RESUMO
Objective: To study the inhibitory effect of ozone water on bad breath pathogens in vitro. Methods: In vitro cultured bad breath pathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia (Pi) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) were identified by Gram stain and a PCR test. Ozonated water by was prepared by ozone generator and the concentration of ozone in water was measured using iodine titration. Artificial saliva was used to observe its interference on ozone function. Results: Gram stain and PCR results were consisted with strain characteristics. The ozone concentration of ozonated water reached to the maximum of 0. 2 mg/L. Ozone water with the concentration was 0. 05, 0. 1 and 0. 2 mg/L inhibited the proliferation of Pg, Pi and Fn. But the inhibitory effect was weakened when the concentration decreased. The artificial saliva reduced the effect of ozone water. Conclusion: The Pg, Pi and Fn can be inhibited by ozone water. Artificial saliva may reduce the effects of ozone water on the bacteria.
RESUMO
Objective:To observe the effects of Er ∶YAG(erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet) laser combined with diode laser in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.Methods:30 patients with chronic periodontitis patients were treated by mechanical scaling and root planning(SRP),pure Er ∶ YAG laser(ERT),diode + Er ∶ YAG + diode laser therapy(TPT) respectively.In the treatment VAS pain score was recorded.Probing deepth (PD),clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were examined,IL-1 β,TNF-α and b-FGF in GCF,Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg) in subgingiva plaqure were measured before and after treatment.Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 software.Results:6 weeks,12 weeks after treatment PD,BOP and CAL in TPT group were lower than those in ERT and SRP groups(P ＜0.05),TGF-β and b-FGF in TPT group were higher,IL-1β and TNF-α were lower than those in ERT and SRP groups (P ＜ 0.05).The content of Pg relative to total bacteria in TPT group were lower than that in ERT and SRP groups (P ＜ 0.05),VAS value in twinlight laser group was significantly lower than hand instruments group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:The twinlight laser is effective in the treatment of periodontitis.
