- Abstract
Chronic periodontal diseases are bacterial infections affecting the periodontium resulting in the loss of tooth support and are associated with bacteremia, inflammation, strong immune response and important tissue destroy. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of scaling and root planing (SRP) on gingival mucosa from generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) patients. The evaluation was performed by light microscopy (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results were compared to those from untreated GCP controls. GCP subjects important epithelium and subepitelial lesions, PMN infiltrates and bacteria were visualized. After SRP gingival epithelium regenerated, leukocyte infiltrate decreased, and no bacteria was in the biopsy tissue. Conclusion: These findings conclusively reveal the possible use of SRP as a treatment tool for generalized chronic periodontitis patients.
