Results of the initial phase of periodontal therapy in chronic periodontitis patients performed by students
Aim: To evaluate the results of the initial phase of periodontal therapy of chronic periodontitis (CP) performed by the fifth-year dental students. Materials and methods: Fifty patients (28 female, 22 male), aged 30– 63 (mean 46.5) years, diagnosed with CP were examined and bleeding on probing (BoP), probing pocket depth (PPD), and gingival retraction (GR) were recorded ; clinical attachement level (CAL) and clinical attachment gain (CAG) were calculated before (group BEF), 6– 8 weeks (group AFT) and six months after the end of the therapy. Results were statistically analyzed using Mann– Whitney U test. Results: The difference between groups BEF and AFT in GR was not statistically significant (group BEF: 1.12 mm ; group AFT: 1.61 mm ; P > 0.05). The difference in BoP (group BEF: 1.76 ; group AFT: 0.79), PPD (group BEF: 2.88 mm ; group AFT: 2.28 mm) and CAL (group BEF: 3.91 mm ; group AFT: 3.48 mm) were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Mean value of CAG was 0.26 mm. Comparison of the patients with mild (CAL< 3 mm) and severe (CAL> 5 mm) CP showed that the difference in PPD was statistically significant before, but not after the therapy. Results after six months were not statistically different from these after 6– 8 weeks. Conclusion: Results indicate that the initial phase of periodontal therapy performed by students was successful. This proves the importance of keeping record of patients’ periodontal status before and after the therapy ; thus the students can become aware of the impact of their work.
