ABSTRACT

Aim: Comparative microbiological analysis on the quantity and pathogenic potential of dental plaque content during chronic periodontal disease in patients using conventional therapy and standard therapy supported by chlorhexidine gluconate gel.
Materials and methods: To achieve the set objective, a total of 30 patients of both sexes, aged 20-50 years, who were diagnosed on the basis of X-ray analysis and clinical parameters with periodontal disease of the second clinical stage. The researchers were divided into 2 groups: the first group was treated with the conventional method - standard method, and the subjects from the second group were treated with the combined method - conventional method - standard method and chlorhexidine gluconate gel agent. All the researchers underwent a clinical examination and the material was taken for microbiological analysis. The determination of microorganisms was carried out through the material obtained from each patient. The material was taken from dental plaque with tooth scraping and periodontal scraping from the probe surface before therapy and after therapy in both tested groups.
Results: The results show a reduction of periopathogens after the application of the conventional method together with the application of Chlorhexidine gluconate gel, compared to the researchers treated only with the conventional method. The results from the table show that the periopathogens before and after the application of the conventional method do not have large percentage differences, unlike those found after the application of conventional therapy with the application of Chlorhexidine gluconate gel.
Conclusion: The use of the combined method/ conventional standard method with the addition of the antiseptic Chlorhexidine gluconate gel, has a significant effective effect against periodonto-pathogenic bacteria by reducing the quantitative amount and pathogenicity of microorganisms in patients with chronic periodontopathy.
