Abstract
Summary The common drug Metrogyl Denta can be used in different ways in the treatment of periodontitis, in particular, in the form of applications or using high-frequency ultrasound. The article is devoted to the study of the effect of various methods of using Metrogyl Dent gel on the microbiota of periodontal pockets in periodontitis. In 40 patients with a diagnosis of moderate periodontitis, the treatment complex included a combined effect of high-frequency ultrasound and an antibacterial preparation of Metrogyl Dent gel (ultraphonophoresis of Metrogil Dent gel) or Metrogil Dent was used as applications (20 people in the compared groups). The contents of the pathological periodontal pockets were studied twice before treatment (after removing dental deposits), and also after 10 days of treatment. Microbiological examination to identify periodontal pathogenic bacterial microbiota was carried out using the anaerobic culture technique. Ultraphonophoresis of Metrogyl Denta gel has a more pronounced antibacterial effect in comparison with the applications of this drug. The combined effect of high-frequency ultrasound and Metrogyl Denta gel makes it possible to create a drug depot in the periodontal tissues.
