Supra- and sub-gingival instrumentation of periodontitis with the adjunctive treatment of a chloramine - a one-year randomized clinical trial study.

ABSTRACT: Periodontitis is a bacterial-induced disease and for this reason controlling the microbiota is a necessity. Therapy includes self-performed daily oral hygiene in combination with supra- and sub-gingival instrumentation. An adjunctive antimicrobial agent may improve the outcome.

Material and methods

Thirty-eight patients were randomized to a test or a control group. Clinical indices were performed at baseline and at three and twelve months. In the test group, Perisolv® was applied initially and after the sub-gingival instrumentation in pathological pockets. Oral health-related quality of life was meas
