Before And After

Moderate and severe periodontitis represents a challenge in the non-surgical periodontal therapy. Due to the lack of evidence regarding the antimicrobial effectiveness of 940 nm diode laser in periodontal treatment, this study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) photolysis performed with 940 nm diode laser in the treatment of moderate and severe periodontitis. Twenty-five patients with 100 teeth were selected for this pilot study. The test teeth were randomly assigned to one of the four treatment groups: Group 1: scaling and root planning (SRP) (control group); and the following experimental groups: Group 2: H2O2; Group 3: 940 nm diode laser therapy; Group 4: 940 nm diode laser therapy and H2O2. Clinical examinations, like probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were performed before and after the treatment. The microbiological evaluation, effectuated before and after the treatment, included nine periodontal bacteria species and investigated by means of real-time PCR assay. The clinical and bacterial differences in the tested groups, was assessed between control group and the other three experimental groups, as well as between the experimental groups. The total bacteria load was reduced for all four studied groups. Group 4 (diode laser + H2O2) showed significant bacterial reduction of the major periodontal bacteria like Pg., Tf., Td., Pi., Pm., Fn (p[0.001) than the other 3 groups (p]0.001). Also the periodontal clinical parameters, like PD, CAL and BOP showed a significant reduction after the photolysis of H2O2 with the 940 nm diode laser (p[0.001). Differences between tested groups showed a significant beneficial results in regard to Group 4.It is suggested that the photoactivation of H2O2 with the 940 nm diode laser can be used successfully in adjunctive to the non-surgical periodontal treatment as a bactericidal tool.

Solidago Chilensis

The oral mucositis is an adverse event of radiotherapy and/or high toxicity chemotherapy. The Solidago chilensis (Arnica) has been used for its antiseptic, analgesic, healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the uses of Arnica for oral mucositis prevention in patients submitted to radiotherapy for head and neck tumors treatment and/or high toxicity chemotherapy. Methodology: The determination of the cytotoxicity index of the aqueous extract was determined in vitro. The oral mucosa was evaluated in days 0, 10 and 14 of patients in the groups: treated with lasertherapy (L, n=18), treated with Arnica (A, n=24) and, treated with lasertherapy associated with Arnica (LA, n=4). It was considered significant p<0.05. Results: It was determined IC50=90,74 μg/mL of Arnica’s aqueous extract in SCC-4 cells. The development of oral mucositis was associated with the type of treatment for oral mucositis prevention: L, A, and LA (χ2 = 24,72, p<0.0001). The level of oral mucositis had significant interaction with the type of prevention treatment [F(2) = 9.545, p<0.0001] and, within 14 days [F(2) = 11.995, p<0.0001]. Conclusions: The results obtained suggest which the use of Solidago chilensis (Arnica) can be an important therapeutic option for treatment with low-level laser therapy for oral mucositis prevention in patients submitted of head and neck radiotherapy and/or high toxicity chemotherapy.
