statement of the problem subgingival irrigation with an antimicrobial agent after scaling and root planing (srp) is assumed to be able to kill the bacteria left behind after mechanical debridement. 3% h2o2 is used in the treatment of periodontal disease and it has been shown effective in killing anaerobic pathogens. purpose the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects of subgingiv...

The primary purpose of irrigation is to nonspecifically reduce the bacteria and their by-products that lead to the initiation or progression of periodontal diseases. Supragingival irrigation allows for the disruption and dilution of marginal bacteria and their by-products which helps to prevent or treat gingivitis. Subgingival irrigation interferes with the complex ecosystem required for the in...

OBJECTIVES Budesonide nasal irrigation was introduced recently for postoperative management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The safety and therapeutic effectiveness of this procedure is becoming accepted by many physicians. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative steroid irrigation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma. METHODS This pros...

PURPOSE The efficacy of antibiotic therapy for acute sinusitis is controversial. This study aimed to compare the efficacies of amoxicillin with nasal irrigation and nasal irrigation alone for acute sinusitis in children. METHODS This randomized, double-blind, controlled study included 80 children aged 4-15 years with a clinical presentation of acute sinusitis. Patients were randomly assigned ...

OBJECTIVE We studied the relationship between the severity of inflammation and IL-1beta production and relative expression level of IL-1beta mRNA in irrigation fluid and synovial tissue obtained from the knee joint during the acute stage of a murine model of type II collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA). This model is used to identify potential therapeutic markers for treating rheumatoid a...

We sought to explore the therapeutic potential of xylitol irrigations in treating chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Saline irrigation, which has been shown to be beneficial for patients with rhinosinusitis, served as an accepted standard treatment for comparison. We conducted a prospective, randomized, crossover study to compare the therapeutic value of saline versus xylitol irrigations in patients...
