Clinical Effects of the Tooth Paste Containing Lysozyme Chloride on Chronic Marginal Periodontitis

Abstract

In the present study it was carried out for assessment of the tooth paste containing lysozyme chloride on chronic marginal periodontitis. 26 patients with chronic marginal periodontitis were divided into two groups. One group was treated with the tooth paste containing lysozyme chloride, and another group was treated with the tooth paste containing no lysozyme chloride. From clinical evaluations after 2 weeks or 4 weeks, we obtained the following results.
1. The tooth paste containing lysozyme chloride was more efficient than the tooth paste containing no lysozyme chloride on subjective symptoms of chronic marginal periodontitis.
2. On objective symptom, each tooth paste had marginal effects, but the tooth paste containing with lysozyme chloride had a marked improvement on halitosis. The inflammation assed by redness, swelling, pus discharge and bleeding was reduced after 4 weeks in the group who was treated with the tooth paste containing lysozyme chloride.
3. During the period of their use, no side effects had been observed. Judging from the above results, the tooth paste containing lysozyme chloride was useful for treatment of marginal periodontal disease patients.
