Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore the efficacy and safety of ornidazole combined with periodontal tissue regeneration in the treatment of periodontitis. METHODS: From March 2018 to March 2019, 100 patients with periodontitis who received treatment in the Stomatological Hospital Affiliated to the School of Medicine of Nanjing University were selected and randomly divided into the regeneration group and combined treatment group with 50 patients in each group. Patients in the regeneration group received periodontal tissue regeneration treatment, while patients in the combined treatment group received ornidazole combined periodontal tissue regeneration treatment. Related periodontal indexes including periodontal probing depth(PPD), periodontal attachment level(PAL), tooth mobility degree(MD) were measured, serum malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (gsh-px) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) and interleukin 4 (IL-4), c-reactive protein(CRP) level and immune globulin level were detected before and after treatment, the therapeutic effects and complications were recorded and compared. SPSS 21.0 software package was used for statistical analysis of the data. RESULTS: After treatment, PPD, PAL and MD levels in the combined treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the regenerative group (P<0.05). Serum MDA level in the combined treatment group was significantly lower than that in the regenerative group, SOD and gsh-px levels were significantly higher than that in the regenerative group(P<0.05). The serum levels of IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE, IL-10, IL-4 and CRP in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the regenerative treatment group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of the regenerative treatment group, and the incidence of complications was significantly lower than that of the regenerative group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Ornidazole combined with periodontal tissue regeneration can improve the level of periodontal index, alleviate oxidative stress injury, improve immune function, inhibit inflammation, and has a significant therapeutic effect with high safety.
