The Effectiveness Of Traditional Chinese Medicine On Periodontitis During Nearly30Years-a Metal Analysis

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Traditional Chinese medicine in thetreatment of periodontitis, which will provide a scientific basis for the advantages of traditionalChinese medicine in the treatment of periodontitis, looking for the best solution in the clinicaltreatment of periodontitis.Method Searching literatures what were published from January1979to February2014,andthe electric-databases including:①China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI)②PubMed③Chinese Selected Doctoral Dissertations and Master’s Theses Full-Text Databases(CDMD)④Wanfang database⑤The Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM)⑥Cochrane Library.Chinese to"periodontitis"or"periodontal disease" as keywords for the first time to retrievaland"Traditional Chinese medicine"or "combined traditional and western medicine" as keyword forthe secondary to retrieval;English to"periodontal diseases"or"periodontitis"as keywords for the firsttime to retrieval and"Traditional Chinese medicine"or"combined traditional and Westernmedicine"as keywords for the second time to retrieval.Screening to retrieve the documents, will beincluded in the standard document according to the Jadad scale for qua lity evaluation and dataextraction.Finally, the Meta-analysis during nearly30years materials about treating periodontitis bytraditional Chinese medicine or combined traditional and Western medicine methods be completedthrough the evidence-based medicine method.Results1.Documents overview The nine Chinese documents involving644patients wereselected in this paper, including346patients in traditional Chinese medicine group and298inWestern medicine group. The Jadad score of into literature, the re are2articles3points, the rest ofthe2references to2points,5for1minute as low-quality documents. All studies have pointed outthe baseline balance to confirm, comparability. One articles mentioned a randomized, blinded andparallel-comparable method to evaluate clinical experiment designs, and two articles referred toprinciple of sectionalization from random numbers or randomization. There was one article with thegrouping coming from randomizing and double-blind method, and the remaining five articles didn’tmentioned to description of the method of generating random sequences but the random grouping.All the nine articles were included in the not intentional analysis (ITT).2.Meta analysis resultsTraditional Chinese medicine or combined traditional and western medicine on periodontitis whichin improving the gingival index(GI)and reducing the pocket probing depth(PPD) both have significant differences or differences have statistical significance.Which in improving the plaqueindex(PLI)and pocket attachment loss(PAL) both have no significant differences or differences haveno statistically significant.Conclusions After periodontal basic treatment of periodontitis with Traditional Chinesemedicine or combined traditional and western medicine treatment of periodontitis, in improving thegingival index (GI) and reducing the pocket probing depth (PPD)side effect is distinct, which effectis superior to conventional western medicine treatment.
