ANTIBIOTICS IN PERIODONTAL THERAPY
BIOFILM
SYSTEMIC ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY
• Periodontal treatment aims at restoring the microbiota compatible with periodontal health.
• Effective periodontal treatment implies a reduction of pathogenic levels of indigenous oral
micro organisms and elimination of exogenous pathogens
• Mechanical periodontal treatment - reduce total supra and sub gingival bacterial mass,
• Periodontal antibiotic therapy aims to reinforce mechanical periodontal
RATIONALE OF ANTIBIOTICS
• Specific and stronger associations of certain bacterial complexes in periodontitis ( Tanner et al ,1998).
• Mechanical debridement alone has failed in eliminating distinct periodontal pathogens from subgingival niche
– Due to limited access to root surface and other extracrevicular sites
– Tissue invading skills of organisms. (Mombelli et al ,2000)
• Can induce a microbial shift ( Feres et al,2001).
• Can eradicate pathogens such as Aa for a longer period (24 months). (Ehmke et al , 2005)
• Can decrease the amount of periodontal surgery (Loeshe et al , 1992).
• Minimize effects of periodontitis on systemic conditions.
• Eliminate certain key pathogens in family units and thus can contribute to prevention of disease.

Two critical factors should be specifically considered in selecting a systemic antibiotic in
periodontal therapy:
1. Gingival fluid concentration
2. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)
1. The gingival fluid concentration (CGCF) provides information on the peak levels achieved by
systemic delivery at the primary ecological niche for periodontal pathogens, the periodontal
pocket.
2. The 90% minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC90) is an in vitro determination of the
concentration that will inhibit growth of 90% of the bacterial strains of a species that are
tested. Antimicrobial activity can be defined as a relationship between CGCF and MIC90
100 (CGCF/MIC90) = antimicrobial activity expressed as a percentage for each antibiotic and each
organism.
ADVANTAGES
• Through serum reaches base of dep
pockets and furcation, gingival epithelium
and connective tissue, dentinal tubules
• Kills bacterial in other ecological niches
• It also kills bacteria in saliva and GCF
DISADVANTAGES
• Bacterial resistance for antibiotics develops
• Superinfection and opportunistic infections
• Tetracycline – discoloration of teeth, affects
tooth development in children
• Patients non compliance

2) Strokes method
• Tetracycline- 250 mg four times daily for 2 weeks, used as an adjunct to full mouth SRP.
• Currently metronidazole (400 mg 3 times daily) and amoxicillin (250 mg 3 times daily) for
7 days should be used as an adjunct to full mouth SRP when treating localized /generalized AP.
