Brief summary
To compare the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy with or without systemic administration of amoxicillin and metronidazole on the concentration of serum levels of TRAP-5b in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis.
Detailed description
30 Chronic periodontitis subjects were divided into two groups- group A underwent scaling and root planing and group B underwent scaling and root planing with systemic administration of amoxicillin of 500 mg and metronidazole of 400 mg thrice daily for 7 days. Periodontal parameters probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were measured at baseline and at 3rd month. Serum TRAP-5b levels were also measured at baseline, 1 month and at 3rd month.
Interventions
subjects underwent full mouth supragingival and subgingival scaling
subjects underwent full mouth supragingival and subgingival scaling along with antibiotic intervention of amoxicillin of 500 mg and metronidazole of 400 mg thrice daily for 7 days

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Serum levels of TRAP-5b | Baseline and 3 months | Concentration of serum levels of TRAP-5b was assessed at baseline and at 3rd month using ELISA method. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Probing pocket depth | Baseline and 3 months | Probing pocket depth was measured using Williams periodontal probe at baseline and at 3rd month |
| Clinical attachment level | Baseline and 3 months | Clinical attachment level was measured as a distance between base of pocket and a fixed point on the crown, such as cemento-enamel junction at baseline and at 3rd month. |
