Assessment of antibacterial effectiveness of ultrasonic scaling in combination with calcium hydroxyappatite suspension among patients with type-1 diabetes

Abstract

Relevance. Type-1 diabetes mellitus affects usual oral microbiome for active growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria concentration in geometric progression, which leads to decrease in function of local immunity of oral cavity, inflammation of periodontal tissues and resorption of alveolar bone – the characteristics of chronic generalized periodontitis. This article provides analysis of qualitative and quantitative composition of microflora of periodontal pocket among type-1 diabetes patients before and after conservative periodontal therapy using ultrasonic treatment technique with a polishing suspension based on calcium hydroxide («Vector Paro», Durr Dental).Purpose. To evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of professional oral hygiene complex with the additional treatment of periodontal pockets with «Vector Paro» device among patients with type-1 diabetes and chronic generalized mild periodontitis.Materials and methods. 30 patients with chronic generalized mild periodontitis and type-1 diabetes were examined with using analyses of periodontal pockets microflora contents. All patients underwent a standard complex of professional oral hygiene and gentle periodontal therapy with the «Vector Paro» device. Re-examination was in 4 weeks.Results. The performed complex of conservative periodontal therapy improved periodontal status in both groups, but in control group changes were more significant.Conclusion. Dynamic monitoring of qualitative and quantitative composition of periodontal pockets in combination with conservative periodontal therapy using the «Vector Paro» apparatus improves hygienic and periodontal status among patients with type-1 diabetes.
