The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinicaland laboratory (as oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory mediators) effects of the use of gaseous ozone in periodontal treatment in addition to scaling and root planning.
The study population consisted of 40 patients with CP (chronic periodontitis). It was performed with two groups; The Test Group, and the Control Group. SRP plus gaseous ozone [1 W (100 mJ, 10 Hz)] was applied to the Test Group. The Control Group, on the other hand, had only SRP.The clinical periodontal parameters were performed and saliva samples were taken before SRP (baseline) and 1 month after treatment. The periodontal examination involved assessing the plaque index, gingival index , probing depth, and clinical attachment level. The total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, nitric oxide, 8-hidroxi-deoksiguanosine, myeloperoxidase, glutathione, malondialdehyde and transforming growth factor-beta levels were determined in the saliva samples.

The study has been designed in a randomized parallelly-controlled and double-blinded design as a full-mouth clinical trial. The duration of the study was 1 month.
The study was performed with two groups; The Test Group, and the Control Group. SRP plus gaseous ozone [1 W (100 mJ, 10 Hz), (n=20)] was applied to the Test Group.
The Control Group, on the other hand, had SRP plus placebo (n=20). The patients were distributed in random order to the 2 groups (each group had 20 patients). One patient in the Ozone Group and 2 patients in the Control Group left the study.
The following clinical periodontal parameters were performed immediately before SRP (baseline), and 1 month after treatment for each test and control groups. Plaque index, GI, PD and CAL were recorded. All clinical parameter measurements were used a manual periodontal probe (PCP- 12, Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA).
The total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, nitric oxide, 8-hidroxi-deoksiguanosine, myeloperoxidase, glutathione, malondialdehyde and transforming growth factor-beta levels were determined in the saliva samples.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 40 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL |
Masking: | Double (Participant, Investigator) |
Masking Description: | The clinician who performed the therapy (S.D.) was not informed about the modality of the treatment till the first session of each patient (right at this moment, a sealed envelope was opened and the clinician was then able to see the treatment modality). The results of the study were evaluated in a blinded manner (both before treatment and after treatment). The ozone was applied in the gingival sulcus of all teeth with a fine-tipped tool placed in the periodontal pocket. It was moved in the apical-coronal direction in a sweeping motion. Within 30 seconds, this application was applied in mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual manner. No ozone application was used in the Control Group, and they received only placebo. |

- Laboratory findings [ Time Frame: One month ]The total antioxidant status levels ( mmol/L) were determined in the saliva samples.
- Clinical findings [ Time Frame: One month ]Probing depth was measured the distance between the gingival margin and the deepest aspect of the pocket (mm).
