They underwent SRP and received oral hygiene instructions (OHI). Three months later, at baseline, a single persistent pocket with a probing depth (PD) of 5\u20139\u2003mm was chosen as the experimental site in each patient; the subjects were stratified into three matched experimental groups on the basis of the treatment to be performed, which consisted of the subgingival administration of 1% metronidazole gel (MG,<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=19), 1% chlorhexidine gel (CG,<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=20) or placebo gel (PG,<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=24). The treatments consisted of four repeated administrations of subgingival gels, each separated by 7 days, starting at the baseline. Clinical assessment was performed at the baseline and at the 180\u2010day follow\u2010up, after the end of treatment. For microbiological evaluations, subgingival plaque was sampled from the experimental sites at baseline, prior to the first subgingival gel administration, and at 7, 15, 30 and 90 days after the end of the treatment (days 28, 36, 51 and 111 from baseline).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>Plaque accumulation did not change significantly in all three groups. Bleeding on probing and clinical attachment levels reduced in the MGs and CGs only. PD was significantly reduced by the same amount in all experimental groups. In the MGs and CGs a remarkable reduction in the frequencies of detection of several periodontopathic micoorganisms was recorded after the treatment. The same was not seen for the PGs.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>Subgingival administration of MG or CG, both at 1%, may have a role in the management of persistent pockets during chronic periodontitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051x.2004.00481.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,3,9]],"date-time":"2004-03-09T12:43:04Z","timestamp":1078836184000},"page":"282-285","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Clinical and microbiological effects of subgingival administration of two active gels on persistent pockets of chronic periodontitis patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Perinetti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Paolantonio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Cordella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simonetta","family":"D'Ercole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emanuela","family":"Serra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raffaele","family":"Piccolomini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"41","article-title":"Comparison of the clinical effects of subgingival application of metronidazole 25% gel and scaling in the treatment of adult periodontitis","volume":"29","author":"Awartani F.
