Abstract
BACKGROUND The control of dental biofilm regrowth after nonsurgical periodontal therapy is associated with better clinical outcomes. However, many patients have difficulty achieving optimal plaque control. Subjects with diabetes, in which immune and wound-healing responses are typically impaired, may benefit from intensive antiplaque control regimens after scaling and root planing (SRP). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an intensive, at-home, chemical, and mechanical antiplaque regimen as an adjunct to SRP for the treatment of moderate to severe periodontitis. A secondary objective was to compare responses in subjects with type 2 diabetes and nondiabetics. METHODS This was a 6-mo, single-center, parallel-group, randomized trial. The test group received SRP and oral hygiene instructions, and subjects were instructed to use a 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinse twice a day for 3 mo and utilize rubber interproximal bristle cleaners twice a day for 6 mo. The control group received SRP and oral hygiene instructions. The main outcome was change in mean probing depth (PD) from baseline to 6 mo. Secondary outcomes included change in sites with deep PDs, mean clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, plaque index, hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood glucose, C-reactive protein, and taste assessment. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT04830969. RESULTS In total, 114 subjects were randomized to either treatment. Eighty-six subjects completed the trial with no missing visits. Neither an intention-to-treat nor a per-protocol analysis showed statistically significant differences between treatment groups in mean PD at 6 mo. In a subgroup analysis, subjects with diabetes in the test group showed a statistically significant greater reduction in mean PD at 6 mo when compared to subjects with diabetes receiving the control treatment (Δ = 0.15, P = 0.04), while there were no differences within nondiabetics (Δ = 0.02, P = 0.75). CONCLUSION Outcomes in subjects with diabetes may be improved by chemo-mechanical antiplaque measures after nonsurgical periodontal therapy. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER STATEMENT This study suggests diabetic subjects may benefit from an intensive, at-home, chemical, and mechanical antiplaque regimen to improve nonsurgical periodontal therapy outcomes.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient's risk factors and the debridement of supra and subgingival biofilm. This debridement can be performed with or without the use of some adjuvant therapies, including physical or chemical agents, host modulating agents, subgingivally locally delivered antimicrobials, or systemic antimicrobials. Therefore, the main aim of this article is to review in a narrative manner the existing literature regarding the adjuvant application of local agents, either subgingivally delivered antibiotics and antiseptics or supragingivally applied rinses and dentifrices, during the different steps in periodontal therapy performed in Europe.

Abstract
AIM To answer the following PICOS question: in adult patients with periodontitis, which is the efficacy of adjunctive locally delivered antimicrobials, in comparison with subgingival debridement alone or plus a placebo, in terms of probing pocket depth (PPD) reduction, in randomized clinical trials with at least 6 months of follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic search was conducted: 59 papers, reporting 50 different studies, were included. Data on clinical outcome variables changes were pooled and analysed using weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), and prediction intervals (PI), in case of significant heterogeneity. RESULTS Statistically significant differences were observed, in 6- to 9-month studies, for PPD (WMD = 0.365, 95% CI [0.262; 0.468], PI [-0.29; 1.01]) and clinical attachment level (CAL) (WMD = 0.263, 95% CI [0.123; 0.403], PI [-0.43; 0.96]). For long-term studies, significant differences were observed for PPD (WMD = 0.190, 95% CI [0.059; 0.321]), but not for CAL. For adverse events, no differences were observed. Results were affected by study design (split-mouth versus parallel studies) and assessment (full- or partial-mouth), as well as by the formulation tested. CONCLUSIONS The use adjunctive locally delivered antimicrobials in periodontitis therapy results in statistically significant benefits in clinical outcomes, without relevant side effects.

Abstract
AIM This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adjunctive locally delivered antimicrobials, compared to subgingival instrumentation alone or plus a placebo, on changes in probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL), in patients with residual pockets during supportive periodontal care. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature search was performed with electronic databases and by hand until 31 May 2020. Primary outcome was the changes in PPD. The treatment effects between groups were estimated with weighted mean differences (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and prediction intervals (PI) by using random-effects network meta-analysis. RESULTS Twenty-two studies were included. Significantly greater PPD reduction was achieved in chlorhexidine chip group (WMD: 0.65 mm, 95% CI: 0.21-1.10) and tetracycline fibre group (WMD: 0.64 mm, 95% CI: 0.20-1.08) over 6-month follow-up. Other adjunctive antimicrobial agents achieved non-significant improvements compared to scaling and root planing alone. All differences between adjunctive therapies were statistically non-significant. Similar findings were observed for CAL gain. CONCLUSION Adjunctive local antimicrobial agents achieved small additional PPD reduction and CAL gain in residual pockets for a follow-up of up to 6 months. Tetracycline fibre and chlorhexidine chip achieved better results than other antimicrobials.

Abstract
Periodontal infections tend to be site-specific, mostly confined to the periodontal pocket. With the surge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the trend is shifting towards other therapeutic modalities, especially locally delivered approaches that include other pharmacotherapeutic drugs and medical devices. This narrative review aimed to provide insights into the clinical efficacy of local drug delivery and adjunctive agents used in nonsurgical management of periodontitis. Electronic (PubMed/MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and EMBASE) and bibliographic searches of past systematic reviews were carried out to identify previous publications on the topic. Only relevant literature and randomized controlled trials published in English were selected. In addition, a literature review was developed based on the selected articles. Experimental drugs or agents were excluded. This review highlights the clinically proven and commercially available therapeutic agents related to the management of periodontal disease with comparisons of their clinical efficacies and challenges. A vast array of commercial local pharmacotherapeutic agents had been clinically tested, but the methodologies and clinical results varied within and between each agent used, causing difficulty in drawing conclusions and providing support to the superiority of one agent over another. Considering the benefit-cost ratio with the modest clinical results, the long-term usefulness of these agents remains debatable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the adjunctive use of tetracycline fibers (Periodontal Plus AB(®)) as a local drug delivery with scaling and root planing, as compared with the results of one episode of scaling and root planing for the treatment of chronic periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effectiveness of Periodontal Plus AB (tetracycline fiber) was assessed in 100 patients suffering from chronic periodontitis using split-mouth technique. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The relative efficacy of the two treatment modalities was evaluated using the paired Student's t-test, and the comparative evaluation between the two groups was done using the independent Student's t-test. RESULTS Significant improvement was found in all the variables, including reduction in pocket depth and gain in clinical attachment level, in both test and control groups in 3 months, which was statistically significant. Mean reduction in pocket depth and gain in clinical attachment level were more in test than in control group. CONCLUSION Tetracycline fiber therapy along with scaling and root planing improves the healing outcome, namely, reduction in pocket depth and gain in clinical attachment level, when compared to scaling and root planing alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scaling and root planing is the basic treatment modality for periodontal disease. Mechanical treatment is limited by physical impediments and biochemical considerations. Antimicrobial agents may be used as an adjunct to overcome limitations of mechanical therapy. METHODS A case-control study was carried out on 30 patients suffering from chronic periodontitis. In Group A only scaling and root planing was carried out whereas in Group B tetracycline fibers were used along with scaling and root planing. RESULT Tetracycline fibers as an adjunct to scaling and root planing was found to be more effective in reducing inflammation. The number of sites with bleeding on probing were 12 in Group A as compared to four in Group B after 30 days. The mean decrease in probing depth was more in Group B than Group A after 30 and 90 days. General linear model showed that decrease in probing depth was statistically significant with both mechanical therapy as well as adjunctive use of tetracycline fibers. CONCLUSION Local drug delivery with tetracycline fiber is an effective and simple non surgical method to improve periodontal health which can be practiced even by a general dental practitioner.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the short-term performance of subgingival local delivery of 2% minocycline gel and conventional subgingival debridement in supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) patients. METHODS Forty adult patients having completed active treatment for moderate to advanced chronic periodontitis were included in a randomized, controlled, single masked maintenance care pilot study. Sites with residual pocket probing depths > or =5 mm and bleeding on probing were treated with either minocycline gel (minocycline-group) or scaling and root planing only (debridement-group) at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months. Clinical and microbiological examinations were performed at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. RESULTS Full-mouth plaque and bleeding scores remained <10% and <20%, respectively, for both groups throughout the study. In both groups there was a persistent reduction in number of teeth and sites with probing pocket depths > or =5 mm (p<0.05) with no significant differences between the groups. The prevalence of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, and Prevotella nigrescens, remained at levels < or =10(5) in the majority of patients and sites in both groups. CONCLUSION This pilot study failed to show a difference between local delivery of 2% minocycline gel as mono-therapy and traditional subgingival debridement in patients on SPT.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS/AIMS The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical, radiological and microbiological response to the local delivery of tetracycline (TE) of sites with persistent periodontal lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted in a split-mouth design. Nineteen patients with at least four bilateral pockets 4-5 mm and bleeding on probing (BOP) were treated with scaling and root planing (SRP) plus TE fibres (test sites) or with SRP alone (control sites). Clinical and radiological measurements were taken at baseline, 6 months and 12 months post-operatively. Subgingival plaque samples were collected at baseline, at fibres removal, 6 and 12 months following treatment and analysed by polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Both treatments yielded a statistically significant (p<0.05) reduction of probing depth (2.05 and 1.21 mm), gain of clinical attachment level (1.71 and 0.53 mm) and reduction of BOP scores (23.68% and 57.89%) for TE and SRP groups, respectively, when comparing 12-month data with baseline. The differences between two groups were significant. The prevalence of Treponema denticola and Bacteroides forsythus decreased after therapy in both groups but only in the test sites Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Prevotella intermedia were not yield detected. The pathogens could be eliminated from five periodontal pockets by SRP alone, while 21 TE sites were not recolonized at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS SRP plus TE fibres gave the greatest advantage in the treatment of periodontal persistent lesions at least 12 months following treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This paper reports a meta-analysis of studies that have investigated the effect of scaling and root planing on periodontal probing depth and attachment loss. MATERIAL AND METHODS The criteria used for inclusion of studies were as follows: root planing and scaling alone was one of the primary treatment arms; patients or quadrants of each patient were randomly assigned to study groups; 80% of patients enrolled were included in first year follow-up examinations; periodontal probing depth and attachment loss were reported in mm; the sample size of each study and substudy was reported. Sample size was used to weight the relative contribution of each study since standard errors were not reported by many studies and sample size is highly correlated with standard error and therefore statistically able to explain a substantial portion of the standard error on studies that use similar measures. RESULTS The meta-analysis results show that periodontal probing depth and gain of attachment level do not improve significantly following root planing and scaling for patients with shallow initial periodontal probing depths. However, there was about a 1-mm reduction for medium initial periodontal probing depths and a 2-mm reduction for deep initial periodontal probing depths. Similarly, there was about a 0.50-mm gain in attachment for medium initial periodontal probing depth measurements and slightly more than a l-mm gain in attachment for deep initial periodontal probing depth measurements. Surgical therapy for patients with deep initial probing depths showed better results than scaling and root planing in reducing probing depths. When patients were followed up over 3 years or more, these differences were reduced to less than 0.4 mm. Antibiotic therapy showed similar results to scaling and root planing. However, a consistent improvement in periodontal probing depth and gain of attachment is demonstrated when local antibiotic therapy is combined with root planing and scaling.

Abstract
Antimicrobial agents, systemic and/or local, are thought by some to be effective agents for treating periodontal infections. Here the authors determine the costs and benefits of local delivery agents for treating periodontal disease. Applying this cost-benefit analysis to patient care, however, will depend upon a clinician's expertise and a patient's value system.

Abstract
For almost two decades, antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ON) have been used successfully to suppress and regulate gene expression in vitro and in vivo. They are, meanwhile, well established to serve as molecular tools for several biologic applications, from the study of single gene functions up to complex target gene validations. Based on an at least theoretically simple mode of action, the sequence-specific inhibition of mRNA functions after complex formation by Watson-Crick base pairing and presumably enzymatic degradation of the target mRNA, they obviously carry a high therapeutic potential for the treatment of human diseases. In recent years, a remarkable number of clinical trials have been initiated and performed to evaluate the therapeutic usefulness of antisense technology. However, after the successful development of the first antisense-based drug Vitravene (Isis Pharmaceutical Inc., Carlsbad, CA) in 1998, no second product has appeared on the market to date. Here, we describe substantial advantages for the development of antisense-based drugs against less severe oral diseases that represent novel but highly promising application fields of the technology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the use of systemic antibiotics has been studied in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (formerly rapidly progressive periodontitis), the use of adjunctive tetracycline fibers in these patients has not been reported. The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical response of local versus systemic antibiotic treatment as adjuncts to scaling and root planing in patients with GAgP. METHODS After initial therapy and full-mouth scaling and root planing (SRP), 30 patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 antibiotic treatment groups. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded with an automated probe prior to SRP at baseline (BL) and 15, 30, 41, and 54 weeks later. Three months after SRP, the patients were treated with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (500 mg tid; SRP + AUG group) or with local tetracycline fiber in pockets with PD > or =5 mm (SRP + TCF group). RESULTS In both treatment groups, PD decreased significantly from BL to week 54 (6.2+/-1.5 mm to 4.7+/-1.4 mm for SRP + TCF and 6.5+/-1.4 mm to 4.2+/-0.6 mm for SRP + AUG). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in pocket reduction. Similarly, in both treatment groups, there were small but significant gains in CAL from BL to week 54 (12.0+/-1.8 mm to 11.3+/-1.8 mm for SRP + TCF and 12.3+/-1.5 mm to 11.2+/-1.2 mm for SRP + AUG). The difference in CAL gain between the 2 groups was not statistically significant. At the final examination, both groups showed significant PD reduction and CAL gain (P <0.001) compared to BL. The frequency and percentage of bleeding sites decreased significantly in both groups. At week 54, this decrease was significantly greater in the SRP + AUG group (31.67% for SRP + TCF versus 3.85% for SRP + AUG). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that the local delivery of tetracycline by a fiber or the systemic administration of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given 3 months after scaling and root planing produced similar clinical outcomes over the 9-month observation period.

Abstract
Older adults present special problems for the dentist trying to establish or reestablish esthetics. Periodontal diseases are of concern for this population since tooth loss from these widespread problems increases with age. In general, this loss occurs because of increased exposure time to pathogenic bacteria, not some change inherent in the body brought on by the aging process. The profession has begun to place more emphasis on systemic risk factors and their role in modifying periodontal inflammation. The current thinking is that bacteria are necessary to initiate and sustain periodontal diseases, but the clinical manifestation is dictated to a significant extent by systemic factors. Smoking, diabetes, and being positive for the interleukin-1 genotype predispose the patient to developing more severe disease. For those older adults who lose teeth, dental implants have emerged as reliable replacements, and concerns about placing these devices in patients who have lost teeth as a result of periodontitis appear to be largely unfounded.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This research report evaluates clinical changes resulting from local delivery of doxycycline hyclate (DH) or traditional scaling and root planing (SRP) in a group of patients undergoing supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). METHODS In all, 141 patients received either DH (67) or SRP (74) treatment in sites > or =5 mm on one-half of their dentition at baseline and month 4. RESULTS Clinical results were determined at month 9. Baseline mean probing depth recordings were similar between the two groups (DH = 5.9 mm; SRP = 5.9 mm). Mean month 9 results showed similar clinical results for attachment level gain (DH 0.7 mm; SRP 0.8 mm) and probing depth reduction (DH 1.3 mm; SRP 1.1 mm). Percentage of sites showing > or =2 mm attachment level gain at month 9 was 24.7% in the DH group and 21.2% in the SRP group. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of DH sites and 38% of SRP sites showed > or =2 mm probing depth reduction. When treated sides of the dentition were compared to untreated sides, DH showed a difference in disease activity (> or =2 mm attachment loss) from 19.3% (untreated) to 7.2% (treated); and SRP from 14.3% (untreated) to 8.1% (treated). CONCLUSIONS Results show that both DH without concomitant mechanical instrumentation and SRP were equally effective as SPT in this patient group over the 9-month study period.

Abstract
This manuscript reviews the development over the last 20 years of the evidence supporting the clinical application of a controlled delivery device for the treatment of human periodontitis. The device is a monolithic ethylene vinyl-acetate fibre loaded with 25% w/w tetracycline HCI (tetracycline fibre). It releases tetracycline at a steady state rate of 2 microg/cm x h and results in the maintenance of essentially constant, highly-effective concentrations of tetracycline at the site of action. A series of controlled, randomised, single-blind, phase-III clinical trials including a total of 463 patients has indicated that: (1) tetracycline fibres result in significantly better outcomes than the scaling and root planing positive control; (2) combination of tetracycline fibres with subgingival mechanical debridement results in significant improvement over debridement alone. Evidence from these studies has led to approval of this treatment modality by the US Food and Drug Administration and by the European Union Regulatory Bodies. A clinical usage study involving 2711 subjects treated by 68 clinicians in Europe and North America indicated that the magnitude of the observed clinical outcomes is clinically relevant and that adverse events were rarely observed. A variety of clinical investigations aimed at the optimal incorporation of tetracycline fibres in a treatment strategy provide guidance in case selection. Cost of therapy and concerns of unnecessary usage of antibiotics should be considered. It is nonetheless concluded that combination of tetracycline fibres with mechanical debridement represents a documented treatment alternative, the application of which may offer clinical benefits to many patients.

Abstract
This review article evaluates the role of local drug delivery systems in the management of periodontal diseases. The efficacy of several local delivery devices (i.e., tetracycline fibers, metronidazole and minocycline gels, chlorhexidine chips, and doxycycline polymer) which are either commercially available in the United States or abroad, or are currently under consideration for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval are discussed. The drug delivery systems are assessed with regard to their functional characteristics, effectiveness as a monotherapy, as compared to scaling and root planing, and ability to enhance conventional therapy. Furthermore, controversies associated with local delivery are addressed (e.g., induction of bacterial resistant strains, the efficacy of systemic versus local drug delivery, and whether local drug delivery should function as an alternative or as an adjunct to conventional treatment).
