Abstract
The effectiveness of newly released medications such as Chlorhexidine (CHX) chip, Doxycycline hyclate (DH) chip, CHX gel, DH chip as adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis is important. 90 adult Indian patients with moderate chronic periodontitis were enlisted. It was observed that reduction in periodontal pocket depth (PPD) and increase in clinical attachment level (CAL) was seen in patients in CHX group as compared to DH treated study participants. It was observed that CHX and DH in gel form were more effective in improving periodontal health as compared to CHX and DH in chip form in this group of subjects.
