ABSTRACT
Adjunctive therapeutic strategies that modulate the inflammatory mediators can play a significant role in periodontal therapy. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 60 subjects diagnosed as periodontitis patients were evaluated for 28 days after periodontal treatment combined with selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. The experimental group received scaling and root planning (SRP) combined with the Loxoprofen antiinflammatory drug (SRP+Loxoprofen). The control group received SRP combined with placebo (SRP+placebo). Plaque index (PI), probing pocket depth (PD) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were monitored with an electronic probe at baseline and after 14 and 28 days. Both groups displayed clinical improvement in PD, PI and BOP. They also showed statistically similar values (p>0.05) of PD reduction on day 14 (0.4 mm) and on day 28 (0.6 mm). At the baseline, few deeper sites (>7 mm) from SRP+Loxoprofen group were responsible and most PD reduction was observed after 14 days (p<0.05). The percentage of remaining deep pockets (>7 mm) after 14 days in the SRP+Loxoprofen group was significantly lower (p<0.05) than in the SRP+placebo group. Loxoprofen presents potential effect as an adjunct of periodontal disease treatment, but long-term clinical trials are necessary to confirm its efficacy.
RESUMO
Estratégias terapêuticas adjuvantes que modulam os mediadores inflamatórios podem ter função significante na terapia periodontal. Neste estudo duplo-cego controlado com placebo, 60 indivíduos diagnosticados com periodontite foram avaliados por 28 dias após tratamento periodontal combinado com inibidor seletivo de COX-2. O grupo experimental foi tratado com raspagem e alisamento radicular combinado com medicação anti-inflamatória Loxoprofeno (RAR+Loxoprofen). O grupo controle foi tratado com raspagem e alisamento radicular combinado com medicação placebo (Raspagem e alisamento radicular - RAR+placebo). Presença de placa (PI), profundidade de sondagem (PS) e sangramento à sondagem (SS) foram monitoradas com auxílio de uma sonda computadorizada no início do estudo e após 14 e 28 dias. Os dois grupos demonstraram melhora clínica em relação a PS, PI e SS. Também foi observado valores semelhantes (p>0,05) de redução da PS nos períodos de 14 dias (0,4 mm) e 28 dias (0,6 mm). No início do estudo, alguns sítios profundos (>7 mm) do grupo RAR+Loxoprofen foram os responsáveis pela maior redução da PS depois de 14 dias (p<0,05). A porcentagem de bolsas periodontais profundas >7 mm após 14 dias no grupo RAR+Loxoprofen foi significativamente inferior do que o grupo RAR+placebo (p<0.05). A medicação Loxoprofen apresenta potencial efeito adjuvante à terapia periodontal, mas estudos de longo prazo são necessários para confirmar sua eficácia.
