Clinical Trial Summary

Evaluation of the clinical effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) adjunctively to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of severe case of chronic periodontitis.


Clinical Trial Description

Materials and Methods: In 20 patients diagnosed with severe generalized chronic periodontitis (pockets>7mm) with bleeding on probing, SRP was rendered in all pockets. Additionally, five consecutive hyperbaric sessions were administered in 10 patients after random allocation (SRP+HBOT). Clinical parameters were assessed at baseline up to 6 months: plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing, probing depth, clinical attachment level and BANA test.

Results: SRP+HBOT resulted in greater probing reduction and attachment gain than SRP alone 3 months after treatment (p<0.001). The BANA test was negative after 1 week only for sites in the SRP+HBOT group (p<0.05). However SRP+HBOT failed to show a significant difference from SRP group after 3 months were all BANA sites became negative (p>0.05).

Conclusion: These preliminary data suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy had a short-term beneficial effect on pocket reduction and bacterial elimination, and may be considered a potential therapy option to improve the clinical outcomes of scaling in severe cases of chronic periodontitis. ;
