Article Synopsis
- Local delivery of doxycycline within periodontal treatment shows increased drug concentration and effectiveness compared to systemic methods for managing chronic periodontitis.
- The study involved 12 patients divided into two groups: one receiving scaling and root planing (SRP) with doxycycline gel, and the other receiving only SRP, with assessments taken at various intervals.
- Results indicated both groups improved, but the SRP plus gel group showed significantly better outcomes in clinical parameters, suggesting this combination therapy could enhance chronic periodontitis treatment.
