Full-mouth Periodontal Debridement and Metronidazole Gel in Patients With Chronic Periodontitis

Chronic Periodontitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Full-mouth Periodontal Debridement With or Without Adjunctive Metronidazole Gel in Smoking Patients With Chronic Periodontitis

Clinical Trial Summary

Hypothesis: metronidazole gel applied topically after periodontal debridement in smokers volunteers could improve clinical parameters when compared to metronidazole tablets + periodontal debridement. Method: 30 smokers with chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned into 3 groups: periodontal debridement combined with 3 g placebo gel; periodontal debridement combined with daily topical application of 3 g metronidazole benzoate gel (15%); and periodontal debridement combined with a daily single dose of 750 mg metronidazole. Clinical parameters evaluated were visible plaque, gingival bleeding, probing pocket depth and relative attachment level.

Clinical Trial Description

Background. The benefit of adjunctive metronidazole on periodontal procedure in smokers with chronic periodontitis (CP) is uncertain. The authors compared the effect of metronidazole (Mtz) on full-mouth periodontal debridement (PD= 1 hour of ultrasonic calculus/plaque removal) in smokers with CP.

Methods. This pilot study involved 30 Individuals (having at least six teeth with a clinical attachment loss of ≥ 5 mm and probing pocket depth (PPD) of ≥5 mm) that were randomly assigned into three groups (n=10): 1) PD plus 3 g of placebo gel daily topical application 2) PD plus daily topical application of 3 g of 15% Mtz benzoate gel; and 3) PD plus a daily single dose of 750 mg Mtz (Flagyl®). Clinical parameters visible plaque index (VPI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), relative attachment level (RAL) and PPD; and the quantitative analysis (real-time PCR) of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia were assessed baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months after PD. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
