Abstract

Objective: primary objective of periodontal therapy is to remove supra and subgingival deposits from the tooth surface to stop disease progression. The purpose of the study is to address the instrument selection and its efficacy in calculus removal. Methods: A total of 50 subjects who fulfilled the criteria were included in the study. Participants were subjected to a complete periodontal examination, and the responses from 50 dental house surgeons were compared based on the instrument design, handling characteristics, and efficacy of calculus removal by using two sets of instruments. Results: The LM instrument was rated as best (40 out of 50 participants) based on usability features like weight, the diameter of the handle, material, and surface characteristics. Handgrip, static friction, and surface characteristics features (43&7; 45&5; 40&10) were more for LM instruments when compared to Hu-friedy instruments. When compared to efficacy in calculus removal it was easy with Hu-Friedy instruments. Conclusion: Handling characteristics and efficacy of instruments depend on the design and type of material used to manufacture instruments. Cooperation between researchers, manufacturers, and experienced dental professionals is needed for an active and open-minded process during the development of dental instruments.

Abstract

Herbal products are gaining popularity due to their diverse biological action and safety. Mangosteen peel extract has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to treat periodontal diseases. Objective: To compare the efficacy of mangosteen peel extract and tetracycline gel as an adjunct to non-surgical management of periodontal abscess in type-II diabetes patients. Methods: This was a double blinded, randomized clinical trial included 20 Patients with Type-II diabetes. Both test and control groups received NSPT followed by adjunctive local application of mangosteen peel extract and tetracycline gel. Clinical parameters i.e., Probing depth (PPD), Clinical attachment level (CAL), Bleeding Index (BI) and Landry’s healing index (HI) were evaluated at base line and 1 month. Results: In intra and intergroup analysis, both the test and control groups had a better reduction in PPD, BI and CAL with a statistical significance. However, there was no statistical significance between the groups in healing index and showed no change in patient perception in both the groups. Conclusion: 4% mangosteen gel has significantly reduced the BI and PPD with increased CAL and acceptable subjective perception with no recurrence of periodontal abscess over the traditionally used tetracycline gel.
