Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory
processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem …

Most studies indicate that the mechanical removal of the bacterial biofilm from the implant
surface is the central goal of peri-implantitis therapy. However, controversial results in the …

Antibiotic combinations are preferred for the treatment of periodontal diseases, with the aim
of hitting the bacterial flora, according to its characteristics—aerobic, anaerobic, gram …

Traditional methods of non-surgical treatment of periodontitis, including mechanical
scaling/root planing (SRP), do not guarantee remission of the disease. Local delivery of …

Periodontal infections tend to be site-specific, mostly confined to the periodontal pocket. With
the surge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the trend is shifting towards other therapeutic …

Insights in oral demographics have revealed that a significant percentage of population
faces chronic incidences of oral diseases. The innervation of these oral manifestations is …

Under steady-state circumstances, the oral microbiota is in equilibrium with host tissues,
thus contributing to local and systemic health. Any interruption of such equilibrium leads to a …

The susceptibility of guided bone regeneration (GBR) material to infection by pathogens at
wound sites during bone healing has often been overlooked. The objective of this study was …

Background: The aim of the present meta-analysis is to determine the efficacy of tetracycline
group of antibiotics as local drug delivery agents in the treatment of chronic periodontitis …

Adjunctive use of antimicrobials with scaling and root planing (SRP) is necessary to better
eradicate dental biofilm. Tetracycline (T) is the most commonly used antimicrobial; however …
