Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is an immune-inflammatory disease of the tissues surrounding the teeth. Various treatment modalities like mechanical debridement and use of antimicrobials have been followed in such conditions. Introduction of local drug delivery system in the periodontal pocket is a promising therapeutic modality for achieving better clinical outcomes when used as an adjunct to conventional non-surgical periodontal therapy. It was in the year 1979, Dr. Max Goodson et al first proposed the concept of controlled delivery in the treatment of periodontitis. So, the present study was designed to evaluate the clinical effects of topical application of Xanthan gel (chlorhexidine coadjuvant) in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis. The present study was designed to evaluate the clinical effects of topical application of Xanthan gel (chlorhexidine coadjuvant) in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was carried out on 5 patients (Aged 25 - 40) with aggressive periodontitis. They received root planning and curettage alone on one side and Xanthan gel (Chlorhexidine coadjuvant) on the other side. Each individual was subjected to the following measurements: (1) Evaluation of the clinical parameters pre- and post-treatment to detect the outcome of the treatment modality or at 1, 3 and 6 months were obtained for microbiological evaluation. RESULTS 1. Xanthan gel delivered locally into periodontal disease sites reduced all subgingival bacteria, and 2. Both treatments and modalities led to statistically significant reduction in microbiological counts as well as clinical parameters applied. CONCLUSION The results showed that syringe of Xanthan gel with root planning and curettage and levelling of the root surface resulted in a greater improvement in periodontal clinical indices than root planning alone.
