Antibiotics
Chemotherapeutic agents can be administered
orally,
locally
or
parenterally
In order to reduce no.of bacteria present in P.,
systemic antibiotic
may be a necessary
adjunct in controlling bact.infection because
the bacteria can invade the soft t.making
mechanical therapy alone ineffective

20/07/1434
2
Local administration of antimicrobial agents
directly in pocket provide;
greater conc.to infected area &
reduce possible systemic side effects
Guidelines for use of AB in p.d.therapy
Clinical diagnosis & situation dictate the need
for AB as an adjunct in active disease as
change in course of disease from active to
health or to refractory
Continuing disease activity
(LA, exudate, p.of 5mm & more with BOP) are
an indications for microbial analysis & further
p.d. therapy

20/07/1434
3
AB selected based on
microbial composition of plaque,
pt.medical status
& current medication

20/07/1434
4
Sampling done by taking a sample at the
beginning of appointment before
instrumentation of pocket;
1
st
of all
supragingival plaque is removed, then
paper point is inserted subgingivally to absorb
bact.in loosely associated plaque later on
placed in reduced transfer fluid & sent
overnight to lab.
P.sampling performed at initial examination ,RP,
reevaluation or supportive therapy,
as clinical indication for testing;
1. Aggressive p.d.
2. Refractory to mechanical debridment &
3. p.d.associated with systemic disease

20/07/1434
5
AB have a value to reduce need for
p.d.surgery in pt.with chronic p.d.
Sh.
not
be used as a
monotherapy
but a part of full regimen

20/07/1434
6
The treatment of periodontal diseases by antimicrobial agents alone will probably
not
suffice and indicate that mechanical instrumentation
to disrupt the biofilm and to remove the bulk of bacterial deposits must precede
antimicrobial therapy
.
adjuncts
chemotherapeutic
Include
1. Subgingival antimicrobial agent,
2. Subgingival ultrasonic irrigation with
antiseptic during RP
3. chx rinse after debridment for 2 w.
4. Home intraoral irrigation with or
without antibacterial agent

20/07/1434
7
Chx
effective as an antiplaque agent but its
antimicrobial activity is greatly reduce in presence of
organic matter in subgingival p.d.pocket
Povidine iodine
effective antibacterial agent when used
directly into p.d.pocket even with low concentration
but use with caution in pt.sensitive to iodine,
althouth sensitization rate is low, use with precaution
in pregnant & lactating pt.
Its preferable to start AB given
1-2 days
before
surgery & continuing for a total of at least
8
days
Topical application of AB through
mouthwash & dentifrice ineffective ?
1- transient time of contact b/w drugs &
tissues
2- lack of penetration into p.
3- risk of hypersensitivity
4- appearance of resistant m.o.

20/07/1434
8
Drugs that used in periodontal
diseases
Penicillin
Induce p.inhibition but not used for p.control as B-
lactamase enzyme found in p.d.pocket
10% of pt.allergic to P.
Amoxicillin
useful in treatment of aggressive p.d with dose of 500 *
3 for 8d.
Amoxil-clavulanate
used for refractory & aggressive p.d.

20/07/1434
9
Tetracycline
Systemic administration of tetracycline cause
arrest of bone loss ( aid bone regeneration by
removal of m.o.) & slight alteration of
composition of p.microbiota
Recolonization occur within
6-16 w
following
cessation of treatment,
Tetracycline
high level of tetra.-resistant mostly G+ve
cocci develop,
also no benefit of it over mechanical
debridment
so
not used routinely for
p.d.treatment

Tetracycline
Tetracycline used for treatment of certain
p.d.disease as its conc.is high in G.fluid (
2-10
times that in serum) & adsorb to root then
release slowly in active form as it has high
affinity to hydroxy apetite crystal
Tetracycline cap.250mg*4 for 2w.given as adjunct
to local debridment in localized aggressive p.d.
Tetracycline
Tetracycline effective against G+ve (more)
& G-ve m.o. include A.a.
(
broad spectrum &
bacteriostatic
),
reduce bone & C.breakdown through its
ability to inhibit collagenase

20/07/1434
11
Tetracycline
Contraindication;
sever liver or kidney dysfunction
Tet.ointment 1%
used in
1. acute pocket exacerbation,
2. under p.d.dressing,
3. in combination with orabase to cover aphthus
Tet.now tend to be replaced by more effective
combination AB
