Application of Antiseptic and Osteoplastic Drug for Destructive Periodontitis Treatment

Abstract

Introduction: Treatment of destructive forms of chronic periodontitis is extremely topical. Its relevance is associated with the features of treatment, which depends on the stage of the exacerbation process. The issue of the problem is also in the fact that the destructive seat of periodontitis is a source of chronic infection. The aim: The task of the research was to evaluate the conservative treatment of chronic destructive forms of periodontitis with a dental kit “Cupratin”, developed for professional usage in dental practice. Materials and methods: “Cupratin” is a complex medicament based on suspensions of calcium hydroxide, copper-calcium hydroxide and powder, which contains hydroxide aluminosilicate and calcium sulphate, radiopaque filler. It has bactericidal and osteoplastic effect. The treatment involved 44 patients (44 teeth) in the age group of 37 to 50 years suffering from chronic granulating periodontitis without concomitant diseases. Patients were divided into two groups: investigated and control. In the main group of patients, a suspension on the basis of copper-calcium was used for treatment (root canals were filled with “Cupratin” as a temporary filling material). Obturation of canals was preceded by chemical and mechanical treatment. The medical material was in direct contact with periodontal tissues for 20-55 days. Intraoral X-ray radiography was taken from the patients within the intervals of 3 and 6 months. Results and conclusions: Positive results were obtained, which were characterized by the disappearance of subjective symptoms, intensive bone tissue reconstruction in the site of destruction and a decrease in the size of the destruction respectively.
