ABSTRACT Objective: Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a common inflammatory disease that causes destruction to the supporting tissues of the teeth. Many treatment modalities tried to stop the disease progression. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is one of the regenerative methods that used in adjunct to conventional periodontal treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of PRP by monitoring the lymphocyte count before and after its application to the periodontal pocket. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients, with CP and a pocket depth equal to or deeper than 4 mm, subjected to scaling, root planing, and PRP injection into the pocket. The lymphocyte count measured before and after 1 month from PRP application. Clinical periodontal parameters were taken during two visits (1 month apart), with customized stent fabrication. Results: All clinical periodontal parameters showed a reduction in their value following 1 month of PRP application. . There was a noticeable reduction in lymphocyte count from (mean 2.47 ± 0.91) to (mean 1.94 ± 0.77). Conclusion: In addition to its traditional uses, PRP has a great role in the periodontal treatment by its anti-inflammatory effect.

<b>Introduction:</b> Macrolides have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties that give this class of antibiotics a role that differs from its classical use as an antibiotic, which opens new therapeutic possibilities. <b>Objective:</b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of azithromycin in preventing mechanical ventilation (MV)-induced lung injury in very-low-birth-weight preterm neonates. <b>Methods:</b> This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of preterm neonates who received invasive MV within 72 h of birth. Patients were randomized to receive intravenous azithromycin (at a dose of 10/mg/kg/day for 5 days) or placebo (0.9% saline) within 12 h of the start of MV. Two blood samples were collected (before and after intervention) for measurement of interleukins (ILs) and PCR for <i>Ureaplasma</i>. Patients were followed up throughout the hospital stay for the outcomes of death and bronchopulmonary dysplasia defined as need for oxygen for a period of ≥28 days of life (registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03485703). <b>Results:</b> Forty patients were analyzed in the azithromycin group and 40 in the placebo group. Five days after the last dose, serum IL-2 and IL-8 levels dropped significantly in the azithromycin group. There was a significant reduction in the incidence of death and O<sub>2</sub> dependency at 28 days/death in azithromycin-treated patients regardless of the detection of <i>Ureaplasma</i> in blood. <b>Conclusions:</b> Azithromycin has anti-inflammatory effects, with a decrease in cytokines after 5 days of use and a reduction in death and O<sub>2</sub> dependency at 28 days/death in mechanically ventilated preterm neonates.

Introduction. Photodynamic therapy is supportive method of non-surgical treatment of periodontitis. The aim of the study was the assessment of photodynamic therapy impact on periodontal disease clinical parameters with a particular emphasis on microbiological aspects during periodontal treatment. Material and methods. The research was conducted on seven healthy patients aged 26- 55 years. All the patients were treated with a non-surgical (SRP) periodontal treatment. Then, the assisted photodynamic therapy was applied in selected pockets. Samples of the material obtained from periodontal pockets before and after the treatment were cultured in a microbiological laboratory. Results. After the introduced therapy the clinical improvement of periodontal disease was observed in the majority (6/7) of patients taking part in the study. There obtained the elimination of inflammation to 85.7% of the patients. Periodontal pocket depths have deteriorated from 0.5 to 3.0 mm in comparison to the pre-treatment values. The overall number of bacteria compared to the pre-treatment value was reduced. In addition, there was noticed a decrease in the number of periopathogens. Control samples showed a vivid dominance of the physiological flora. Conclusions. The non-surgical treatment of periodontitis in combination with the supportive action of photodynamic therapy has promising therapeutic effects by reducing the inflammation and decreasing the depth of periodontal pockets. The change in the ratio of periopathogens to physiological flora may indicate the restoration and maintenance of the state balance in periodontal pockets for patients with periodontitis.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on the disease severity in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Methods: Five hundred and twenty arthritis patients were included in the study, using consecutive non-probability sampling from the outpatient department of various public and private hospitals of Pakistan. Patients with periodontitis along with systemic Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) were included in the study. Clinical parameters taken for the severity of periodontitis were the Gingival recession (GV), Periodontal Pocket Depth (PPD) and Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL). Independent sample t-test was used for significance before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy. Data was presented with mean (standard deviation). Results: The PPD and CAL of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients were found to be decreased significantly following non-surgical periodontal treatment (p value < 0.05), unlike the gingival recession, which did not decrease significantly (p value > 0.05). Conclusion: The PPD and CAL values of periodontal patients with rheumatoid arthritis were significantly reduced after giving non-surgical Periotherapy along with oral hygiene instruction.

Stabilizing or reducing periodontal pocket depth can have a positive influence on the retention of teeth in dogs. A topical 2 % clindamycin hydrochloride gel (CHgel) was evaluated for the treatment of periodontal disease in dogs. The CHgel formulation provides for the sustained erosion of the matrix, but also flows into the periodontal pocket as a viscous liquid, and then rapidly forms a gel that has mucoadhesive properties and also may function as a physical barrier to the introduction of bacteria. A professional teeth cleaning procedure including scaling and root planing was done in dogs with one group receiving CHgel following treatment. Periodontal health was determined before and after the procedure including measurement of periodontal pocket depth, gingival index, gingival bleeding sites, and number of suppurating sites. There was a statistically significant decrease in periodontal pocket depth (19 %), gingival index (16 %), and the number of bleeding sites (64 %) at 90-days in dogs receiving CHgel. Additionally, the number of suppurating sites was lower (93 %) at 90-days for the group receiving CHgel. The addition of CHgel effectively controlled the bacterial burden (e.g., Fusobacterium nucleatum) at both day 14 and 90. Gingival cells in culture were shown to rapidly incorporate clindamycin and attain saturation in approximately 20-minutes. In summary, a professional teeth cleaning procedure including root planning and the addition of CHgel improves the gingival index and reduces periodontal pocket depth.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological outcomes of light-activated disinfection (LAD) alone or combined with probiotics as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment. Materials and methods In this single-blinded, randomized, controlled clinical pilot study, 48 patients (28 females and 20 males) with untreated periodontitis (stages II and III, grade B) were included. Using a parallel-group design, patients were randomly assigned into 3 groups to receive subgingival debridement (SD) alone (group 1, n = 16), SD with LAD (group 2, n = 16), or SD with LAD plus probiotic treatment (group 3, n = 16). Probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingiva-index simplified (GIs), plaque-control record (PCR), and subgingival microbiological samples were analyzed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months of follow-up. Results All treatment modalities demonstrated clinical improvements in PPD and CAL at 6 months compared to baseline but without a statistical significant difference between the groups. The combination of SD + LAD + probiotic treatment (group 3) demonstrated significantly greater reductions in BOP, GIs, and red complex bacteria P. gingivalis and T. forsythia compared with other groups at 6 months (p < 0.05). Conclusions A single application of LAD as an adjunct to SD provided no additional clinical and microbiological benefits compared to SD alone. The combination of SD + LAD + probiotic treatment in group 3 led to further improvements of the inflammatory parameters. Clinical relevance The additional use of probiotics in periodontal treatment can be a useful approach to support inflammation and infection control of periodontal tissues. Further studies are necessary to determine the extent of added benefit for this treatment approach.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of statin medication in chronic periodontitis patients and to compare the change in periodontal probing depth and clinical attachment level using 1.2% atorvastatin (ATV) gel and scaling and root planning (SRP) compared to SRP alone. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out on a sample size of 40 patients with equal male and female ratio between the age group of 40–60 years having chronic periodontitis with a minimum of 20 teeth that were selected for the study. Bilateral quadrants were selected and a split mouth study was conducted. Supragingival scaling was carried out in each patient in one long appointment. The patient was then recalled after 1 week for subgingival SRP. Root planing was carried out in two consecutive visits. Left side of the mouth on the 1st day followed by right side of the mouth on the next day. On the 2nd day, after completion of the root planning, followed by placement of 1.2% ATV gel and finally the Coe Pak was placed in one quadrant which was called the test site. In the other quadrant which was called control site placebo gel was placed and the treated site was covered by the Coe Pak. The recording of clinical parameters (plaque index [PI], gingival index [GI], probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment loss) was done at baseline, 1 month and 3 months. The selected site was sampled for subgingival microflora. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD test, and student t-test were used for intergroup and intragroup comparison. Results: In our study, when intergroup comparison of mean value for PI at baseline, 1 month and 3 months was found to clinically insignificant for control and test groups, while for GI, periodontal pocket depth, and clinical attachment level it was found insignificant at baseline while significant at 1 and 3 months. Similarly, when comparison was made for microbial count it was found clinically insignificant between control and test group at baseline, while significant was noted at 3-month interval. Conclusion: Our study evaluated the anti-inflammatory, osteoconductive and antimicrobial effects of atorvastatin giving significant reduction in PI, GI, PPD and gain in CAL along with significant decrease in the microbial load.

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a radial firing tip of an Er,Cr:YSGG laser as an adjunct to a nonsurgical periodontal treatment.Methods. Twelve patients with chronic or aggressive periodontitis were treated by conventional periodontal treatment using ultrasonic devices and hand instruments and, additionally, in two quadrants with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser. A new radial firing tip (RFPT 14-5, Biolase) was used with 1.5 W, 30 Hz, 11% air, 20% water, and pulse duration 140 μs. Microbiological smears were taken before treatment, one day after lasing, and three and six months after lasing. Pocket depths of all periodontal sites were measured before and six months after treatment.Results. The total bacterial load ofPrevotella intermedia,Tannerella forsythia,Treponema denticola,Fusobacterium nucleatum,Porphyromonas gingivalis, andAggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitansinside the pocket was reduced significantly throughout the whole examination time. Greater pocket depth reductions were observed in all groups. There was a slight higher reduction of pocket depth in the lased group after six months.Conclusions. These results support the thesis that Er,Cr:YSGG laser supported periodontal treatment leads to a significant reduction of periopathogenes and thereby helps the maintenance of periodontal health.

The Impact

Background: Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a systemic indicator of inflammatory diseases and is suggested as an oxidative stress marker. Objective: To determine the IMA and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) serum levels for patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and to evaluate the impact of non-surgical periodontal therapy on serum IMA and hsCRP levels. Methods: Twenty one systemically healthy patients with CP and 15 systemically and periodontally healthy controls (C) were enrolled in the study. Periodontal pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and attachment loss (AL) were recorded at the time of diagnosis and 6 weeks after the nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Blood samples were obtained before and after treatment from all groups, and serum IMA and hsCRP levels were evaluated by ELISA method. Results: All of the clinical findings were found to be elevated in the CP group in comparison to C group (p<0.05). Levels of IMA and hsCRP were higher in the CP group (p<0.05) and decreased after non-surgical periodontal therapy (p<0.05). Positive correlations were determined between PPD, BOP and hsCRP (p<0.05) as well as between PPD, AL, BOP and IMA levels (p<0.01) before treatment. A significant positive correlation was also observed between hsCRP and IMA (p<0.01) before and after treatment. Conclusion: IMA is a marker indicating systemic inflammation during periodontal disease, and is significantly reduced as a result of non-surgical periodontal therapy. Therefore, IMA might be suggested as a useful indicator of periodontal disease.
