Abstract
Objective To observe the effect of minocycline hydrochloride sustained-release agent on interleukin-6 (IL-6) in gingival sulcus fluid of patients with chronic periodontitis.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with chronic periodontitis were randomly divided into two groups,the control group(n =60 cases) and the treatment group(n =60 cases).The patients in the control group were treated through oral tinidazole.The patients in the treatment group were given topical application of minocycline hydrochloride sustained-release agent.The plaque index,probing pocket depth,bleeding on probing rate and IL-6 in gingival sulcus fluid were detected before and after treatment.Results The plaque index,probing pocket depth,bleeding on probing rate were decreased after treatment.There was a significant difference between two groups(P ＜ 0.05).IL-6 level was decreased after treatment.There was a significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Minocycline hydrochloride can improve patients with chronic periodontitis through mitigating inflammation.
