The application of adhesive biopolymer films Diplen-Denta, containing chlorhexidine and metronidazole, in a holistic treatment of inflammatory periodontium diseases of the orthodontic patients
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficiency of the adhesive biopolymer films, the active principle of which is chlorhexidine and metronidazole, when used in patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis undergoing orthodontic treatment. 54 patients aged 18-25 years with chronic catarrhal gingivitis and fixed orthodontic appliance was treated. Clinical and microbiological parameters showed high efficiency of treatment. According to phase contrast microscopy the mobility ratio of microorganisms recovered more substantially when using Diplen-Denta films.
