Abstract:Objective: The aim of the present short-term follow-up study was to compare the effects of an essential oil (EO)-based oral rinse and chlorhexidine as adjuncts to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of periodontal inflammation. Methods: In Group-1, SRP was performed and participants were instructed to rinse with EO-based oral rinse; in Group-2, SRP was performed and participants were instructed to rinse with chlorhexidine; and in Group-3, SRP was performed and participants were instructed to rinse with water. Periodontal parameters (plaque index [PI], bleeding-on-probing [BOP], and probing pocket depth [PPD] ≥ 4 mm) were assessed at baseline and after 7 and 30 days. Results: In all groups, periodontal parameters (PI, BOP, and PPD ≥ 4 mm) were comparable at baseline. In Groups-1 and -2, there was a significant reduction in PI (P < 0.01), BOP (P < 0.01), and PD ≥ 4 mm after 7 days and 30 days of follow-up than baseline. In Group-3, there was a significant reduction in PI (P < 0.01) and BOP (P < 0.01) after 7 days of follow-up compared to baseline. There was no difference in periodontal parameters after 7 days and 30 days of follow-up in Groups-1 and -2. Conclusion: EO-based oral rinses and chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) are acceptable adjuncts to SRP in the treatment of periodontal inflammation.

“…It is well known that periodontal infl ammatory conditions are worse in immunocompromised individuals and individuals chewing smokeless tobacco products [10,12,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] It is therefore hypothesized that the outcomes of SRP (regardless of using essential-oil-based mouthwash Duration of smoking habit (in years) 10.6 ± 3.5 10.5 ± 2.8…”

Abstract:Objective: The aim of the present short-term follow-up study was to assess the eff ects of scaling and root planing (SRP) with or without adjunctive use of an essential-oil-based mouthwash in the treatment of periodontal infl ammation in smokers. Methods: In total, 120 individuals were divided into 2 groups. In Group-1, 60 smokers with periodontal infl ammation received SRP alone; and in Grou p-2, 60 smokers with periodontal infl ammation received adjunct essential-oil mouthwash therapy. Periodontal parameters (plaque index [PI], bleedingon-probing [BOP], and probing pocket depth [PD] ≥ 4 mm) were assessed at baseline and after 90 days of treatment. Results: There was no signifi cant diff erence in periodontal parameters (PI, BOP, and PD ≥ 4 mm) among participants in Group-1 and -2. Participants in both groups showed signifi cant reductions in PI (P < 0.01), BOP (P < 0.01), and PD ≥ 4 mm (P < 0.01) at follow-up compared to base line. At 90 days of follow-up, PI (P < 0.05), BOP (P < 0.05), and PD ≥ 4 mm (P < 0.05) were signifi cantly higher in Group-1 compared to Group-2. Conclusions: SRP with adjunct essential-oil mouthwash therapy is more eff ective in the treatment o f periodontal infl ammation in smokers as compared to when SRP is performed alone.

Effect of scaling and root planing with and without adjunct use of an essential-oil-based mouthwash on whole salivary interleukin-1β levels in patients with periodontal disease: A short-term follow-up study

2016

IMAS

Abstract:Objective: The aim of the present short-term follow-up study was to assess the eff ect of scaling and root planing (SRP) with and without adjunct use of an essential-oil-based mouthwash (EOBM) on whole salivary interleukin (IL)-1beta (β) levels in patients with periodontal disease. Methods: Ninety individuals with periodontal disease were divided into two groups. Patients in group 1 underwent SRP and were instructed to rinse with 10 mL of an EOBM twice daily for 30 days. Patients in group 2 underwent SRP and were instructed to rinse with 10 mL of water twice daily for 30 days. Whole saliva samples were collected, and IL-1β levels were measured at baseline and after 60 days of treatment. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically signifi cant. Results: At baseline, whole salivary IL-1β levels were comparable among patients in groups 1 (135.6 ± 13.5 μg/mL) and 2 (141.2 ± 5.4 μg/mL). After 60 days of follow-up, there is a signifi cant decrease in whole salivary IL-1β levels among patients in group 1 (10.2 ± 6.4 μg/mL) as compared to those in group 2 (56.6 ± 10.2 μg/mL) (P < 0.01). Conclusion: SRP, when performed with adjunct use of an EOBM, is more eff ective in reducing whole salivary IL-1β levels as compared to when SRP is performed without the use of an EOBM.
