NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR LOCAL ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY OF INFLAMMATORY PERIODONTAL DISEASES AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF CHRONIC GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS

This article explores the connection between chronic gastrointestinal diseases and inflammatory periodontal conditions, highlighting the high prevalence of periodontitis in patients with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders. The presence of  “Helicobacter pylori” in the oral cavity, particularly in periodontal pockets, may contribute to the persistence and relapse of both gastric and periodontal diseases. The study evaluates the local use of  “Metrogil Denta Professional” gel , combining metronidazole and chlorhexidine , as an effective treatment in managing oral inflammation associated with duodenal ulcer disease. The findings show promising outcomes in reducing inflammation and improving periodontal health in patients with concurrent GIT pathology.
