root planing (SRP) by local delivery, i.e. placing them subgingivally, in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.Local delivery systems for atorvastatin and simvastatin were prepared in sodium alginate suspension to be administered with calcium chloride solution. Patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis were grouped as group 1, receiving SRP only (control), group 2, receiving SRP with subgingival delivery of 1.2% simvastatin, and group 3, receiving SRP with subgingival delivery of 1.2% atorvastatin. Clinical parameters and interleukin (IL) 1α levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were assessed.All three groups showed significant reductions in clinical parameters and IL-1α levels in the GCF (p<0.05). However, the test groups did not show any statistically significant difference when compared with control.Subgingivally delivered atorvastatin and simvastatin as an adjunct to SRP is efficacious but did not demonstrate any added benefit as compared with SRP alone.

Background: SDF-1α may be involved in the immune defense pathway activated during periodontal disease. Upon development of disease, SDF-1α levels increase and may recruit host defensive cells into sites of inflammation. This suggests that SDF-1α may be a useful biomarker for the identification of periodontal disease progression. Previous studies suggested that diode laser using as an adjunct to SRP in clinical and biochemical benefits. Aims and objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of diode laser on gingival crevicular fluid stromal derived factor – 1 alpha (SDF-1α) level in chronic generalized periodontitis patients.  Materials and methods: A total of 30 patients were divided in two groups based on inclusion and exclusion criteria as follows: Group 1:  15 chronic generalized periodontitis patients who received treatment with scaling and root planing. Group 2: 15 chronic generalized periodontitis patients who received treatment with scaling and root planing and diode laser. Each GCF samples were collected at baseline, 15 days and 21 days after treatment. Clinical parameters like gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were recorded and GCF samples also collected. Results: All the clinical parameters (GI, PPD, CAL) and the concentration of SDF-1α level in GCF were found to be significantly reduced in the group 2 compared to group 1 after 21 days. The mean values of GI, PPD, CAL parameters at different time intervals was found statistically significant in both the groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, we conclude that diode laser used as an adjunct to SRP provides greater improvement in clinical and biochemical benefits over conventional mechanical treatment during medium term of observation.
