Abstract

Background: The use of antibiotics adjunctive to non-surgicalperiodontal treatment is an accepted approach in the treatment ofperiodontitis. However, bacterial recolonization is a major drawbackwhich complicates the maintenance of therapeutic acquisitions. Theaim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiologicaleffects of adjunctive amoxicillin and metronidazole combination inthe treatment of periodontitis during 6 months follow-up. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two periodontitis patients wereassigned as test (n=12) and control (n=10) groups. While testgroup received amoxicillin and metronidazole combination as anadjunct to scaling and root planing, control group treated withscaling and root planing alone. Clinical examinations andsubgingival dental plaque sampling were conducted at baselineand 1, 3 and 6. months during the follow-up. Fusobacteriumnucleatum, Tannerella forsythia and Prevotella intermedia levelswere determined using real time polymerase chain reactionmethod.Results: Both groups exhibited significant improvements in eachfollow-up period when compared to baseline. However, clinicalimprovements in test group were more prominent than controlgroup as 3rd and 6th months. While some decrease was notable inthe counts of all investigated bacteria in both groups, only T.forsythia levels significantly reduced at all follow-up months in testgroup comparing with controls.Conclusion: The results of this study indicated thatamoxicillin/metronidazole treatment adjunctive to scaling and rootplaning provided additional clinical benefits and suppressed the T.forsythia recolonization.

Özet

Amaç: Periodontitis tedavisinde cerrahi olmayan periodontal tedavi ile eş zamanlı antibiyotik uygulamaları kabul görmüş bir yaklaşımdır. Bununla beraber, bakteri rekolonizasyonu tedavi kazanımlarının idamesini güçleştiren bir durumdur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, periodontitis tedavisinde amoksisilin ve metronidazol kombinasyonunun tedavi sonrası 6 aylık dönemde klinik ve mikrobiyolojik etkilerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yirmi iki periodontitis hastası test (n=12) ve kontrol (n=10) gruplarına ayrıldı. Test grubu diştaşı temizliği ve kök yüzeyi düzleştirmesi işlemlerine ilaveten eş zamanlı amoksisilin ve metronidazol tedavisi alır iken, kontol grubuna yalnızca diştaşı temizliği ve kök yüzeyi düzleştirmesi uygulandı. Klinik değerlendirmeler başlangıçta ve 1, 3 ve 6. takip aylarında gerçekleştirildi. Fusobacterium nucleatum, Tannerella forsythia ve Prevotella intermedia seviyeleri gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu yöntemi ile belirlendi. Bulgular: Her iki grupta da bütün takip aylarında başlangıca göre anlamlı düzelmeler gözlendi. Bununla beraber, test grubunda 3. ve 6. aylarda kontrol grubunda göre daha fazla düzeyde klinik iyileşmeler tespit edildi. Her iki grupta da incelenen bakterilerin miktarlarında belirli düşüşler görülse de yalnızca T. forsythia seviyeleri tüm takip aylarında test grubunda kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı seviyelerde düşüş gösterdi. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, diştaşı temizliği ve kök yüzeyi düzleştirmesine ilaveten uygulanan amoksisilin/metronidazole tedavisinin ilave klinik faydalar ortaya koyduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, destekleyici antibiyotik tedavisi T. forsythia rekolonizasyonunu baskılamıştır
