| Publisher Description: The various studies done on chlorhexidine chip have shown that the sustained release of chlorhexidine from an ethyl cellulose based, slow release delivery system effect reduced bacterial count in pockets for at least 17 weeks . Scaling and root planning plus chip verses scaling and root planning alone, showed a significantly greater reduction in probing depth and improvement in attachment level in pocket and even greater improvement in pocket 7mm or greater. |
