Abstract [en]

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome in patients with recurrent periodontal disease following treatment with 25% metronidazole gel. METHODS: Twenty subjects in a maintenance care program but with recurrent periodontal disease participated. Three months after scaling and root planing, a total of 40 sites, 2 in each patient, with probing depth > or = 5 mm were selected. One site randomly selected was treated with metronidazole gel (test) and the other site with a placebo gel (control). Baseline and follow-up measurements included plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL). RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in PI, GI, BOP, PD, or CAL between test and control sites. CONCLUSION: This study showed that local treatment with 25% metronidazole gel did not seem to influence the clinical healing in this group of subjects with recurrent periodontal disease.

Abstract [sv]

Parodontit är en infektionssjukdom som orsakas av munhålans normala bakterieflora samt faktorer i infektionsförsvaret. Det inflammatoriska svaret fungerar som ett skydd för värden men är samtidigt vävnadsnedbrytande. Detta är anledningen till förlust av tandens stödjevävnader. De flesta individer har tandköttsinflammation (gingivit) men betydligt färre har parodontit. Utan behandling progredierar parodontiten och till slut lossnar tanden. Oberoende av etnicitet drabbas 10-15 % i en vuxen befolkning av grav parodontit.Målet med den här avhandlingen har varit att undersöka individer som har ökad risk för parodontit. Fyra studier utfördes på 2 olika individgrupper: -Patienter med behandlad parodontit under parodontal stödbehandling, men med tecken på sjukdomsprogression, behandlade på specialistkliniken för Parodontologi i Malmö, FTV Skåne, Sverige. Studie I-III. -Individer med typ 2 diabetes (T2D), i ett lokalt diabetesregister på Universitetsjukhuset, UMAS, i Malmö, Sverige. Studie IV. -I delarbete I undersöktes den kliniska effekten av behandling av parodontit med en lokal antibiotikagel jämfört med en placebo gel.I delarbete II undersöktes den mikrobiologiska effekten av behandling av parodontit med samma antibiotikagel som i arbete I. I delarbete III undersöktes genetiska variationer i generna för IL-1α, IL-1β och IL-6 hos individer med parodontit jämfört med parodontalt friska individer. I delarbete IV undersöktes individer med T2D avseende prevalens av parodontit och förekomsten av diabeteskomplikationer i relation till graden av parodontit. Dessutom undersöktes om det var någon skillnad mellan tandvårdsvanor och kunskap om oral hälsa hos T2D individer med eller utan parodontit. Konklusionen av den här avhandlingen är att behandling av parodontit med lokal antibiotikagel inte resulterar i någon signifikant skillnad avseende kliniska och mikrobiologiska parametrar i en grupp parodontitbehandlade patienter under stödbehandling. Dessutom har inga skillnader avseende genetiska variationer i Il-1α, IL-1β och IL-6 kunnat påvisas mellan individer med eller utan parodontit. Prevalensen av parodontit är 20% hos individer med T2D, vilket är högre än för övrigt friska individer. Individer med T2D och parodontit har sämre blodsockerreglering, signifikant högre prevalens av hjärt-kärl komplikationer och röker i större utsträckning jämfört med parodontalt friska T2D individer. Avslutningsvis verkar det som att individer med T2D saknar tillräcklig kunskap om oral hälsa.

Abstract [en]

Periodontal disease is an infectious disease initiated by microbial plaque, which accumulates on the tooth surface at the gingival margin and induces an inflammatory reaction. The function of the inflammatory process is to protect the host, however the process may also contribute to tissue destruction. Most individuals show gingival inflammation, but only a limited number suffer from periodontitis i.e. loss of attachment. Without treatment, periodontitis will result in tooth mobility and subsequent tooth mortality.Independent of ethnicity, 10%-15% of an adult population will develop severe periodontitis The aim of this thesis has been to analyse individuals at risk for periodontal disease.Four studies have been conducted in 2 different groups of individuals with: - Recurrent periodontitis kept in a maintenance care program - studies I-III. - Type 2 diabetes (T2D) - study IV. In study I, the clinical effect of local periodontitis treatment with an antibiotic gel was investigated. In study II, the microbiological effect of periodontitis treatment with the same antibiotic gel as in study I was investigated.In study III, it was investigated whether the interleukin-1 (IL-1a and b) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility of chronic periodontitis.In study IV, the prevalence of periodontitis in individuals with T2D was investigated, together with the prevalence of diabetic complications in relation to periodontal disease. We also studied whether there was a difference in dental care habits and knowledge of oral health between T2D subjects with and without periodontal disease. In conclusion, this thesis did not find any significant clinical and microbiological differences between subjects with recurrent periodontal disease treated with a locally delivered metronidazole gel compared to a placebo gel. Neither could we find an association between genetic variants in the IL-1a, IL-1b and IL-6 genes in individuals with or without periodontal disease. The prevalence of severe periodontitis, according to radiographic criteria, was almost 20% in subjects with T2D. This was further confirmed by clinical parameters. T2D individuals with periodontal disease demonstrated a higher HbA1c level, a higher prevalence of cardiovascular complications and a higher proportion of smokers compared to periodontally healthy T2D subjects. Finally, T2D individuals seem to lack sufficient knowledge about oral health.
