Antiphlogistics in periodontology

In 146 individuals with inflammatory periodontal disease the authors verified the therapeutical effect of Sanchelin (the mixture of sanguinarine and chelerythrine in 0.05% concentration) in gel (4% hydrogel carboxymethylcellulose) applied into pockets and in aqueous solution administered in the intrapapillar route. The effect of Sanchelin in solution was compared with the effect of 2% hydrocortison in the same way of administration. The clinical condition of periodontium and the quality of oral hygiene was evaluated by means of indexes and papillae were examined histologically. The authors demonstrated that Sanchelin in gel is an effective drug in treatment of inflammatory periodontal disease. They observed lesser effectivity when intrapapillar administration of Sanchelin in solution was used.
