Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasonic subgingival curettage in conjunction with antibacterial polypeptide periodontal gel in the management of chronic periodontitis of moderate to severe severity. Methods included dividing 500 hospitalised patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis evenly between an observation group and a control group. Subgingival ultrasonic curettage was performed on the placebo group. The non-treatment group received ultrasonic subgingival curettage and a periodontal gel rinse containing polypeptides. Results were compared before and after treatment in terms of the periodontal index, inflammation in the gingival crevicular fluid, and occlusal and masticatory efficiency. Both groups saw significant reductions in occlusal duration and occlusal force balance after treatment compared to pre-treatment levels, though the observation group saw a more dramatic decrease in these indices than the control group with P ≤ 0.05. The treatment and observation groups both saw significant reductions in the masticatory efficiency standard deviation afterward, but the index in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group with P ≤ 0.05.The authors claim that moderate to severe chronic periodontitis can be effectively treated with a combination of polypeptide periodontal gel and ultrasonic subgingival curettage. Substantial decreases from pre-treatment levels for both groups, with the Observation Group's index being significantly lower than the Control Group's index (P ≤ 0.05). It is possible that this treatment will help reduce inflammation and improve your periodontal health. Biting strength and occlusion stability can both be improved at the same time to help patients improve their chewing efficiency. Therefore, this method can be used securely in real-world patient care settings.
