Comparative evaluation of Three Periodontal Local Antimicrobial Therapies in Persistent Periodontal Pockets: A Six month clinical study.

Dr. Sheekha Shah

Abstract :

Currently, several local antimicrobial delivery systems are available to periodontists. ?e aim of this 6 month follow–up parallel study was to evaluate the efficacy of three commercially available local delivery systems as adjuncts to scaling and root planing in the treatment of sites with persistent periodontal lesions. Although all 3 locally applied antimicrobial systems seem to offer some benefit over scaling and root planing alone, a treatment regimen of scaling and root planing plus tetracycline fiber placement gave the greatest reduction in probing depth over the 6 months after treatment.
