Abstract Background The aim of this triple-blind placebo-controlled parallel-arm randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the effects Lactobacillus rhamnosus SP1 or azithromycin as an adjunct scaling and root planing (SRP) in patients with stage III periodontitis. Methods Forty-seven systemically healthy participants periodontitis were recruited. Following SRP, randomly assigned one three trea...

Background: Immediate implant is a subtype of that placed following tooth extraction within the socket without further delay. These implants are known to preserve alveolar bone and minimize total number surgical interventions in patient. 4 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) augments nonsurgical periodontal using antibacterial mechanisms. PTD can be more effective conjunction with scaling root planing (...

AIM Curcumin has proven properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and it also accelerates wound healing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme, in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), and the impact of nonsurgical treatment on the antioxidant profile using 0.2% curcumin strip as local drug delivery. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of adjunctive photodynamic therapy (pdt) in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis. materials and methods. a total of 24 patients with clinical diagnosis of aggressive periodontitis received scaling and root planing (srp) for periodontal treatment. in a split-mouth design study, the teeth of one quadrant of each arch...

The objective of this study was to examine potential benefits of using laser therapy for secular decontamination in conjunction with scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. The study was performed on 173 teeth in 14 patients in a split-mouth design, one side received scaling and root planing followed by laser therapy using a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser with an ablativ...

The aim of the present study was to compare effects phenothiazine photosensitizers methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue-O (TBO) and butyl (BuTB) in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), as adjuvant scaling root planing (SRP) treatment experimental periodontitis (EP) rats. 120 Wistar rats underwent ligation around lower left molar. After seven days, ligature removed. animals were separated i...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of systemic azithromycin as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of Porphyromonas gingivalis-associated chronic periodontitis. METHODS Twenty-nine patients harbouring P. gingivalis were randomized into test and placebo groups. Test patients received SRP plus 500 mg of azithromycin per day (3 days), and con...

AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of moxifloxacin (MOX) in one-stage scaling and root planing (SRP) in treating generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty subjects were randomly allocated to two treatment groups. The two treatment groups consisted of SRP combined with systemically administered MOX at the do...

Clindamycin, a lincosamide antibiotic, has been under-recognized as an antimicrobial agent for use in dentistry. The aim of the present work was to evaluate clinical efficacy of 2% clindamycin gel in addition to the basic mechanical periodontal therapy. At baseline, scaling and root planing (SRP) was performed at all 50 subjects (control group and test group). Clindamycin gel was applied after ...

PURPOSE The study was aimed at investigating changes in periodontal parameters and superoxide dismutase activity triggered by root surface debridement with and without micronutrient supplementation in postmenopausal women. METHODS Forty-three postmenopausal chronic periodontitis patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=22) were provided periodontal treatment in the form of scaling an...
