Brief Summary

Background: Chronic periodontitis is one of the most common causes of tooth loss and is rather common in the population. Treating chronic periodontitis remains a challenge for dental practitioners. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical effects of sub-gingival application of 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel after root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: In this split mouth study, 733 periodontal pockets of 28 patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis were chosen for investigation. They were divided into 2 groups: control group and experimental group. The experimental group received sub-gingival administration of 1 ml of 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel into each pocket immediately after root planing and then after 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. Clinical parameters were assessed at baseline and 6 weeks after root planing. Subgingival plaque was assessed at baseline and 6 weeks after root planing. Quantitative real-time PCR for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Treponema denticola (Td), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) Tannerella forsythia (Tf) were performed at the same time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

  • Probing pocket depth (PPD)

    Periodontal pocket depth was evaluated at six positions in all teeth (mesio-buccal, buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, lingual, and disto-lingual). The value of PPD was calculated by the total score/the number of positions.

    6 weeks

  • Plaque index (PlI)

    Plaque index (PlI) was evaluated at six positions in all teeth (mesio-buccal, buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, lingual, and disto-lingual). The value of PlI was calculated by the total score/the number of positions.

    6 weeks

  • Gingival index (GI)

    Gingival index (GI) was evaluated at six positions in all teeth (mesio-buccal, buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, lingual, and disto-lingual). The value of GI was calculated by the total score/the number of positions.

    6 weeks

  • Clinical attachment loss (CAL)

    Clinical attachment loss (CAL) was evaluated at six positions in all teeth (mesio-buccal, buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, lingual, and disto-lingual). The value of CAL was calculated by the total score/the number of positions.

    6 weeks

  • Bleeding on probing (BOP)

    BOP was presented by the percentage of recorded bleeding sites.

    6 weeks

  • Copy number of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg)

    The copy number of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) was monitored by Real-time PCR

    6 weeks

  • Copy number of Treponema denticola (Td)

    The copy number of Treponema denticola (Td) was monitored by Real-time PCR

    6 weeks

  • Copy number of Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn)

    The copy number of Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) was monitored by Real-time PCR

    6 weeks

  • Copy number of Tannerella forsythia (Tf)

    The copy number of Tannerella forsythia (Tf) was monitored by Real-time PCR

    6 weeks

Interventions

Quantitative real-time PCR for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Treponema denticola (Td), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) Tannerella forsythia (Tf) were performed at the same time.
