Abstract

Gingivitis is one type of periodontal disease and it is chronic in nature. The main etiological factor of gingivitis is bacterialplaque. Untreated gingivitis can spread to underlying tissues and it can become periodontitis and produce tissuedestruction. One of the treatments for gingivitis is plaque removal, helped by antibacterial mouthrinsing to reducebacterial plaque. Lawsonia inermis L. leaves have been used by Indonesian villagers for healing skin wounds andreported to show antibacterial effect in vitro and in vivo. This study aimed to determine the effect of Lawsonia inermis L.leaves infusion in gingivitis healing. A total of 63 gingivitis patients devided into 5 groups were instructed to rinse with 3concentrations (50000 µg/mL, 10000 µg/mL, 5000 µg/mL) of Lawsonia inermis L. leaves infusion; 0.1% hexetidinesolution, and placebo as control. Papilla Bleeding Index (PBI) used in measurement for bleeding on probing. The resultshowed that decreasing of PBI in Lawsonia inermis L. leaves infusion at 10000 µg/mL concentratation (80%), wasstronger than hexetidine 0.1% (76%). In conclusion, Lawsonia inermis L. leaves infusion effective to reduce PBI betterthan hexetidine. In conclusion, Lawsonia inermis L. leaves is effective to treat gingivitis.

Abstract

Individuals with aggressive periodontitis (AP) can have a heritable risk factors related to the bacterial floras, immunological responses and leukocyte functions. This study aimed to characterize indicators and differences between the two subclasses of AP. A series of clinical parameters and full mouth dental radiographs was obtained from 27 consenting AP patients. After sampling of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and peripheral blood, the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was measured from GCF by enzymatic method. The proportion of lymphocyte subpopulations was measured from blood by flow cytometry, and titter of immunoglobulin G against Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) fimbriae was determined from serum by ELISA. The results classified the subjects into eight subjects with mild AP (AP1) and 19 subjects with severe AP (AP2). From all indicators tested, we concluded that the GCF ALP was the one which was 100% specific for AP2, though with 76.9% sensitivity and 77.8% accuracy; and that AP1 and AP2 are different types of early-onset periodontitis (EOP), of which AP1 does not progress into AP2.
