RESUMO
O alendronato de sódio é utilizado, na área médica, no tratamento da osteoporose e outras doenças ósseas. Nos últimos anos alguns estudos avaliaram o efeito do uso sistêmico do alendronato, principalmente, em defeitos ósseos decorrentes da evolução da doença periodontal inflamatória. Todavia, o uso sistêmico e prolongado do alendronato tem sido associado à osteonecrose dos maxilares. O objetivo deste ensaio clínico controlado randomizado foi avaliar o efeito do tratamento periodontal mecânico não cirúrgico, associado à aplicação tópica de alendronato de sódio a 1%, em indivíduos com periodontite. Para tanto, 16 indivíduos com periodontite crônica foram selecionados nas clínicas de Periodontia do Departamento de Odontologia da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, no período de abril de 2013 a maio de 2014...
Alendronate Sodium is medically used in the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone diseases. In the past few years, studies have evaluated the effect of systemic use of Alendronate Sodium, especially in the treatment of structural bone defects caused by the evolution of periodontal inflammatory diseases. However, the prolonged and systemic use of Alendronate Sodium has been associated with the treatment of osteonecrosis of the maxilla. The objective of this randomized and controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of non-surgical mechanical periodontal treatment, associated with the topical application of Alendronate Sodium at 1%, to individuals presenting cases of periodontitis. To the case, 16 individuals presenting chronic periodontitis were selected in the periodontal clinics of the Odontology department from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, in the period of April of 2013 to May of 2014. A complete periodontal exam was performed three and six months after the base exam, registeringthe following clinical parameters: probing depth, measured insertion loss, bleeding on probing, plaque index. The evaluation of the bone defects was performed using the technics of subtraction radiography and cone beam computerized tomography in the base exam and six months after the non-surgical ...(AU)
