  1. AZITHROMYCIN AS AN ADJUNCTIVE TREATMENT OF GENERALIZED SEVERE CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS: CLINICAL, MICROBIOLOGIC AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS Buket Han, GulnurEmingil, GuvenOzdermir JP 2012

  2. INTRODUCTION • Chronic periodontitis is an infectious disease characterized by occurrence of destruction of periodontal supporting tissues that occurs over an extended period of time. • It is caused by the activity of specific periodontal pathogens that initiate the disease process. • Host factors including infiltrating cell populations, cytokines & matrix metalloproteinases are associated with most periodontal tissue breakdown leading to clinical signs of the disease.

  3. Azithromycin ( Macrolide) is a systemic antibiotic is mainly effective against Gram +ve organisms and is effective against certain Gram –ve organisms including H. influenzae & C. trachomatis. It is a bacteriostatic agent with a t ½ of over 50 hrs. It is used in periodontal therapy because of its favourable pharmacological properties and low incidence of adverse effects. Azithromycin produces potent inhibition of Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonasgingivalis.( Goldstein et al 1999) Azithromycin is concentrated in the neutrophils, macrophages and fibroblasts all of which play a role in pathogenesis of periodontal diseases ( Amsden 2001)

  4. Triple role of azithromycin: • Supressesperiopathogens. • Anti- inflammatory activity • Improves clinical treatment outcome of patients with chronic & aggressive periodontitis. (Smith et al 2002) The concentration of azithromycin in inflammedgingiva is higher than in healthy gingiva. ( Burrell & Walters 2008)

  5. AIM This study examines the efficacy of azithromycin used in combination with non-surgical periodontal therapy on the clinical and microbiological parameters and GCF MMP-8 over a period of 6 months in patients with severe chronic generalized periodontitis.

  6. MATERIALS & METHODS STUDY DESIGN:

  7. INCLUSION CRITERIA: • ≥ 16 teeth present • > 30% sites with ≥ 5mm CAL • ≥ 2 sites with PPD ≥ 6 mm in each quadrant that had BOP EXCLUSION CRITERIA: • Severe medical disorders/ history of systemic illness. • Known hypersensitivity to macrolide. • Those who received antibiotics or undergone periodontal treatment in the past 6 months. • Pregnant females • Smokers ( > 10 cigarettes per day)

  8. TREATMENT: Full mouth SRP was performed; per quadrant on 4 sequential visits. Post SRP Test group : SRP+ Azithromycin 500 mg [ 1 OD for 3 days] Control group: SRP+ Placebo Baseline sampling: 2 days after screening. GCF sampling : 2 weeks 1 month 3 months 6 months Microbiologic sampling: 2 weeks 1 month 6 months

  9. Sites examined: PPD & CAL: 6 sites around each tooth was recorded for full mouth. GCF samples were taken from mesiobuccal aspects of single rooted teeth exhibiting PPD ≥ 6mm. MMP- 8 levels was measured in the GCF by immunofluorescence assay Subgingival plaque sampling was taken from two preselected single rooted teeth with PPD ≥ 6mm.

  10. Quantitative real time PCR was performed with hydridization probes using species specific probes for 5 periodontopathic pathogens. Porphyromonasgingivalis Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans Prevotellaintermedia Tannerella forsythia and Fusobacteriumnucleatum.

  14. DISCUSSION • In sites of pocket ≥ 7 mm there was a reduction of approximately 4.4 mm and pockets initially 4 to 6 mm there was a reduction of approximately 2.4mm in both groups. • Both the groups had almost same percentage of pockets converting from ≥7 mm to ≤ 4 mm. • Both the groups had almost similar MMP 8 levels during the course of treatment. • The decrease in MMP 8 level in both the groups after SRP suggests the effectiveness of non- surgical therapy in decreasing the bacterial load. Azithromycin does not have any additional effect on GCF MMP 8 levels. • Among the periodontal pathogens investigated all tend to reappear 6 months after treatment. F. nucleatum alone shows greater reduction than the control group.

RELATED STUDIES Effects of Full-Mouth Scaling and Root Planing in Conjunction With Systemically Administered AzithromycinKazuhiro Gomiet al (JP 2007) A double-blind placebo-controlled trial of azithromycin as an adjunct to non-surgical treatment of periodontitis in adults: clinical results. S. R. Smithet al(JCP 2002) Azithromycin as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment ofPorphyromonasgingivalis-associated periodontitis: a pilot study Alfonso Oteo et al (JCP 2010) Clinical and microbiological effects of azithromycin in the treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis: a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial Eduardo Sampaioet al (JCP 2011) Mascarenhas(2005) & Traven.S (2007) showed that Azithromycin + SRP was beneficial in smokers with Chronic periodontitis.

  16. CONCLUSION • Although Azithromycin is a promising drug for treatment of various infections due to its easy dose regime and pharmacological actions, the data from the present studies suggests no added benefit in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. • The effect on Azithromycin on Fusobacteriumnucleatum may be beneficial to some extent. • Teles et al suggested that rapid reduction in periopathogens and an increase in beneficial species ratio is needed to achieve major clinical benefits. This ratio is difficult to achieve using a bacteriostatic agent such as Azithromycin.
