  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of local antimicrobials combined with subgingival debridement for treating chronic periodontitis, analyzing data from 56 selected papers.
  • Results indicated that the use of subgingival antimicrobials led to significant reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL), although changes in bleeding on probing and plaque index were not significant.
  • Local applications like tetracycline and doxycycline showed notable benefits, while chlorhexidine and metronidazole had minimal effects compared to placebo.
