Celecoxib Decreases Gcf Prostaglandin E2 Levels in Chronic Periodontitis Patients

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a key mediator associated with periodontal bone loss. We recently demonstrated (Yen, et al, J Periodontology 79:104, 2008) that adjunctive use of Celecoxib (a COX-2 selective inhibitor) in conjunction with Scaling and Root Planning (SRP) resulted in significant reduction in Pocket Depth (PD) and gain in Clinical Attachment (CAL) in Chronic Periodontitis (CP) patients.
