The effectiveness of Chlorhexidine in combination with

Hydrogen peroxide in treating Necrotizing Ulcerative

Gingivitis: a case study

Abstract

Aims: This before and after study aimed to assess and compare the relative clinical success of Chlorhexidine in

combination with hydrogen peroxide in effectively treating the signs and symptoms of Necrotizing ulcerative

gingivitis at 9 day intervals over a one month period.

Methods: a Patient presenting with Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis (n=1) was subject to an antimicrobial

regime consisting of 10ml of chlorhexidine gluconate (2%) and 10ml of hydrogen peroxide (1.5%), twice daily, in

9 day cycles, over the length of 1 month. This was evaluated by comparing intra oral photographs and pain

scales taken at the first and last visit. Frequency was assessed with the use of a chart and compliance was

evaluated by comparing this chart with standardized measurements of weight. Pertinent literature was reviewed

to select articles according to previously defined inclusion criteria.

Results: chlorhexidine gluconate (2%) and hydrogen peroxide (1.5%) significantly reduced the clinical

characteristics of Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis in the patient with regards to inflammation and associated

pain.

Conclusion: although the outcome of this study showed a positive reduction in the severity of the signs and

symptoms of Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis, the clinical significance of chlorhexidine and hydrogen peroxide

is inconclusive. However it may have implications in the management of such periodontal conditions.

Periodontal disease is a term used to describe

inflammation of the periodontal tissues and can

present in many forms (1). Studies show that it is

mostly caused by the accumulation of bacterial

plaque and poor oral hygiene where other factors

such as environmental, genetic and systemic

factors can contribute to periodontal disease

pathogenesis (2-4).

Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis

The 5th classification of periodontal disease is NUG

which is different from other periodontal diseases in

that it presents with necrosis of the gingival tissues

(2, 5). This is a rare disease and has been shown

that its prevalence is higher in patients with poor

oral hygiene (2, 3, 5, 6). The cause of NUG is

similar to other periodontal diseases in that it is

mainly cause by bacterial plaque, although

3

Page 4: Kyrrolos Hanna - single EBP case study

Kyrrolos Hanna, Latrobe university of Bendigo, 2015

additional dynamics can contribute to its

pathogenesis such as stress, socioeconomic status,

smoking, and an altered host resistance (1, 2, 5).

Recent studies have found that there are specific

bacteria involved in NUG including fusiform

bacteria, Prevotella intermedia, and spirochetes (1,

5, 6).

The clinical signs of NUG can be generalized or

localized with rapid or sudden onset but is more

common in the anterior region of the mouth (2, 5). It

is characterized by a crater-like or “punched out”

interdental papilla, gingival bleeding and intense

pain where features including a fetid breath and a

grayish pseudomembranous film covering an

ulcerated papilla are common clinical appearances

(2, 5, 6). This condition can be accompanied by

secondary conditions such as lymphadenopathy,

fever and malaise which reflects a systemic aspect

to the incidence of NUG (2, 5). It is important to

note that severity can vary from case to case and

diagnosis of NUG should be based on specific

clinical examinations and investigations (see

Appendix 1 table 6) (2, 5). There can also be

differential diagnosis of NUG (see Appendix 2

table 7) (2, 5). The current literature states that the

reduction of oral bacteria, pain management and

providing the patient with specific oral hygiene

instructions are essential in achieving optimum

treatment outcomes (1, 2, 5). Professional removal

of calculus produces a rapid response and is aimed

primarily at reducing etiological factors to reduce or

eliminate inflammation, thereby promoting

periodontal healing (1, 2, 5).

It has been well established that mechanical plaque

removal in adjunction with antimicrobial mouthwash

is effective in inhibiting or reducing supra gingival

plaque formation, especially when mechanical oral

hygiene is difficult or impossible (1, 3, 7-10).

As suggested in the literature, chemotherapeutic

agents can be utilized in not only achieving and

maintaining optimum periodontal health but in

treating NUG(2). This consists of the bactericidal

and bacteriostatic properties of CHX and the

oxygenating effects of H2O2 (3, 9).

Chlorhexidine Gluconate

CHX is classified as a cationic antiseptic and is

found in mouthwash, gels, sprays, varnish and

toothpastes (3, 4, 11-13). This product has a wide

antimicrobial spectrum which effects gram positive

and negative bacteria, resulting in inhibition of

plaque formation (7, 9, 11, 14). It also comes in

varying concentrations where levels of 0.12% and

0.2% have been effective in significantly reducing

plaque and resolving gingivitis (3, 7-11, 14-16). The

Page 5: Kyrrolos Hanna - single EBP case study

Kyrrolos Hanna, Latrobe university of Bendigo, 2015

recommended dosage of CHX is 10 ml of a 0.2%

solution, twice daily and has been shown to reduce

plaque by approximately 60% and reduce the

severity of gingivitis by 50–80% (3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12,

14).

CHX acts on the bacterial cell wall by changing the

osmotic equilibrium in the cells membrane (9, 11).

This inevitably leads to cell lysis by precipitation of

bacterial contents (9, 11). The advantages of CHX

are essentially in its substantive abundance in the

mouth due to its binding effect on the hard and soft

tissues, allowing it to accumulate over a long period

after application (3, 9, 11, 14, 17). Studies show

that its effectiveness has been proven many times

over and this is why CHX is widely known as the

gold standard in plaque control (3, 4, 9, 11, 13, 14,

17). Disadvantages to the use of CHX is not only in

its bitter and unpleasant taste, but that repeated use

often produces stains and taste disturbances (4, 9-

11, 13, 16). It is also for this reason that the use of

CHX should be limited to no more than 2 weeks at a

time to reduce the accompanying side effects (9,

10, 13).

Hydrogen Peroxide

H2O2 is classified as an oxygenating, being known

for its use in the management of NUG (2, 4, 9-11).

Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of 1.5%

H2O2 in reducing plaque in the way that it

introduces oxygen to an anaerobic environment and

consequently disrupts the function of anaerobic

bacteria such as those found in the case of NUG (4,

9, 10). In addition, several studies have indicate that

the use of H2O2 can be helpful in controlling dental

stains associated with the use of CHX (4, 10, 11).

This occurs due to oxidation and reduction

reactions incorporated in the mechanisms of H2O2

which release by products that break the alkene

double bonds responsible for tooth discoloration(4).

This essential reduces plaque scores and prevents

stains, thus facilitating the effects of CHX and

assisting in the treatment of NUG(4).

Furthermore, a combination of CHX and H2O2, as

an adjunct to routine mechanical tooth cleansing

can be perceived as a rational implementation in

reducing the clinical signs and symptoms of

necrotizing periodontal diseases(9). This

combination enhances the efficacy of CHX in

reducing plaque formation and therefore

compliments the treatment of NUG(9).

Materials and method

Case description

A 19 year old female studying beauty therapy at

Bendigo TAFE presents to the student clinic for

routine examination. The patient reports that she

smokes 10 cigarettes a day and is concerned about

swollen and bleeding gums with accompanied pain.

Clinical examination shows generalized severe

inflammation of the gingiva, punched out papilla and

a greyish film along the cervical margins which is

descriptive of Type 5 A Necrotizing Ulcerative

Gingivitis.

Intervention

5

Page 6: Kyrrolos Hanna - single EBP case study

Kyrrolos Hanna, Latrobe university of Bendigo, 2015

The patient was given instructions to rinse with a

capful (10ml) of Colgate Savacol (alcohol free) for 2

minutes, 30 minutes after brushing and half a capful

(10ml) of Colgate Peroxyl for 1 minute after

Savacol. The patient was also instructed to limit

their use to twice a day for 9 day cycles due to

availability of appointment scheduling and evidence

based recommendations. Intra-oral photographs

were taken of the frontal view of the anterior teeth

for baseline characteristics and stored onto Digora

imaging software. A pain scale was provided to the

patient to illustrate sensitivity and intensity of

associated pain. The patient was requested to

supply a chart entailing the frequency of use for the

9 day intervals which was tallied upon final

evaluation.

Assessment

The effectiveness of the use of CHX and H2O2 was

evaluated by assessing visual characteristics and

recording pain expressed by the patient in the form

of a second pain scale. Intra oral photographs were

taken for a second time and compared with the

initial intra oral photographs. Observation of

characteristics such as inflammation, punched out

papilla and greyish film along the cervical margin

were key criteria in the comparison of the before

and after photos.

Patient compliance

Validity of the patient’s compliance to this regime

was tested by gaining set values of weight and

using simple conversions to solve the rate of

frequency. The standardized weights for both

Savacol and Peroxyl that needed to be solved

included the original weight of the bottle (where vs is

360g and vp is 295g), the weight of the bottle alone

(where bs is 38g and bp is 36g), the weight of the

cap alone (where cs is 11g and cp is 6g) and the

weight of 10ml of solution (where ws is 11g and wp

is 11g).

Note: Lower case scripts illustrate the bottle in

question, (i.e.) ‘s’ for Savacol and ‘p’ for Peroxyl.

The bottles were then weighed at the 9th and 27th

day in the regime and deducted from the original

6

Page 7: Kyrrolos Hanna - single EBP case study

Kyrrolos Hanna, Latrobe university of Bendigo, 2015

standard weights to establish how much solution

was actually removed from the bottle. The

difference was then divided by the suggested

volumes of 10ml to figure out how many times this

specific dosage was taken. The results were then

cross referenced with the chart provided by the

patient in order to investigate credibility of the chart

(see table 5).

The following formulations were developed in order

to calculate the exact amount of Savacol and

Peroxyl used during the 1st and 2nd cycles.

compared to the one taken at the

last visit showed a noteworthy

improvement with regards to the

inflammation of the gingivae, color of the gingivae, physical appearance of the papilla and presence of a grayish

film along the cervical margin.

In addition, the associated pain expressed by the patient at the initial examination compared with the pain

expressed at the final visit was substantially reduced.

As suggested by the chart supplied, the patient reported that there was a steady intake of Savacol and Peroxyl

in the first cycle whereas there was two evening sessions that were not recorded in the second cycle.

Statistical tests

According to table 6 the frequency

reported by the patient in their chart did

not correlate with the results of the

volumes measured in the first cycle but

was more accurate at the following

cycle. The readings obtained show that

by the 9th day reported usage was <

the exact usage and

that by the 27th day reported usage

was more or less the same.

Discussion

Qualitative data analysis was interpreted by

comparing the results observed with the use of the

pain scale and intraoral photographs. Validity and

reliability of the implementation of these products

was conducted through analysis of charts and

volumetric measurements. The results gathered

supported the evidence that the combination of

CHX and H2O2 is effective in treating NUG (2, 4, 5,

10, 14, 18, 19). It was clear that there had been

improvement in regards to visual signs associated

with NUG with regards to inflammation and redness

of the gingivae. Similarly the results showed a

distinctive reduction in the severity of pain

expressed by the patient and this in turn endorses

the current views of studies in this area (2).

Limitations

Upon further assessment of the patient’s medical

history it was revealed that the patient had

undertaken a course of antibiotic therapy

(Metronidazole) during the period of

implementation. This has been identified as an

extraneous variable that could have affected the

results of this intervention and essentially renders

the effect of the chemical aids as partially

inaccurate (1, 2, 5). Although the current literature

suggests that antibiotic therapy is recommended in

the case of systemic toxicity (1, 2, 5), this additional

variable could have taken part in the reduction of

the clinical signs and symptoms of NUG. Hence the

true success of these aids is questionable due to

the potential interference of the course of antibiotic

therapy.

With regards to credibility of the reported use, it was

observed that there was a noteworthy difference

between the first and second cycle. The statistical

tests in place were developed in order to ensure

patient compliance and ensure adherence to the

instructions provided. However this only had a

direct effect after the first test was conducted after

the first cycle. It can be established that this

assessment provided the patient with the directive

for stringent adherence to the regime and therefore

the results may not decipher if these chemical aids

were effective with regards to user-friendliness

aspects.

In light of the large discrepancy between the

reported usage and measured usage in the first

cycle, the results up to that point were not reflective

of one another and therefore a detailed picture of

intake cannot be made. With regards to the two

sessions missed in the second cycle, it could not be

established as to whether the times were forgotten

or that the patient simply did not record them for

those intervals.

In addition, the results of the measured use of

Peroxyl was 1 capful less than the reported use of

Peroxyl in the second cycle. In retrospect,

consideration of spillage must be taken into account

when equating these two measurements. However,

in view of the remarkable effect of this combination

this variable has been deemed insignificant in

tarnishing the validity of the recognized outcomes.

It is important to note that the use of the pain scale

may limit the ability to assess the true reduction in

10

Page 11: Kyrrolos Hanna - single EBP case study

Kyrrolos Hanna, Latrobe university of Bendigo, 2015

pain intensity due to its subjective nature and so

marginal error is expected. This however was

slightly controlled by using the same operator and

surgery to produce a similar environment.

Another limitation is the fact that patient treatment

was undertaken during the implementation of these

aids. The variable of debridement in this given time

could have played a role in the reduction of the

signs and symptoms of NUG and therefore also

deems the results inaccurate.

Conclusion

The outcome of this study showed a positive

reduction in the severity of the signs and symptoms

of Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis with the use of

chlorhexidine and hydrogen peroxide. However the

limitations of antibiotic therapy, spillage, periodontal

treatment and the subjective nature of the

expression of pain diminished conclusive evidence

for this intervention. Furthermore, a larger sample

size and an extended period of time would have

proved beneficial and produced a clear outcome on

the benefits of chlorhexidine and hydrogen peroxide

in the treatment of Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis.
