Inhibitory effects of cetylpyridinium chloride buccal tablets on dental plaque / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of cetylpyridinium chloride buccal tablets(CCBT)on dental plaque control.Meth-ods60 patients with gingivitis,mild or moderate,or chronic periodontitis were divided into control group(without drug treatment), CCBT group (treated with CCBT)and CHX group (treated with compound chlorhexidine gargle)according to the randomized con-trolled single-blind principle.Quigley-Hein plaque index (PI)and bleeding index (BI)of the subjects were recorded,tumor necro-sis factor (TNF-α)and interleukin (IL-1β)in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)were measured by ELISA before and after 2 weeks'trial.Results:After 2-week treatment,PI and BI in CCBT and CHX groups decreased(P0.05). In control group PI was decreased(P005).Conclusion:CCBT is effective in inhibiting plaque accumulation and decreasing GCF TNF-αlevel.
