Use of Ozone Gel as an Antimicrobial in Treatment of Periodontitis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that destroys tooth-supporting structures through oral bacterial plaque. ozone gel's act as an antimicrobial effect as an adjunct to conventional periodontal therapy (scaling and root planning). exposure of bacteria to ozone leads to the oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins that comprise the bacterial cell membrane. Ozone gel has the potential to play an anti-inflammatory role in the treatment of periodontitis by monitoring both clinical and biological parameters.

Clinical Trial Description

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that destroys tooth-supporting structures through oral bacterial plaque. Scaling and root planning are considered the gold standard treatment for periodontal disease. Antiseptics represent an aid to the gold standard nonsurgical treatment of scaling and root planning (SRP) for periodontal disease. Adjuncts to scaling and root planning have been introduced as ozone gel. This gel represents both antimicrobial and beneficial effects while expressing safe cytocompatibility toward host tissues, which is progressively developing. The study aims to determine ozone gel's antimicrobial effect as an adjunct to conventional periodontal therapy (scaling and root planning). Material and Methods: Twenty-one patients with periodontitis were enrolled in this study. There were 58 periodontal pockets divided into two groups by a blinded split-mouth design. The control group had 28 periodontal pockets treated with scaling and root planning only, while the test group had 30 with scaling and root planning and ozone gel. Two gel applications were applied at baseline and one month after the treatment. Plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, and relative attachment level were recorded. Gingival crevicular fluid samples were collected from the pockets at each site for both groups at different time intervals. The GCF sample was transferred into Eppendorf tubes containing 1.5 ml of PBS buffer, and the samples were stored in a freezer at -40˚C. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
