Abstract :

 Scaling is used as non surgical approach in treatment of chronic periodontitis, in which distilled water acts as an irrigant, having non–specific action

of flushing the pocket contents without other beneficial effect. Recently the adjunct use of various subgingival irrigation agents were suggestive
which may effectively help to reduce deep pockets and qualitative flushing of pocket content. Hence the aim of the present study is to compare the
efficacy of 0.2% of ozonated water & 0.02% chlorhexidine water as an irrigant along with SRP in the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients.
Materials & Methods: In this study, the chronic periodontitis patients were studied for two groups for the mentioned irrigants. The pre–treatment
& post–treatment parameters were recorded (OHIS index, periodontal pocket depth, Clinical attachment loss, Microbial count)
Results: Results were expressed as mean±SD and proportions as percentages. Intragroup comparisons were made by paired t–test and unpaired ttest
for intergroup comparisons. For all the tests, a P–value of 0.05 or less was considered for statistical significance. The intragroup comparison
showed improvement in all the parameters in both the groups however ozonated water group showed statistically significant difference in all
clinical and microbiological parameters, except it showed similar results for gram negative bacilli in both groups.
Conclusion: The present clinical study suggestive of the adjunctive use of antimicrobial irrigants such as 0.02% of chlorhexidine & 0.2% of
ozonated water to SRP can provide additional clinical benefits compared to SRP alone, it was found that ozonated water showed more beneficial
results with respective to (PI), (GI), (PPD), (CAL) parameters and microbial count. Further studies can be possible to confirm these findings with
varying concentrations of mentioned irrigants in SRP in the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients.
