Abstract:-Background: Controlled local delivery of disinfecting agents has been demonstrated to be efficient in improving the outcome of periodontal therapy. Aims: The aim of present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a controlled-release biodegradable chlorhexidine chip (Periocol CG) when used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of periodontitis. Study Design: Study was carried out as randomized controlled two group parallel clinical trial. Material and method: Forty patients in the age group of 30-65 years suffering from chronic periodontitis, having pocket depth ranging between 5-8mm were selected for the study. At screening visit complete history taking, periodontal examination and full mouth supragingival scaling was done for each patient. At baseline visit, all clinical parameters were recorded at selected sites and patients were randomly assigned to either control group (group A) or the treatment group (group B). All patients in the both groups received complete subgingival scaling and root planing. Then in group B, chlorhexidine chip (Periocol CG) was inserted at the selected site. Patients were recalled at 1month, 2 months and 3 months from the baseline for recording clinical observations. Results: There was statistically significant clinical attachment gain, reduction in bleeding index scores and probing pocket depth reduction in both the groups but group B showed better results than group A and these differences were statistically significant. Conclusions: The results of this study show that chlorhexidine chip (PerioCol-CG) is an effective adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
