Abstract

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical benefits of a new periodontal dressing hereby referred to as the “Professional PerioCream®” Kit, combined with an antimicrobial gum brushing solution when applied after scaling and root planning (SRP) in patients with chronic periodontitis. This study aims alsoto demonstrate that the use of the “Professional PerioCream®” Kit as a post SRP treatment is more advantageous for the patient than no post SRP treatment.
Methods: This study included 29 patients subdivided into two groups. The treated group (n = 20) applied the periodontal dressing directly after SRP followed by 10 days of brushing with an antimicrobial gum brushing solution. The control group (n = 09) was treated only with SRP. Clinical parameters such as Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Periodontal Bleeding Index (PBI) and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) were recorded before SRP and after treatment. A total bacterial count was assessed for periodontopathogenic bacteria including Porphyromonasgingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia (Pi) and Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans (Aa).
Results: The results showed a significant improvement of PI, GI, PBI and CAL after the application of the periodontal dressing and the antimicrobial solution(p < 0.05) in the treated groupwhen compared to the control group. In addition, a significant reduction in bacterial count was noted in 2 treated subjects at day 11.
Conclusion: The data indicates that the PerioCream® periodontal dressing when combined with the gum brushing solution is an effective, safe and well tolerated adjunct treatment to SRP showing better clinical and microbiological parameters than no post SRP treatment at all.
