Abstract
Gingivitis and periodontitis are common oral pathological conditions. Several optional adjunctive local therapies are used clinically. While antibiotics and chlorhexidine are the most common agents of choice, their long-term use is associated with several adverse effects. Some of these include staining of teeth and restorations, cellular cytotoxicity and hypersensitivity. Topical oxygen therapy has been recently introduced and could be clinically capable of inhibiting plaque bacterial biofilm growth. Available as a mouthwash, toothpaste and oral gel, this formulation comprises cellulose, glycerol and sodium peroxoborate, and releases topical oxygen in a controlled manner. Moreover, it releases topical oxygen, in a controlled manner, and lactoferrin, which are capable of antibacterial action and stimulation of bone cells, respectively. The aim of this paper is to report a case of gingivitis and another case of periodontitis, both of which were successfully treated clinically with adjunctive local oxygen therapy (blue®m). Additionally, this paper aims to review the relevant literature in terms of adjunct topical or local therapies used in the treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis, in order to understand how local therapies are helpful and to know if local oxygen therapy is a suitable clinical alternative.
