Highlights
Chronic periodontitis is an infectious disease resulting in inflammation within the supporting tissues of the teeth, progressive attachment loss and bone loss
Periodontal disease initiation is by a local accumulation of bacteria and their metabolic products leading to apical migration of the junctional epithelium along the root surface, deepening the gingival crevice to produce periodontal pockets and associated attachment loss, which is the hallmark lesion of periodontal disease.[1]
In the end of the treatment, the periodontal pocket was irrigated by a blunt-tipped sterile plastic syringe containing 0.12 % chlorhexidine [Fig. 3-5] and ozonated oil using disposable 10 ml plastic syringe.[Fig. 6-8] The selected teeth were isolated with cotton rolls and thoroughly dried and the oil was applied carefully subgingivally until excess oil was observed from the gingival margin
Summary
Chronic periodontitis is an infectious disease resulting in inflammation within the supporting tissues of the teeth, progressive attachment loss and bone loss. Studies have suggested use of ozonated olive oil for management of periodontal infection. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using Ozonated olive oil along with SRP, compared to subgingival chlorhexidine with SRP for treatment of chronic periodontitis. Conclusion: A single subgingival irrigation with ozonated oil can be effectively used as an adjunct to SRP in non-surgical management of chronic periodontitis. P. gingivalis is a highly adapted pathogen that is armed with a number of putative virulence factors that enable this organism to cause disease. Among such putative virulence factors are fimbriae and lectin-type adhesins, a polysaccharide capsule, lipopolysaccharide, hemagglutination and hemolysing activities, toxic products of metabolism, outer membrane vesicles, and numerous enzymes.[4]
