Aim and Objectives:

To compare and evaluate the clinical efficacy of “ofloxacin incorporated L-PRF” and “L-PRF alone” when used as an adjuvant to non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Materials and Methods:

A split-mouth study was conducted in 50 patients diagnosed as chronic periodontitis with pocket depth ≥6 with at least one site in each quadrant. All patients underwent scaling and root planning. Test site received with ofloxacin incorporated L-PRF and control site received L-PRF alone. Clinical parameters pocket depth (PD), plaque index (PI), and gingival bleeding index (GBI) were recorded at baseline and 1 month after scaling and root planning.

Results:

In total, 100 sites were treated (50 test group and 50 control group) with no uneventful healing effects. Statistically significant decreases in PD (P = .0001 for both test and control groups), PI (P = .001), GBI (P = .001 for both groups), between pre-treatment and 1 month post-treatment were noted in both test and control groups. For intergroup comparisons, there was a statistically significant difference in all clinical indices (P > .005).

Conclusion:

Use of L-PRF with ofloxacin as an adjuvant to non-surgical periodontal therapy showed better improvements in clinical parameters.
