Comparative evaluation of the efficacy of glycine powder air polishing with scaling and root planing and with fluoride prophypaste as an adjunctive to surgical periodontal therapy- A clinical study
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Specialities - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction The use of the glycine powder airpolishing GPAP technique may simplify periodic subgingival instrumentation and may be an alternative to the conventional techniques of subgingival biofilm removal This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of glycine powder air polishing as an additional approach to non surgical periodontal therapy in moderate to deep periodontal pockets with regard to its clinical effectiveness and bactericidal abilitiesMaterials and Methods A total of 20 sites with moderate to deep periodontal pockets were included in the study The subjects were allocated into two groups viz the test group and the control group randomly using toss of a coin 10 sites each with moderate to deep periodontal pockets were treated with scaling and root planing glycine powder air polishing Test Group and scaling and root planing prophyhpaste Control Group Clinical parameters such as gingival index GI plaque index PI pocket probing depth were recorded PPDResults In test group PI GI PPD significantly reduced after 21 days followup compared to baseline Pocket probing depth reduced from 57 mm at baseline to approx 12 mm at 21 days Similarly PI GI PPD CAL significantly reduced in control group also after 21 days followup compared to baseline Pocket probing depth reduced from 57 mm at baseline to approx 34 mm at 21 daysConclusion It is concluded that GPAP as an additional approach to nonsurgical periodontal treatment may be beneficial in the shortterm improvement of subclinical periodontal inflammation and it was effective in decreasing inflammation and pocket probig depth in chronic periodontitis patients and can be successfully used as an adjunct to SRP in routine to nonsurgical periodontal therapyKeywords Glycine powder air polishing Prophypaste Nonsurgical periodontal therapy Biofilm Bactericidal
