The aim of the present short-term follow-up study was to assess the effects of scaling and root planing (SRP) with or without adjunctive use of an essential-oil-based mouthwash in the treatment of periodontal inflammation in smokers.
In total, 120 individuals were divided into 2 groups. In Group-1, 60 smokers with periodontal inflammation received SRP alone; and in Group-2, 60 smokers with periodontal inflammation received adjunct essential-oil mouthwash therapy. Periodontal parameters (plaque index [PI], bleeding-on-probing [BOP], and probing pocket depth [PD] ≥ 4 mm) were assessed at baseline and after 90 days of treatment.
There was no significant difference in periodontal parameters (PI, BOP, and PD ≥ 4 mm) among participants in Group-1 and -2. Participants in both groups showed significant reductions in PI (P < 0.01), BOP (P < 0.01), and PD ≥ 4 mm (P < 0.01) at follow-up compared to baseline. At 90 days of follow-up, PI (P < 0.05), BOP (P < 0.05), and PD ≥ 4 mm (P < 0.05) were significantly higher in Group-1 compared to Group-2.
SRP with adjunct essential-oil mouthwash therapy is more effective in the treatment of periodontal inflammation in smokers as compared to when SRP is performed alone.
本短期随访研究的目的是评估龈上洁治和根面平整（SRP）联合或不联合使用含精油漱口水治疗吸烟者牙周炎的效果。
总共120人被分为2组。在第1组中，60名患有牙周炎的吸烟者仅接受SRP治疗；在第2组中，60名患有牙周炎的吸烟者接受辅助精油漱口水治疗。在基线和治疗90天后评估牙周参数（菌斑指数[PI]、探诊出血[BOP]和探诊袋深度[PD]≥4mm）。
第1组和第2组参与者的牙周参数（PI、BOP和PD≥4mm）无显著差异。与基线相比，两组参与者在随访时PI（P<0.01）、BOP（P<0.01）和PD≥4mm（P<0.01）均显著降低。在随访90天时，第1组的PI（P<0.05）、BOP（P<0.05）和PD≥4mm（P<0.05）显著高于第2组。
与单独进行SRP相比，SRP联合辅助精油漱口水治疗吸烟者牙周炎更有效。
