To compare the clinical effects of subgingival irrigation with ozonated water to the effects of chlorhexidine solution on gingivitis in orthodontic patients and to correlate the clinical effects with the MCP-1 activity in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Correlate the inflammatory marker monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) in GCF with clinical parameters viz. gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), probing pocket depth (PPD).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
