Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of chlorhexidine-thymol varnish (CervitecPlus(®)) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the improvement of periodontal parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A split mouth randomized clinical trial was conducted in 25 subjects with chronic periodontitis receiving scaling and root planing alone and as an adjunct tochlorhexidine-thymol varnish (Cervitec Plus(®)) and chlorhexidine-thymol varnish (CervitecPlus(®)) alone. Clinical examinations were performed at baseline, 1 month and 3 months. RESULTS: Short term advantages were observed in the clinical parameters in subjects receiving scaling and root planing and an adjunct, chlorhexidine-thymol varnish (CervitecPlus(®)) who showed the greatest improvement in the periodontal parameters at 3 months. CONCLUSION:Subjects with chronic periodontitis significantly benefit from scaling and root planing when used with an adjunct, chlorhexidine-thymol varnish (CervitecPlus(®)).
