EVALUATION OF EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF MINOCLINE STRIP ON CHRONIC MARGINAL PERIODONTITIS

미노클린 첨부제의 만성 변연성 치주염의 치료효과에 대한 유효성과 안전성의 평가

The benefits in using controlled delivery approaches include improved pharmacokinetic response, greater ability to localize the drung adjacent to the disease, and more control of local concentration at a lower total dosage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Minocline strip on chronic marginal periodontitis. Minocline Strip was applied in the periodontal pocket of 94 patients with a clinically diagnosed as a chronic marginal periodontitis, 4 sites for each patients with a 5mm probing pocket depth were selected in split mouth design and were divided into two group, ie., placebo group ($C_1$, $C_2$) and experimental group ($E_1$, $E_2$). Supragingival scaling and oral hygiene instruction were performed 1 week before experiment. Minocline Strip was applied on day 0 and 7, weekly, Clinical and microbiological tests were performed on day 0, 7, 14, 28 and 42. The results were as follows ; 1. Minocline Strip showed significant improvement on Chronic Marginal Periodontitis in 77 patients (82.0%) and improvement rate was more than 66.7% of all investigational items. 2. Only 6 patients complained mild pruritis during the early therapy but not needed discontinuence of the therapy. 3. The availability of Minocline Strip was 72 patients (76.6%) synthetically evaluating efficacy and safety. In conclusion, Minocline Strip appears to be effective and safe for the treatment of Chronic Marginal Periodontitis.
