ABSTRACT
AIM:
The objective of the current study was to compare the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) versus Poly-L-glycolic acid nanoparticles loaded riboflavin incorporated in aloe vera gel (PGA/RF/AV) on periimplant parameters and bacterial counts in chronic hyperglycemic patients having periimplantitis.METHODS:
One hundred and two diabetic patients undergoing mechanical debridement (MD) were equally divided into three groups Group 1 PGA/RF/AV+ MD, Group 2 PDT + MD, and Group 3 MD alone. Periimplant parameters [Bleeding on probing (BoP), probing depth (PD), plaque index (PI), marginal bone level (MBL)] were recorded in all three groups. Periimplant plaque samples were studied to record the levels of Tannerella forsythia (Tf) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). The recordings were taken at baseline, 3 months and 6 months post treatment.RESULTS:
All three groups showed a reduction in severity of periimplantitis measured in terms of PD, PI, MBL and BoP. A statistically significant reduction in PD, PI and MBL was found in patients in Group 2 whereas participants of Group 1 were found to have a significant decrease in BoP. A statistically significant decline in the numbers of both the bacterial species was seen in Group 2 at the three-month follow-up whereas at the six-month follow-up, a statistically significant reduction was observed in treatment Group 2 in the levels of Tf species only.CONCLUSION:
Riboflavin-loaded nanocarrier incorporated in aloe vera gel showed greater clinical efficacy than PDT alone in the treatment of periimplantitis in chronic hyperglycemic individuals.Palavras-chave
