Keerti Sharma, Karthik Krishna M

Abstract :

Background: The present study was designed to evaluate the clinical effects of topical application of chlosite (chlorhexidine gel) in the management of aggressive periodontitis. Methods: This study was carried out on 5 patients (aged 25–50) with aggressive periodontitis. They were received scaling and root planning (SRP) alone in one side and SRP plus CHLOSITE (Chlorhexidine gel) in 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 1,3,6 months were obtained for microbiological evaluation. Results: 1) CHLOSITE gel delivered locally into periodontal disease sites reduced all subgingival bacteria and 2) Both treatment and modality led to a highly statistically significant reduction in microbiological counts as well as clinical parameters applied.
