Evaluation of the Beneficial Clinical Effects of Scaling and Root Planing with 0.2%Clorhexidine over Scaling and Root Planing as a Monotherapy
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Evaluation of the clinical effects of scaling and root planing (SRP) alone or in combination with 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) rinsing. A blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted in 30 subjects with generalized chronic periodontitis. Subjects were assigned to two therapeutic groups: control (SRP + placebo) and test (SRP + CHX up to 42 days post-therapy). Sites (4–6 mm) in the test group showed less plaque accumulation, gingival bleeding, bleeding on probing and a greater reduction in attachment level and probing depth (PD) at 42nd days after treatment. The combination of CHX rinses and SRP leads to better clinical benefits than SRP alone. Keywords:Chlorhexidine, Scaling and Root planing, Placebo
