Ozone versus chlorhexidine in the treatment of chronic periodontitis

Dr. Renu Verma, Dr. Maya S. Indurkar

Abstract :

Background: study was to compare and evaluate the effects of Subgingival Irrigation with Ozonated water and 0.2% Chlorhexidine as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the improvement of periodontal health in patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. Material & Method: A randomized, split–mouth design was performed in 22 subjects. Each half (right and left) of the oral cavity was randomly assigned into 2 groups (A and B) of 22 subjects. After performing scaling and root planing, subgingival Irrigation with either OZ or CHX was performed once in a week for 6 weeks. Clinical parameters were recorded and subgingival plaque samples were collected, at baseline and at 6 weeks. Result: When compå the indices of individual groups at baseline and 6 weeks, it was seen that there was statistically significant reduction in the mean values of PI, GI, PPD, CAL and in all the four periodontal pathogens which were Aa, Pg, Pi, and Tf in both the groups (A and B). The differences were statistically nonsignificant when comparisons were made between group A and group B. Conclusion: ozonated water can be used in treating chronic periodontitis patients as it is equally effective as chlorhexidine in subgingival irrigation as an adjunct to SRP.
