Popis: BACKGROUND: Scaling and root planing [SRP] being the mainstay of treatment of periodontitis encompasses unambiguous impediments. antiseptics represent an aid to nonsurgical periodontal therapy. OBJECTIVE: This randomized controlled, split mouth study design with an observation period of three months aims to clinically evaluate the efficacy of ozonised oil and chlorhexidine as an adjunct to SRP. METHODS: Twenty-five patients of both sexes with an age range of 30–65 years diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and having a periodontal probe depth (PD)≥5 mm and CAL≥3 mm on at least 1 site in each quadrant were included in this randomised split mouth design study. Patients were allocated in 2 experimental treatment groups as SRP + chlorhexidine gel (control sites) and with SRP + ozone oil (test sites). The plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and periodontal pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline data and after 30 days post-baseline. RESULTS: The present study showed significant results in both the groups with regards to the improvement in the clinical parameters. When comparison was made between the two groups, it has been assessed that the use of the ozonized oil in addition to SRP did not show significant differences when compared to conventional SRP + chlorhexidine. CONCLUSION: For bye to SRP, ozonized oil can be considered as a viable alternative to chlorhexidine in the treatment of periodontitis, especially considering its low toxicity compared to chlorhexidine.
