Abstract:

 Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the effects of subgingival irrigation of curcumin as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in  the treatment of chronic periodontitis.  Methods: 60 patients aged 30-50 years with chronic periodontitis recruited; 20 patients received subgingival irrigation of 1% of  curcumin solution, 20 patients received subgingival irrigation of 0.12% of chlorhexidine solution, and 20 patients received scaling and  root planing only (SRP). Pocket irrigation was conducted at baseline, 3, and 7 days after scaling and root planing. Clinical parameters  and blood samples were collected at baseline before therapy and after two months of treatment to estimate the levels of total protein  (TP), C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme.  Results: Significant reduction of clinical and biochemical parameters after two months of treatment in the curcumin group (P0.05), with the exception of  the gingival index and biochemical parameters (P<0.05).  Conclusions: Curcumin can be effectively used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing as chlorhexidine in chronic periodontitis due  to the reduction of clinical parameters and inflammatory chemical markers; CRP, TP, and ALP enzyme.
