Chronic Periodontitis Wth Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparative Evaluation Of 1.2% Atorvastatin and 1.2% Simvastatin Gel Local Drug Delivery And Redelivery In Chronic Periodontitis Subjects With Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
Statins are specific competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, known for its hypolipidemic actions, possessing biologically significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, exerts anabolic effects on bone through expression of BMP - 2, have paved way in periodontal regeneration. The present study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of subgingivally delivered 1.2% Atorvastatin (ATV) and 1.2% Simvastatin (SMV) gel local drug delivery and redelivery systems as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in chronic periodontitis (CP) subjects with diabetes mellitus(DM).

Clinical and radiographic measurements were taken at baseline, at 6 months and respective gels were redelivered subgingivally in respective groups . Measurements were repeated again at 3 months i.e. 9 months from baseline. ;
