Comparative Evaluation of Feracrylum and Chlorhexidine in Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy in Chronic Periodontitis: A Clinicomicrobiological Study

Abstract

Background: One common inflammatory illness that affects periodontal tissues is chronic periodontitis. By lowering inflammation and getting rid of periodontal bacteria, nonsurgical periodontal management is essential for treating chronic periodontitis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine and feracrylum in nonsurgical periodontal management for persistent periodontitis. Techniques: As part of their periodontal therapy, 50 patients with a diagnosis of chronic periodontitis were randomized into two groups: first got chlorhexidine, while other Feracrylum received feracrylum. Microbiological analysis and clinical parameters were measured at baseline and 3 months later. Results: Clinical metrics showed a considerable improvement in both groups. Comparing feracrylum to chlorhexidine, the former showed stronger antibacterial action against periodontal infections. Conclusion: For nonsurgical periodontal management of chronic periodontitis, feracrylum shows similar effectiveness to chlorhexidine. Furthermore, feracrylum has better antibacterial activity against pathogens of the periodontal tissues, indicating that it might be used as a substitute antimicrobial agent in periodontal management.
