- Gingivitis requires a consistent local concentration of antibiotics, and this study focuses on creating a mucoadhesive buccal tablet for metronidazole (MTZ) using various polymer combinations.
- The tablets were formulated with polymers like HPMC, Carbopol 940®, CMC, and EC, showing good physical properties and mucoadhesiveness, with specific formulations achieving maximum strength and release times.
- The optimized formulation (F17) successfully delivered MTZ over 8 hours, with a predicted release of 96%, demonstrating an effective method for treating gingivitis through localized therapy.
