PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

To study the effectiveness of using the drug Cholisal as part of the conservative treatment of chronic periodontitis.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

We selected 100 patients aged 35 to 65 years of both sexes with a diagnosis of moderate chronic periodontitis in the acute phase with a periodontal pocket depth of 3.5—5 mm. Depending on the tactics of conservative treatment of CGP, patients were divided into two groups of 50 people. In the main group, in addition to standard treatment, the dental gel Cholisal was used, and in the control group, therapy was standard. 10 days after professional hygiene, patients in both groups were examined and underwent an index assessment of the condition of periodontal tissues and adherence to treatment.

RESULTS

In patients of the control group, 10 days from the start of treatment, the depth of periodontal pockets in the control group decreased slightly from 4.7±0.28 mm to 4.2±0.21 mm (p=0.074), and the Green-Vermillion hygiene index decreased by 25.3±1.79% (p=0.041), Silnesse-Loe plaque index by 59.1±2.16% (p<0.001), PMA index by 51.5±1.92% (p<0.001) and Muhlemann-Cowell bleeding index by 42.2±1.75% (p<0.001). In the main group, the effectiveness of treatment of chronic periodontitis with conservative therapy using Cholisal was higher. There was a statistically significant decrease in the depth of periodontal pockets from 4.8±0.23 mm to 3.5±0.19 mm (p=0.043), the Green-Vermillion hygiene index decreased by 47.6±2.13% (p=0.0003), Silnesse-Loe plaque index by 78.2±3.05% (p<0.001), PMA index by 69.4±2.74% (p<0.001) and Muhlemann-Cowell bleeding index by 66.9±1.62% (p<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The use of the drug Cholisal in the conservative treatment of chronic periodontitis has shown convincing positive dynamics in both subjective and objective assessments, which suggests its effective use.
