Minocycline Ointment Combined with Chlorhexidine Gargle in the Treatment of Elderly Patients with Chronic Periodontitis
Objective: To analyze the effect of minocycline ointment combined with chlorhexidine gargle in elderly patients with chronic periodontitis. Methods: 64 elderly patients with chronic periodontitis were selected and randomly divided into two groups from January to December 2024, with 32 patients in each group. The study group was treated with minocycline ointment combined with chlorhexidine gargle, and the control group was treated with compound iodine glycerin. Results: compared with the control group, the level of inflammatory factors in the study group after treatment was significantly lower, the periodontal clinical indicators after treatment were significantly lower, the treatment effect was significantly higher, and the score of oral health impact Scale-14 after treatment was significantly lower, p < 0.05. The levels of inflammatory factors, periodontal clinical indicators, and oral health impact Scale-14 scores before treatment were compared between the two groups, p > 0.05. Conclusion: the effect of minocycline ointment combined with chlorhexidine gargle in elderly patients with chronic periodontitis is ideal.
