Abstract :
Goals and Purpose: The purpose of this
study was to compare the effectiveness of chlorhexidine
(CHX) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) mouthwash on
individuals with chronic periodontitis. Materials and
Procedures A total of 51 patients with advanced
gingivitis were selected. Three groups of subjects were
created and distributed evenly. SRP and 0.2% CHX
gluconate mouthwash were administered to Group I
twice daily for 14 days. Scaling and root planning (SRP)
was administered to patients in Group II in addition to
1.5% H2O2 mouthwash over a 14-day period, while
SRP was administered to patients in Group III.
Patients in all groups had their gingival index and
plaque index measured on days 0, 7, and 14,
respectively. Using Student's paired and unpaired 't'
and oneway ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) tests, the
statistical analysis for comparisons between and within
groups was carried out. Statistics were considered
significant at P values less than 0.05. R (version 4.1.2) is
used to conduct the complete analysis. Results: The
gingival plaque index was significantly reduced by both
CHX gluconate and H2O2 mouthwashes, but not as
much as in the control group. Combining mouthwash
with 0.2% CHX gluconate was an efficient treatment
for participants with severe SRP in lowering the
gingival index and plaque index. Conclusion: CHX
gluconate was found to be more effective than H2O2 at
reducing plaque and gingival index.
