Abstract

Aim: In the alveoler socket alloved by periodontal tissues tooth mobility is limited movement on the vertical and horizontal directions. Physiological mobility of the teeth, periodontal moderate force is applied, due to flexibility of the periodontium limited tooth movement. The aim of the present study is evaluate the effect of the Reinforcement-Polyethylene Fibrils Strips on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) human β defensin-1 levels in chronic periodontitis (CP) who have pathologic teeth mobility. Material and Method: Totaly 15 patients who have a pathological mobility due to periodontal problem with chronic periodontitis were included in our study. The clinical periodontal parameters were recorded at the baseline and 1 month. After the phase 1 and phase 2 periodontal treatment periodontal splint treatment was performed with reinforcement polyethylene fibrils strips. Examples of gingival crevicular fluid are taken before and after the first month splint treatment. To measure human β defensin-1 levels linked immuno sorbent method (ELISA) was used. Results: Before and after the splint treatment clinical periodontal indexes found significantly difference between compared groups. Total human β defensin-1 levels in gingival crevicular fluid are found significantly decrased after the first month splint treatment. Conclusion: In addition to periodontal treatment with a regulation of pathologic mobility human β defensin-1 levels are decreased in chronic periodontitis patients. Use of reinforcement polyethylene fibrils strips may be beneficial to reduce the devastating effects of pathological mobility of periodontal tissues
