Abstract

Antibacterial agents have been used in periodontal infection (periodontitis) therapy along with mechanical debridement. Over the past years, the use of local drug delivery system of the antibacterial agents is getting more popular instead of systemic drugs and has been extensively studied to overcome the limitation of conventional therapy. Periodontal chips have gained more interest because of their sustainable delivery of antibacterial agent right into the periodontal pocket which is hard to reach with other systems. Periodontal chips incorporated with chlorhexidine has been fabricated with biodegradable materials like gelatin, collagen, chitosan, and cellulose derivate. Therefore, the aim of this review is to focus on materials available and their properties in fabricating chlorhexidine chip conducted in previous studies.
