One subgingival irrigation with 10% povidone iodine after root planning
Objectives: The effects of antiseptics in the treatment of peridontitis are well documented. The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a unique subgingival irrigation of 10% povidone iodine after a full mouth scaling and root planning treatment in chronic periodontitis.
Methods: Twenty patients with chronic periodontitis took part in this investigation. In each patient four initially untreated pockets ≥ 4mm were randomly selected for one subgingival irrigation. After a full mouth treatment of scaling and root planning, two pockets of this split mouth design received one unique irrigation of 10ml 0.9% Nacl (control group). Two pockets in the other side received 10ml of povidone iodine 10% (test group).Measures of PPD, CAL, BOP, PlI, and GI were registered at M0 and after M1, M3 and M6.
Results: PPD, CAL and BOP improved significantly in both groups after six months.The major difference was seen between M0 and M3.No significant differences were observed between the control and test groups.
Conclusions: No statistical differences were seen between the Nacl and PVI groups in the clinical results after six months. More studies are needed to confirm these results. Further prospective studies in which multiple irrigations of povidone iodine 10% will be given, for example at each control, could enhance this periodontal treatment.
