Adjunctive Benefits of Systemic Etoricoxib in Non‐Surgical Treatment of Aggressive Periodontitis: Short‐Term Evaluation

Abstract: Etoricoxib did not promote additional improvement in the clinical parameters; however, it produced an initial reduction in the PGE(2) levels in the GCF, which could be related to the discrete improvement in the bone condition.

“…Metronidazole affects specifically the anaerobic oral flora, including P. gingivalis, T. forsythia and T. denticola, microorganisms attached to the red Socransky's complex 50 , while A. actinomycetemcomitans, an optional anaerobic bacterium, appears to be widely opposed by the amoxicillin 38-39,41. The anti-inflammatory effect in the AP treatment was not observed. In addition, the studies with these drugs have inconsistent data and, therefore, do not allow any indication [46][47] .…”

“…NSAIDs are considered an important pharmacologic class of agents that act as modulators of the host response, modifying the progression of periodontal disease, as evidenced by animal studies [10,11,15]. Although some evidences are controversial, clinical data have also shown that the systemic administration of these drugs may offer supplementary benefits in periodontal therapy when combined with scaling and root planning [12-14]. However, the systemic use of both non-selective and selective inhibitors of COX-2 are frequently linked to various side effects, including gastroduodenal and renal complications, impairing patient compliance to their use, especially when continued periods of administration are required [16].…”

“…Azoubel et al [16] found no improvement in the clinical parameters regarding the use of Etoricoxib 120 mg/day, but verified the reduction of PGE2 levels in crevicular fluid, which could be related to the slight improvement in bone condition in the non-surgical treatment of aggressive periodontitis. Yen et al [15], in a study with 131 patients for the treatment of chronic periodontitis, found that celecoxib is an effective drug in addition to scaling and root planing, providing better treatment outcomes by reducing the progression of bone loss.…”
