The Effects of Sub Gingival Application of Ozonated Olive Oil Gelatin Film in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis

Abstract

This study evaluates the effects of sub gingival application of ozonated olive oil gelatin film as an adjunct to scaling and root planning in patients with chronic periodontitis. Materials & methods: Thirty patients were randomly selected and equally divided into Group I received SRP only, group II received SRP and ozonated olive oil gelatin film. Subgingival application of ozone gel was performed following initial SRP and after 7 and 14 days. Clinical measurements included Probing pocket depth (PPD), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), Oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline and after 21 days. Results: The results showed improvement in all clinical parameters in (group II) which was maintained up to 21 days (P<0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that Ozonated olive oil gelatin film could be a promising adjunct to SRP in the treatment of Chronic periodontitis. Keywords: Ozone, Chronic periodontitis, SRP.
