Periodontitis is an infection of the ligament and bone supporting
the tooth and is caused by the presence of periodontopathogenic
species in a susceptible host, affecting 5% to 20% of the adult
population in a clinically significant manner. Periodontal therapy
is based on supra- and sub-gingival disinfection concomitant with
the establishment of an environment that is less favorable for
periodontopathogenic growth. Though the adequacy of mechanical
debridement (scaling and root planing) in the treatment of
periodontitis has been well acknowledged. Chemo-mechanical concept
has been developed where in a chemical agent is used as an adjunct
to scaling and root planing to improve the outcome of scaling and
root planing and furthermore prevent early microbial
re-colonization to ultimately ensure the best chance to clinical
improvement. Therefore a research project was undertaken to
evaluate the efficacy of Chlorhexidine - Thymol varnish (chemical)
as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (mechanical) and compare
it's results with mechanical debridement alone in the eradication
of microbial colonies and improvement of periodontal parameters,
which is discussed in depth in this book.
