[Clinical studies on crevicular fluid of abutment tooth. 3. Effect of tannin-fluoride preparation on gingival health].
It was examined, in this study, whether the tannin-fluoride preparation (HY preparation), which might have a caries reductive, plaque inhibiting and astringent action, could reduce the incidence of gingival inflammation around abutment teeth for removable partial dentures. Zinc oxide eugenol cement mixed with HY preparation filled in the cavity prepared in the resin base facing the abutment tooth. Crevicular fluid (Periotron unit: GCF), gingival index (GI), plaque index (PII), probing depth and caries activity around the abutment tooth were measured during 12 months. The following results were obtained: 1. GCF decreased at 1 month later and showed low values at 2, 3, 6 and 12 months. 2. The percentage of low GI value showed an increasing tendency during the experimental period. 3. There was slight variation in PII and probing depth during the experimental period. 4. Caries activity showed a decreasing tendency. These results indicate that the tannin-fluoride preparation reduces not only caries activity but also gingival inflammation around abutment tooth.
