Summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical, biochemical and microbiological efficacy of ozone treatment as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) in periodontitis patients. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Is the application of gaseous ozone, as an adjunct to NSPT, to periodontal pockets in patients with periodontitis alters the clinical periodontal parameters, gingival crevicular fluid levels of inflammatory cytokines, and periodontal pathogens compared to NSPT alone? The study will be performed according to a split-mouth design, the contralateral quadrants with similar periodontal status in each patient will be randomly allocated to one of the following two different treatment modalities.

Participants will be applied NSPT consisting of supra and subgingival debridement.

* NSPT will be applied alone in one quadrant
* In addition to NSPT, ozone therapy procedures were performed using a device at contralateral sites.

Researchers will compare the sites with and without ozone therapy in addition to NSPT to see if ozone therapy adjunct to the NSPT affects clinical, biochemical, and microbiological changes

Conditions

  • Periodontitis

Interventions

DEVICE

Ozone therapy using a device (Ozone DTA Ozone Generator, Denta Tec Dental AS, Norway)

Ozone therapy procedures will be performed immediately after non-surgical periodontal treatment and three times (every third day) within one week using a device equipped with a periodontal tip according to equipment producer recommendations. The periodontal tip will be halted 1 mm short of the pocket depth. Ozone will be applied only to the pockets; which depth is equal to or greater than 5 mm. Ozone application time to the pockets will be 30 seconds at a fixed concentration of 2,100 ppm (80% oxygen) through a connected handpiece.

PROCEDURE

Non-surgical periodontal treatment

Non-surgical periodontal treatment consists of oral hygiene instructions, full mouth supragingival scaling using hand instruments, ultrasonic devices, polishing, and subgingival debridement under local anesthesia with sharp Gracey and Universal curettes and ultrasonic instruments in a single appointment.
