A papaína no tratamento da periodontite crônica / Papain in the treatment of chronic periodontitisLuiz Eduardo Monteiro Dias da Rocha 31 March 2010 (has links)
A raspagem subgengival e o alisamento radicular constituem o "padrão ouro" e o tratamento de eleição para a periodontite; porém, é um procedimento difícil de ser executado, que requer um intenso treinamento e que pode expor a dentina, causando hipersensibilidade dentinária pela remoção excessiva de cemento, ou produzir defeitos, como sulcos e ranhuras, além de deixar cálculo residual e não conseguir atingir toda as superfície radicular. Recentemente, um gel a base de papaína e cloramina foi introduzido no mercado (Papacárie), utilizado no tratamento da remoção de dentina cariada. Este gel poderia auxiliar na remoção do cálculo subgengival com menor desgaste do cemento. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar a eficácia e analisar a superfície radicular na utilização de um gel à base de papaína e cloramina, associado ao alisamento radicular, na região subgengival. Após receberem instruções de higiene oral, raspagem supragengival e polimento coronário, 18 pacientes com periodontite crônica, 6 mulheres e 12 homens, com idade média de 51 anos (8) foram tratados num modelo de boca dividida. O tratamento-teste foi constituído pela aplicação do gel na área subgengival por 1 min., seguida pelo alisamento radicular; o tratamento-controle foi constituído pela raspagem subgengival e alisamento radiculares. A terapia foi executada por 3 operadoras e os exames inicial, de 28 dias e 3 meses, foram realizados por um único examinador. Quatro dentes nunca tratados de dois outros pacientes (2 incisivos centrais inferiores e 2 premolares), com indicação para extração, foram submetidos ao tratamento teste e controle e, após a exodontia, analisados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Ao longo dos 3 meses, os resultados demonstraram significativa melhora nos parâmetros clínicos: sangramento à sondagem, profundidade de bolsa e ganho de inserção, tanto no lado-teste, como no lado-controle, principalmente aos 28 dias; mas não foi observada significância estatística quando ambas as formas de terapia foram comparadas. O índice de placa médio permaneceu alto ao longo do estudo. A análise do MEV demonstrou que o tratamento-teste deixou uma maior quantidade de cálculo residual sobre a superfície radicular; porém, áreas livres de cálculo também foram observadas. No tratamento-controle, verificaram-se regiões mais profundas não atingidas pelas curetas, áreas livres de cálculo e um sulco produzido pela cureta. Concluiu-se que tanto o tratamento-teste, como o controle, foram eficazes no tratamento da periodontite crônica nos 3 meses observados. / Although subgingival scaling and root planing are the gold standard for elective treatment of periodontitis, they are difficult procedures to perform. As well as requiring intensive training, they can expose the dentin, causing dentin hypersensitivity by excessive removal of cement, or produce defects such as ridges and grooves, leaving residual calculus, whilst the whole root surface cannot be reached. A papain- and chloramine-based gel (Papacárie) has recently been introduced to remove carious dentin. This gel may help in the removal of subgingival calculus with reduced consumption of cement. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a papain- and chloramine-based gel and analyze the root surface in the region associated with subgingival root planing. After receiving oral hygiene instructions, supragingival scaling and coronary polishing, 18 chronic periodontitis patients (6 women and 12 men with a mean age of 51 years 8) were treated using a split-mouth model. The test treatment was established by applying the gel to the subgingival area for 1 minute, followed by root planing; whilst the control treatment was established by subgingival scaling and root planing. The therapy was performed by 3 operators, examinations initially and after 28 days and 3 months being performed by a single examiner. Four previously untreated teeth (2 lower central incisors and 2 premolars) with indication for extraction in two other patients were treated as test and control and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) following extraction. Although over the 3 months the results showed marked improvement in clinical parameters: bleeding on probing, pocket depth and attachment gain on both test and control sides, especially after 28 days; the difference between the two forms of therapy was not found to be statistically significant. The mean plaque index remained high throughout the study. The SEM analysis showed that the test treatment left a larger amount of residual calculus on the root surface, but areas free of calculus were also observed. In the control treatment, deeper areas unaffected by the scaling and root planing, areas free of calculus and a groove produced by the curette were found. It was concluded that both test and control treatments were effective in the treatment of chronic periodontitis observed over 3 months.

Adjunctive use of essential oils following scaling and root planing: a randomized clinical trialAzad, Mohammad Fallah, Schwiertz, Andreas, Jentsch, Holger F. R. January 2016 (has links)
Background: Hitherto no study has been published on the effect of the adjunctive administration of essential oils following scaling and root planing (SRP). This study describes the effect of a mouthrinse consisting of essential oils (Cymbopogon flexuosus, Thymus zygis and Rosmarinus officinalis) following SRP by clinical and microbiological variables in patients with generalized moderate chronic periodontitis. Methods: Forty-six patients (aged 40–65 years) with moderate chronic periodontitis were randomized in a double-blind study and rinsed their oral cavity following SRP with an essential oil mouthrinse (n = 23) or placebo (n = 23) for 14 days. Probing depth (PD), attachment level (AL), bleeding on probing (BOP) and modified sulcus bleeding index (SBI) were recorded at baseline and after 3 and 6 months. Subgingival plaque was taken for assessment of major bacteria associated with periodontitis. Results: AL, PD, BOP and SBI were significantly improved in both groups after three (p < 0.001) and 6 months (p ≤ 0.015). AL improved significantly better in the test than in the control group after 3 and 6 months (p < 0.001), so did PD after three months in the tendency (p = 0.1). BOP improved better in the test group after 3 months (p = 0.065). Numbers of Treponema denticola (p = 0.044) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (p = 0.029) decreased more in the test than in the control group after 3 months, those of Tannerella forsythia after 6 months (p = 0.039). Prevotella micra (p < 0.001,p = 0.035) and Campylobacter rectus (p = 0.002,p = 0.012) decreased significantly in
both groups after 3 months. Conclusions: The adjunctive use of a mouthrinse containing essential oils following SRP has a positive effect on clinical variables and on bacterial levels in the subgingival biofilm.

Adjuvante systemische Azithromycingabe im Vergleich zu Amoxicillin/Metronidazol bei Scaling and root planing in einer privaten zahnärztlichen Praxis – eine prospektive randomisierte klinische Untersuchung: Adjuvante systemische Azithromycingabe im Vergleich zu Amoxicillin/Metronidazol bei Scaling and root planing in einer privaten zahnärztlichen Praxis – eine prospektive randomisierte klinische UntersuchungBuchmann, Andreas 01 March 2017 (has links)
Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
The objective of the present study is to compare the effect of systemic adjunctive use of azithromycin with amoxicillin/metronidazole to scaling and root planing (SRP) in a clinical study.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Data from 60 individuals with chronic periodontitis were evaluated after full-mouth SRP. Antibiotics were given from the first day of SRP, in the test group (n = 29), azithromycin for 3 days and, in the control group (n = 31), amoxicillin/metronidazole for7 days. Probing depth (PD), attachment level (AL), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded at baseline and after 3 and 12 months. Gingival crevicular fluid was analyzed for matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-8 and interleukin (IL)-1beta levels. Subgingival plaque was taken for assessment of the major bacteria associated with periodontitis.
RESULTS:
In both groups, PD, AL, and BOP were significantly reduced (p < 0.001). A few significant differences between the groups were found; AL and BOP were significantly better in the test than in the control group at the end of the study (p = 0.020 and 0.009). Periodontopathogens were reduced most in the test group.
CONCLUSIONS:
A noninferiority of the treatment with azithromycin in comparison with amoxicillin/metronidazole can be stated. The administration of azithromycin could be an alternative to the use of amoxicillin/metronidazole adjunctive to SRP in patients with moderate or severe chronic periodontitis; however, a randomized placebo-controlled multicenter study is needed.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE:
Application of azithromycin as a single antibiotic for 3 days might be considered as an additional adjunctive antibiotic to SRP in selected patients.:Inhaltsverzeichnis

Vergleich systemischer antibiotischer und lokaler antiseptischer Zusatzmedikation in der Therapie der generalisierten aggressiven ParodontitisKaner, Dogan 14 September 2005 (has links)
Die systemische Verabreichung von Amoxizillin/Metronidazol (AM) als Zusatz zu Scaling/Root planing (SRP) in der Behandlung der generalisierten Aggressiven Parodontitis (gAP) führt zu guten klinischen und mikrobiologischen Ergebnissen. Die lokale antiseptische Zusatzmedikation mit Chlorhexidin in einem Controlled-Delivery-Device (PerioChip, PC) verbessert das Ergebnis von SRP in der Behandlung der Chronischen Parodontitis. Die Anwendung in der Behandlung der gAP ist bisher noch nicht untersucht worden. Ziele: Der Effekt von PC als Zusatz zu SRP in der Therapie der gAP wurde untersucht. Die Wirksamkeit wurde mit der Standardmedikation AM verglichen. Neben klinischen Parametern wurde die Konzentration des Entzündungsmarkers Calprotectin in der Sulkusflüssigkeit (SF) bestimmt. Material/Methode: 36 gAP-Patienten (18/Gruppe, 35+/-4 Jahre) wurden mit SRP und randomisiert entweder mit AM oder PC behandelt. Zur Baseline, 3 und 6 Monate nach SRP wurden die klinischen Parameter PD, CAL, BoP, Pus erhoben sowie SF-Proben tiefer und flacher Referenzstellen entnommen. Die Calprotectin-Konzentration in der SF wurde mittels ELISA bestimmt. Ergebnisse: 3 Monate nach SRP zeigten beide Gruppen signifikante Verbesserungen der klinischen Parameter, wobei noch keine Unterschiede zwischen den Gruppen bestanden. Während die AM-Gruppe stabil blieb, verschlechterten sich mehrwurzelige Zähne und tiefe Referenzstellen der PC-Gruppe wieder signifikant. Nach 6 Monaten wies die AM-Gruppe signifikant mehr CAL-Gewinn und PD-Reduktion auf. Pus war nur noch in der PC-Gruppe nachweisbar. Die Calprotectin-Konzentration war zwar in beiden Gruppen signifikant gesunken, Unterschiede zwischen den Gruppen bestanden jedoch aufgrund hoher Standardabweichungen nicht. Schlussfolgerung: AM zeigte eine bessere klinische Wirksamkeit und Langzeitstabilität als PC. Aufgrund großer interindividueller Variabilität spiegelte die SF-Konzentration von Calprotectin die klinischen Unterschiede nicht wider. / Adjunctive systemic administration of amoxicillin/metronidazole (AM) in generalized aggressive periodontitis (gAP) therapy results in good clinical and microbiological outcome. Adjunctive use of chlorhexidine within a controlled-delivery-device (PerioChip, PC) improves the outcome of scaling/root planing (SRP) in chronic periodontitis therapy. Its effect in the treatment of gAP has not been evaluated. Aims: The effect of adjunctive use of PC in the treatment of gAP was investigated. Efficacy of PC was compared to the standard treatment with AM. Clinical parameters and the concentration of the inflammation marker calprotectin within gingival crevice fluid (GCF) were measured. Material/methods: 36 gAP patients (18/group, 35+/-4 years) were treated by SRP either AM or PC. Clinical parameters PD, CAL, BoP and Pus were recorded at baseline, 3 and 6 months after therapy. GCF was sampled at deep and shallow reference sites and the concentration of calprotectin was measured by ELISA. Results: Both groups showed significant improvements of clinical parameters 3 months after SRP, however differences between groups were not significant. While the AM-group remained clinically stable, multirooted teeth and deep reference sites of the PC-group showed significant deterioration again. 6 months after SRP, the AM-group showed significant more CAL gain and PD reduction. Pus was detectable in the PC group only. The concentration of calprotectin in GCF had significantly decreased in both groups; however differences between groups were not significant due to high standard deviations. Conclusion: AM showed higher efficacy in terms of clinical treatment outcome and long-term stability than PC. Due to high interindividual variability, GCF-concentrations of calprotectin failed to reflect clinical differences.
