Periodontal Diseases
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of minimally invasive nonsurgical debridement (MINSD) of periodontal pockets with or without local amino acid buffered sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) gel application after 6 months follow-up.
Detailed description
Forty periodontal compromised patients were randomly allocated in two groups. Periodontal pockets \> 5 mm in patients of test group were treated by MINSD and NaOCl gel application, meanwhile in patients of control group MINSD alone was performed. Full-mouth plaque score (FMPS) , Full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and gingival recession (GR) were assessed at baseline and after 6 months follow-up.
Interventions
Patients treated by scaling and root planing and Sodium hypochlorite gel application, meanwhile in patients of control group scaling and root planing alone was performed.
