Clinical effects of an essential oil solution used as a coolant during ultrasonic root debridement

Abstract

Essential oil solutions do not offer a clinical benefit over water when used as a coolant during ultrasonic root debridement for the treatment of chronic periodontitis.

A double‐blind randomized placebo‐controlled study on the clinical and microbial effects of an essential oil mouth rinse used by patients in supportive periodontal care

“…Howbeit, the essential oil group, showed significant reduction in BOP scores compared with the other groups at 1 month. In a similar study by Cosyn et al (41), 35 chronic periodontitis patients underwent ultrasonic root debridement with either water or essential oil as coolant. After a 3-month period, despite the significant clinical improvements in both groups, no statistically significant inter-group difference was observed.…”

The effect on clinical parameters of periodontal inflammation following non‐surgical periodontal therapy with ultrasonics and chemotherapeutic cooling solutions: a systematic review

“…, Cosyn et al. ), and the other papers did not provide details on smoking habits. Information on procedures such as use of anaesthesia, duration of instrumentation, subsequent use of rubber cups for polishing, follow‐up supportive periodontal care, instructions regarding oral hygiene products, and additional (temporary) use of chemical mouthwash was sparsely reported in the included studies.…”

Resultados da aplicação tópica do extrato de própolis na redução da progressão da doença periodontal

“…Foi observado que o grupo Pincel apresentou menor perda óssea que o grupo Clorexidina provavelmente pelo menor desvio padrão observado.. Já na comparação intra-grupo, não houve progressão significativa da perda óssea radiográfica nos grupos Controle e Clorexidina de 7 a 21 dias, não se observando radiograficamente a eficácia da clorexidina 0,12% em inibir a progressão da DP (Cosyn et al, 2013;Zanatta & Rösing, 2007).…”
