Abstract
A periodontal pocket can result into progressive loss of attachment. Many agents are tried to improve periodontal health. Hence this research was done to estimate the effectiveness of Tetracycline fibers; Probiotics and Chlorhexidine gel as a conjunction to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. In all, 60 patients between the ages of 25 and 35 who had generalized chronic periodontitis and had a probing pocket depth (PPD) of at least 5 mm were enrolled for this study. Four groups of 15 patients each were created from the patients: Group 1: Tetracycline fibres after SRP, Group 2: Chlorhexidine gel, Group 3: Probiotic mouthwash and Group 4: Rinse with regular saline. At baseline, oral prophylaxis was administered to all groups. Gingival index (GI), Plaque index (PI), and probing depth (PD), among other clinical indicators, were evaluated at baseline, two weeks, and four weeks, respectively. All clinical findings, along withPlaque index (PI), Gingival index (GI), and Probing depth at various time intervals, decreased statistically significantly. Tetracycline fibres, Chlorhexidine gel, and probiotic mouthwash are all similarly effective for treating chronic periodontitis, but they are all more effective than SRP alone, according to an intergroup comparison. When it comes to SRP, local medication delivery methods are beneficial in treating periodontitis.
