Comparison of Efficiency of Ozone and Chlorhexidine Subgingival Irrigation in Orthodontic Patients for Controlling Gingival Inflammation.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Ozone therapy is gaining wider acceptance in dentistry. Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties have been recognized in periodontal patients. So, the aim of the study was to compare the clinical effects of subgingival irrigation with Ozonated water to Chlorhexidine solution on gingivitis in orthodontic patients and also to correlate the clinical effects with the inflammatory marker- lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH) activity in GCF. A double-blind clinical study was conducted on 30 subjects for 28 days. A split-mouth design was used in this study for subgingival irrigation. Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probing pocket depth and LDH enzyme activity were measured at baseline followed by subgingival irrigation with 0.01 mg/l of ozonated water on right maxillary quadrant and 0.02% of chlorhexidine solution on left maxillary quadrants. These parameters were again assessed on 14th and 28th day. Results showed a significant( P<0.01) reduction of all the clinical parameters and GCF levels of LDH enzyme activity after subgingival irrigation with both. However when compared between the ozone and chlorhexidine irrigated side, ozonated water showed a highly significant reduction of clinical parameters and LDH activity. Subgingival ozone irrigation can be an effective method to reduce gingival inflammation in orthodontic patients.
