Introduction: The use of a delivery system to administer an anti-microbial agent offers advantages in the treatment of periodontal diseases. We compare the periodontal tissue healing of chronic periodontitis patients after administrating
a combination of curettage with chlorhexidine digluconate-delivery membrane. The membrane are collagen and gelatin-carbonated apatite based. Materials and methods: We assign total of 45 periodontal pocket with 3-5mm depth of 9 patients into 3 groups of 15 to receive curettage and one of membranes: collagen-chlorhexidine digluco-nate (CCH), gelatin-carbonated hydroxyapatite (GC), or gelatin-carbonated hydroxyapatite-chlorhexidine gluconate
(GCCH). Evaluation before treatment as baseline and 7, 21, as well as 28 days after the treatment include parameters Pocket Depth (PD), Relative Attachment Loss (RAL), and Bleeding on Probing (BOP). Results: TAll three combinations
promote decreasing PD, RAL, and BOP after 7, 21, and 28 days. The differences among groups are insignificant. Conclusion: Carbonate apatite gelatin membrane itself decreased PD, RAL, and BOP greater on the 21st day. This work shows treatment options for clinician to manage a chronic periodontitis case. |
