Abstract

Background: Nanomaterials are widely explored in Periodontics, as well as controlled drug release in forms of hollow spheres, core-shell, nanotubes and other active components. The present study was conducted to assess wound healing using Nano-crystalline silver membrane placed following periodontal flap surgery. Materials & Methods: 60 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis of both genders were divided into 2 groups of 30 each. Group I received a nano-crystalline silver dressing and group II received non-eugenol dressing. Flap surgery in each patient was carried out. Parameters such as wound healing index, microbiological analysis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were recorded at the 7^th and 14^th day postoperatively. Results: Patients in group I received a nano-crystalline silver dressing and in group II, non-eugenol dressing. Group I had 14 males and 16 females and group II had 12 males and 18 females. The mean healing index on 7^th day was 3.75 and 2.28 in group I and II and 4.12 and 3.14 in in group I and II on 14^th day respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). CFU/ml (X10⁶) pre- operatively and post- operatively was 3.4 and 1.6 and 1.5 and 1.8 in group I and II respectively.
