Abstract

Controlled release devices containing tetracyclines or metronidazole are now commercially available for use in periodontal pockets. This review, in two parts, evaluates the evidence for and against using antibiotics in the treatment of periodontitis and considers the role for systemic and local delivery. Guidelines for antibiotic usage and recommended regimes are proposed.
