Agarwal A, Gupta ND. Combination of bone allograft, barrier membrane and doxycycline in the treatment of infrabony periodontal defects: A comparative trial. Saudi Dent J 2015; 27:155-60. [PMID: 26236130 PMCID: PMC4501465 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2015.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2014] [Revised: 12/04/2014] [Accepted: 01/26/2015] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim The purpose of the present study was to compare the regenerative potential of noncontained periodontal infrabony defects treated with decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and barrier membrane with or without local doxycycline. Methods This study included 48 one- or two-wall infrabony defects from 24 patients (age: 30–65 years) seeking treatment for chronic periodontitis. Defects were randomly divided into two groups and were treated with a combination of DFDBA and barrier membrane, either alone (combined treatment group) or with local doxycycline (combined treatment + doxycycline group). At baseline (before surgery) and 3 and 6 months after surgery, the pocket probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), radiological bone fill (RBF), and alveolar height reduction (AHR) were recorded. Analysis of variance and the Newman–Keuls post hoc test were used for statistical analysis. A two-tailed p-value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results In the combined treatment group, the PPD reduction was 2.00 ± 0.38 mm (32%), CAL gain was 1.25 ± 0.31 mm (17.9%), and RBF was 0.75 ± 0.31 mm (20.7%) after 6 months. In the combined treatment + doxycycline group, these values were 2.75 ± 0.37 mm (44%), 1.5 ± 0.27 mm (21.1%), and 1.13 ± 0.23 mm (28.1%), respectively. AHR values for the groups without and with doxycycline were 12.5% and 9.4%, respectively. Conclusion There was no significant difference in the regeneration of noncontained periodontal infrabony defects between groups treated with DFDBA and barrier membrane with or without doxycycline.

Abstract
Background Recently, fast-setting α-tricalcium-phosphate (TCP) cement was developed for use in the pulp capping process. The aim of this study was to investigate the physical properties and biological effects of α-TCP cement in comparison with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Methods We measured the setting time, pH values, compressive strength, and solubility of the two materials. We evaluated biocompatibility on the basis of cell morphology and a viability test using human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). Chemical composition of each material was analyzed by energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopic (EDS) analysis. The expression of odontogenic-related genes was evaluated by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. The calcified nodule formation was measured by Alizarin red staining. We performed the pulp capping procedure on rat teeth for histological investigation. The data were analyzed by an independent t-test for physical properties, one-way ANOVA for biological effects, and the Mann-Whitney U test for tertiary dentin formation. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all tests. Results The setting time, pH values, and compressive strength of α-TCP was lower than that of MTA (P < 0.05); however, the solubility of α-TCP was higher than that of MTA (P < 0.05). The resultant cell viability observed with the two materials was similar (P > 0.05). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that cells attached to both materials were flat and had cytoplasmic extensions. The expression of odontogenic-related markers and mineralized nodule formation were higher in the two experimental groups compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Continuous tertiary dentin was formed underneath the capping materials in all samples of the tested groups. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that the α-TCP exhibited biocompatibility and odontogenicity comparable to MTA, whereas it had a quicker setting time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxycycline has been advocated as useful adjuncts in periodontal therapy not only due to their antimicrobial actions, but also to their recently recognized anti-collagenolytic, anti-inflammatory, osteoclast inhibitory and fibroblast stimulating property. The purpose of the present cohort study was to evaluate the regenerative outcomes of bone graft with or without local doxycycline in non-contained infrabony periodontal defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS 16 one or two wall infrabony defects, in 11 patients suffering from moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, aged 35-60 years, were randomly divided for bone graft, alone (control) and with doxycycline (test) for the study. At baseline, after 3 months and after 6 months of post-operative period, pocket probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), radiological bone fill (RBF) and alveolar height reduction were recorded. Analysis of variance and Newman-Keuls post-hoc test were used or statistical analysis. A two-tailed probability (P) value P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS For the control group PPD reduction 2.00 ± 0.18 mm, CAL gain 1.38 ± 0.17 mm, RBF 0.63 ± 0.27 mm (18.0%) was observed while in the test group PPD reduction 2.00 ± 0.38 mm, CAL gain 1.25 ± 0.31 mm, RBF 0.75 ± 0.31 mm (20.7%) was evaluated. While alveolar height reduction for the control group and test group was 13% and 12.5% respectively. CONCLUSION The study confirmed no added benefits of local doxycycline, as compared with bone graft alone, for regeneration of non-contained human periodontal infrabony defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful prevention and treatment of periodontal disease are contingent on effective control of periodontopathic microbiota based on the premise of periodontal disease being infectious disorders. An anti-microbial agent, i.e., doxycycline has been incorporated into the allograft to control infection and facilitate healing during and after periodontal therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a split-mouth design, 15 patients showing clinical evidence of almost identical bilateral infrabony defects requiring bone grafting procedures were randomly selected. In each patient, infrabony defects on one side were designated as Group A (control group) and infrabony defects of the contralateral side of the same arch were designated as Group B (test group). Clinical assessment of probing pocket depth and attachment level and radiographic evaluation of the defect depth was done pre-operatively and at 12-week and 24-week post-operatively. The relative efficacy of the two treatment modalities was evaluated using paired Student's t-test and the comparative evaluation between the two groups over the 3 time intervals was done using independent Student's t-test. RESULTS Both the groups exhibited a highly significant reduction in probing depth and gain in clinical attachment level (CAL) and a linear bone fill at the end of 12 and 24 weeks. Comparative evaluation showed a statistically significant gain in bone fill in Group B as compared to Group A, whereas a non-significant reduction in probing depth and gain in CALs between the two groups at the end of 24 weeks (whereas mean reduction in probing depth and gain in CAL were also greater in Group B but the difference was statistically non-significant). CONCLUSION The increase in linear bone fill in Group B signifies the role of doxycycline in augmenting regenerative potential of allograft by combating residual infection and through host modulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of tetracycline in a patient with peri-implantitis. BACKGROUND Tetracycline is widely used in regeneration procedures owing to its positive effect with bone graft material, regeneration of extraction socket bone and its traditional antibacterial effect. However, there have been limited reports on bone graft procedures combined with tetracycline application in peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The detoxification procedure was performed with chlorhexidine and tetracycline, and the defect area was grafted with a 4:1 volume ratio combination of deproteinised bovine bone mixed with tetracycline. RESULTS Soft tissue healing was uneventful, and the treatment yielded improved clinical results with a reduced probing depth. CONCLUSIONS Tetracycline was used in the treatment of peri-implantitis by burnishing the implant surface and applying tetracycline in conjunction with an osseous graft to the defect area. The treatment of peri-implantitis with tetracycline seemed to show improved clinical results up to the follow-up period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical studies using locally applied doxycycline hyclate (DHV) have demonstrated significant probing depth reduction and gain in clinical attachment as a monotherapy without scaling and root planing. The mechanism for this attachment level gain to the non-root planed tooth is not understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of locally applied doxycycline hyclate on human gingival fibroblast attachment to subgingival calculus on contaminated root surfaces. METHODS Two separate experiments were performed, both on subgingival calculus. In experiment 1, teeth with subgingival calculus were treated with either doxcycycline hyclate in bioabsorbable vehicle (DHV) or with vehicle control (VC) in vivo. In experiment 2, teeth with subgingival calculus were treated with DHV, VC, scaling and root planing (SRP), or no treatment in vitro. The amount of cell attachment to calculus-covered root surfaces was quantitatively compared using a fluorescent dye assay and epifluorescence microscope. Values for cell attachment are presented as the mean standard deviation of the mean. The data were evaluated using Student t test. RESULTS In both experiments, there was no statistically significant difference in fibroblast attachment in the DHV, VC, or no treatment groups (P >0.05). The SRP group showed significantly more cellular attachment to tooth surfaces formerly covered by subgingival calculus than all other groups (P <0.001). In general, more cells attached to cementum than to calculus. Root chips that showed no attachment to the subgingival calculus also had no cells attached to the adjacent cemental root surface. CONCLUSION The addition of doxycycline hyclate in a bioabsorbable vehicle used as a locally delivered drug did not enhance the initial cellular attachment of human gingival fibroblasts to subgingival calculus or contaminated root surfaces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biodegradable materials have been successfully utilized for guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and local delivery systems (LDS) because they are biocompatible, less cytotoxic, and do not require removal. Several studies have demonstrated that tetracyclines (TCs), when applied topically, stimulated osteogenesis in experimental bone defects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the regenerative effect of a 25% doxycycline-loaded biodegradable GTR membrane (Doxy-M) in dogs. METHODS Doxy-M was made by coating the inner surface of a biodegradable membrane (BD-M) with 25% doxycycline. Five male mongrel dogs with 20 created osseous defects were enrolled. The plain BD-M was used as the control membrane. Either Doxy-M or BD-M was applied in 20 randomly selected defects (10 Doxy-M, 10 BD-M) for 12 weeks with the GTR technique. The histometric analysis was evaluated with the following parameters: defect height (DH), apical extension of junctional epithelium (AEJP), new cementum height (NCH), new bone height (NBH), and new bone area (NBA). RESULTS The Doxy-M-treated defects showed more pronounced new bone formation and less crestal bone resorption than the BD-M-treated defects. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in DH, AEJP, and NCH. Statistically significantly larger NBH (P <0.05) and NBA (P<0.005) were seen in the Doxy-M-treated defects. CONCLUSIONS The results strongly suggest that Doxy-M may have a beneficial effect on osteogenesis to favor periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
We have developed a universal system for temporal, spatial, and cell type-specific control of gene expression in mice that (1) integrates the advantages of tetracycline-controlled gene expression and Cre-recombinase-loxP site-mediated gene inactivation, and (2) simplifies schemes of animal crosses by combination of two control elements in a single transgene. Two transgenic strains were generated in which the cell type-specific control was provided by either the retinoblastoma gene promoter or the whey acidic protein promoter. Both promoters drive the expression of the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA). Placed in cis configuration to the rtTA transcription unit, the rtTA-inducible promoter directs expression of Cre recombinase. In both strains crossed with cActXstopXLacZ reporter mice, which have a loxP-stop of transcription/translation-loxP-LacZ cassette driven by chicken beta-actin promoter, Cre-loxP-mediated DNA recombination leading to LacZ expression was accurately regulated in a temporal, spatial, and cell type-specific manner. This approach can be applied to establishment of analogous mouse strains with virtually any promoter as systems to control gene regulation in a variety of cell types.

Abstract
Although the influence of tetracyclines on periodontal connective tissue cells has been the topic of many in vitro and in vivo studies, data regarding their effects on gingival epithelial cells are scarce. The present in vitro study was designed to examine the influence of minocycline, a semi-synthetic analog of tetracycline, on human gingival keratinocyte (HGK) attachment and migration. Attachment tests were performed with HGK prelabeled by tritiated amino-acids. Increasing concentrations of minocycline (10, 50, 100 micrograms/ml) in the medium produced no significant modification of cell adhesion kinetics compared to control conditions, except for 100 micrograms/ml which statistically significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the number of attached cells beyond 6 h. A 24-h cell preincubation in 10 micrograms/ml of minocycline did not alter the kinetics of HGK attachment. Scanning electron microscopic observations of attached HGK showed that the presence of 10 micrograms/ml of minocycline in the "attachment medium" induced the production of multiple filopodial extensions. Migration tests in Boyden chambers for 40 h demonstrated that HGK preincubation for 24 h in a 10 micrograms/ml minocycline-HCl solution increased significantly (p < 0.005) cell migration towards a gradient of fetal calf serum. The presence of 10 micrograms/ml of minocycline in contact with the keratinocytes in the upper compartment of the migration chambers also produced a significant (p < 0.005) result. In contrast, the presence of minocycline in the lower compartments did not produce any chemoattractive effect. Within the limits of their significance, these results suggest that, at concentrations not beyond 50 micrograms/ml, minocycline could fasten the periodontal wound coverage by epithelial cells and allow the normal reformation of a junctional epithelium.

Abstract
Periodontal regeneration through the use of root demineralization received a lot of interest in periodontology. Topical application of acid to dentin surfaces produced a zone of demineralization, exposing dentin collagen fibrils and opening dentin tubules. In this study, the in vitro effects of different tetracycline HCl application techniques were investigated. According to the results of this SEM study, it may be desirable to apply tetracycline HCl using burnishing technique to expose maximum intertubular fibrils and for the tubular openings. However, this technique should be studied when placed in an in vivo system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine and compare osseous regeneration associated with three guided tissue regeneration membrane types (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, dense polytetrafluoroethylene, and an absorbable polylactic acid/citric acid ester base) and removal forces required for expanded and dense polytetrafluoroethylene membranes. STUDY DESIGN Bilateral osseous defects were created in 30 adult rat calvaria; one defect was covered with a test membrane and the other received no membrane (control). After 2 or 4 weeks, forces required for membrane removal from the tissues were electronically determined, and the calvaria removed and decalcified. Sections through the defects were stained and evaluated electronically and microscopically. Data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS Microscopic evaluation with Mann-Whitney U test revealed that dense polytetrafluoroethylene was associated with significantly greater bone formation than expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (p = 0.02) at 2 weeks and absorbable polylactic acid/citric acid ester base (p = 0.004) at 4 weeks. Electronic evaluation of the linear degree of fill with one way ANOVA and Tukey's test found no significant difference (p > 0.05) among the experimental or the control groups. In addition, the Mann-Whitney U test indicated that removal forces required for dense polytetrafluoroethylene were significantly less than for expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS The use of dense polytetrafluoroethylene as a membrane barrier deserves further investigation as it allows osseous regeneration, it is easier to remove from healing soft tissues, and it is inexpensive. A study with larger sample sizes should be conducted.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases essentially comprise a group of oral infections whose primary aetiological factor is dental plaque. Removal of the cause (and its effects) is the primary aim of both non-surgical and surgical treatment regimens, although the infective nature of the diseases has led to the widespread use of antimicrobials as an adjunct to mechanical debridement. The tetracyclines are primarily bacteriostatic agents that are effective against many Gram-negative species including putative periodontopathogens such as Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.). The proven efficacy of this group of drugs in the management of periodontal diseases may be related not only to their antibacterial actions, but to a number of additional properties that have been recently identified. These include collagenase inhibition, anti-inflammatory actions, inhibition of bone resorption and their ability to promote the attachment of fibroblasts to root surfaces. Consequently, tetracyclines have also been used as an adjunct to bone grafting in periodontal defects, and as agents for 'conditioning' root surfaces to enhance the regeneration of periodontal tissues. When tetracyclines are taken orally, consideration must be given both to the potential unwanted effects and to interactions with other drugs that are taken concurrently. Such problems are minimised however, when the drugs are incorporated into controlled, slow-release formulations which are currently being researched and marketed for intra-oral use.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and microbiological effects of a newly developed root conditioning gel system containing tetracycline or a mixture of tetracycline and citric acid on non-surgical periodontal therapy. Sixty-four (64) single-rooted teeth with a probing depth of 4 to 6 mm were randomly subjected to one of the following four treatments; 1) root planing alone (RP group); 2) tetracycline-containing gel alone (TCG group); 3) root planing plus tetracycline-containing gel (RP + TCG group); or 4) root planing plus a mixture of tetracycline and citric acid-containing gel (RP + TC-CAG group). Probing depth, attachment level, and tooth mobility were measured and the presence of dental plaque and gingival inflammation was recorded at baseline and after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Subgingival plaque samples from each site were collected at the same visits and examined with phase contrast microscopy for proportions of motile rods and spirochetes. Plaque index, gingival sulcus bleeding index (SBI), probing depth, and attachment level decreased significantly in all groups compared to the baseline values (P < 0.05). A significant decrease in probing pocket depth was noted after 12 weeks in RP + TC-CAG group compared to the other groups (P < 0.05). Significantly more gain in attachment was detected in the RP + TC-CAG group compared to the TCG group (P < 0.05). Tooth mobility scores also decreased later in the study. A significant decrease in the proportion of motile rods was found primarily in the RP + TC-CAG group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
New knowledge about the microbial etiology of periodontal diseases emerged in the 1970s and 1980s and led to widespread interest in the use of antimicrobial agents to treat periodontitis. The controlled-release delivery of antimicrobials directly into the periodontal pocket has received great interest and appears to hold some promise in periodontal therapy. Some techniques for applying antimicrobials subgingivally, such as subgingival irrigation, involve local delivery but not controlled-release. Controlled-release local delivery systems, in which the antimicrobial is available at therapeutic levels for several days, have been evaluated in several forms and using different antimicrobials. Although most studies with such systems have focused on drug delivery kinetics and "proof of principle" evaluations, some controlled clinical trials have recently been reported. The most widely tested system, monolithic tetracycline-containing fibers, has shown significant clinical benefit when used alone as compared to no subgingival therapy. Similarly, controlled trials involving chlorhexidine strips used subgingivally every 3 months in place of routine supportive periodontal therapy have shown significant clinical benefit for up to 2 years. Although these data are now emerging, many questions concerning the optimal use and role of this therapy in clinical practice remain. This review attempts to summarize and interpret current data and to outline key remaining questions that must be addressed as this technology is transferred into clinical practice.

Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration and location of tetracycline hydrochloride in tissue adjacent to periodontal pockets treated with a tetracycline impregnated fiber. A secondary objective was to determine if the presurgical placement of fibers had any adverse effects on healing following periodontal surgery. The study population consisted of 10 patients with at least 2 pockets in both maxillary quadrants of > or = 5 mm in depth and exhibiting bleeding on probing. After an initial scaling and root planing, placebo or tetracycline fibers were randomly assigned by quadrant to 2 non-adjacent pockets. Fibers were removed at the time of surgery; i.e., day 8, and periodontal surgery was performed utilizing a flap incision that allowed biopsy of 1 interdental papilla from each of the 2 test sites in each quadrant. One biopsy was analyzed for tetracycline concentrations by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The second biopsy was examined by both light and ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy to determine the location of residual tetracycline and the intensity of inflammatory cell infiltrates. Results showed that the tissue concentration of the antibiotic in tetracycline treated sites was 64.4 +/- 7.01 ng/mg (ng of tetracycline/mg tissue weight) which corresponds to 43 micrograms of tetracycline and was below levels of accurate measurement in placebo treated sites. Tetracycline tissue concentrations corresponded to the ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy with a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.92. Tetracycline fluorescence was noted in the soft tissue wall ranging from 1 to 20 microns.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Tetracyclines have long been considered useful adjuncts in peridontal therapy based on their antimicrobial efficacy against putative periodontopathogens. However, recently these drugs were found to inhibit mammalian collagenases and several other matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by a mechanism independent of their antimicrobial activity. Evidence is presented that this property may be therapeutically useful in retarding pathologic connective tissue breakdown, including bone resorption. The experiments leading to this discovery are described and possible mechanisms are addressed, including the specificity of tetracyclines' anti-collagenase activity, the role of the drugs' metal ion (Zn2+, Ca2+)-binding capacity, and the site on the tetracycline molecule responsible for this nonantimicrobial property. Of extreme interest, the tetracycline molecule has been chemically modified in multiple ways, generating a new family of compounds called CMTs (chemically modified tetracyclines) that lack antimicrobial but still retain anti-collagenase activity. The first of these CMTs, 4-de-di-methylaminotetracycline, was found not to produce a major side-effect of antimicrobial tetracycline therapy--its administration to experimental animals did not result in the emergence of tetracycline-resistant microorganisms in the oral flora and gut. Numerous examples of the clinical potential of this non-antimicrobial property of tetracyclines in the treatment of periodontal and several medical diseases (e.g., sterile corneal ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, skin bullous lesions, tumor-induced angiogenesis and metastasis) are discussed.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a tricalcium phosphate, plaster of paris, and doxycycline composite graft to surgical debridement alone in the treatment of Class II and Class III furcation defects. Fifteen patients with adult periodontitis and at least two mandibular molars with Class II or III furcation defects were selected. A total of 40 sites were treated: 26 were Class II defects and 14 were Class III. Following initial therapy one site was randomly selected to receive the composite graft while the remaining site served as the surgically debrided control. Osseous healing was evaluated by direct measurements from an acrylic stent at the time of graft surgery and at the 6-month reentry. Following surgery each patient was placed on doxycycline 100mg/day for 10 days. The absence of clinical inflammation and infection during the healing process provided additional substantiation of the biocompatibility of the grafting materials. Results after 6 months indicated that sites treated with the composite graft had improved defect fill, defect resolution, probing depths, and clinical attachment levels when compared to the surgically debrided controls. Defect fill was 3.7 times greater in grafted sites and these sites were 4.0 times more likely to have 50% or greater defect fill. The effect of grafting was more pronounced in Class III defects where horizontal defect fill and gain of clinical attachment was achieved only in grafted sites. The plaster of paris functioned well as a binder, preventing particle scatter and facilitating graft retention. Additionally the plaster served as a vehicle to carry and retain the doxycycline at the treated site. These short-term results point to the potential of a composite graft containing tricalcium phosphate, plaster of paris, and doxycycline in promoting healing of furcation lesions.

Abstract
The growth in the dental literature continues to escalate, as evidenced by the publication of at least 326 new books in 1988 and 1989 and more than 20 new journals in 1989. There still appears to be undue emphasis on quantity instead of quality of research. This proliferation in the literature poses ever increasing difficulties to this Committee in filtering out the articles that are of particular interest to the members of the Academy and identifying those that are most likely to have a major impact on dental practice and service. The subjects covered include periodontics, caries and preventive dentistry, craniomandibular disorders, occlusion, pulp biology, ceramics, and restorative dental materials.
