The effect of using desiccant agent HYBENX on clinical indices in the treatment of periodontitis stage І and П (randomized controlled clinical trial)

Abstract

Abstract:

Aim of the study: The main objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the desiccant agent HYBENX (HBX) as an adjunctive to scaling and root planning versus scaling and root planning alone in the treatment of Periodontitis stage П.    

Materials and methods: the study sample comprised 100 sites (periodontal pockets) have found in 10 patients who had periodontitis stage І and П that were included in this study according to specific criteria. Each quadrant was allocated randomly into two groups:

Control group: 50 sites (periodontal pockets with depth 4 to 5 mm) applied on them scaling and root planning alone.

Test group: 50 sites (periodontal pockets with depth 4 to 5 mm) applied on them HYBENX gel for 30 seconds after scaling and root planning.

The following clinical periodontal parameters: probing pocket depth (PPD), relative attachment level (RAL), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), gingival height (GH) and bleeding on probing index (BOP) were recorded at baseline (T0), 30 days (T1), 90 days (T9), 180 days (T6).

Results: comparisons within each study group showed that all clinical parameters were significantly improved (P<0.001) at all follow up intervals, On the other hand, test group showed statistically significant difference (P<0.001) with regard to BOP, GI, PPD, RAL indices at all follow-up intervals in comparison with (SRP) group.

Conclusion: The use of desiccant agent HYBENX as an adjunctive treatment to periodontitis improved the clinical indices compared to mechanical treatment alone.
