Curcumin showed has antibacterial effect against periodontal pathogen and positive result regarding conventional treatment of periodontal disease due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and wound healing properties. This study will be carried out to examine the effect of curcumin when used in conjunction with open flap debridement treating deep periodontal pockets. (suggesting that it may have positive effect)
Detailed Description:
The present study entailed twenty four patients having stage II or stage III, Grade A periodontitis with 24 intrabony defects. Patients were divided into two groups; group I was subjected to open flap debridement only. Group II was subjected to curcumin paste (2%curcumin)in conjunction with open flap debridement Clinical parameters including plaque index, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth and clinical attachment level were recorded pre-surgical. Moreover, radiographic examination was performed by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) just before the surgery . Vertical bone defects were exposed by full thickness mucoperiosteal flap following intrasulcular incision and thorough debridement was performed. Group II received local application of curcumin paste.The same initial clinical parameters were recorded three and six months postoperatively. Radiographic measurements were recorded six months post surgically.
