Abstract |
Antibiotics are promoted for the treatment of periodontitis as an adjunct to mechanical debridement. Numerous studies have shown that some topically and systemically administered antibiotics provide an improved short-term clinical effect if used as an adjunct to scaling and rootplaning. However, the few long-term studies (> 5 years) question the clinical relevance.
