    Study Notes

    Locally Delivered, Controlled-Release Antimicrobials

    • Chronic periodontitis is a bacterial infection, and the focus of nonsurgical periodontal therapy is to combat infection.
    • Controlled-release delivery systems have been developed to deposit antimicrobials directly into the periodontal pocket and maintain effective concentrations of the drug for an extended period.

    Chlorhexidine-Based Products

    • The chlorhexidine chip is a small chip that contains 2.5 mg of chlorhexidine gluconate in a resorbable, biodegradable matrix of hydrolyzed gelatin.
    • The chip is stored at 20° to 25° C (68° to 77°F).

    Surgical Therapy

    • Pocket sites that do not respond adequately to nonsurgical therapy and evidence residual probing depth with inflammation are often treated with follow-up surgical therapy.
    • The adjunctive use of locally delivered, controlled-release antimicrobials can improve clinical outcomes after periodontal surgery in regenerative and non-regenerative settings.

    Peri-Implantitis

    • Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease process that is initiated by local microorganisms and affects the tissues surrounding an implant.
    • There is a potential rationale for the use of locally delivered, controlled-release antimicrobials for the treatment of peri-implantitis.

    Tobacco Smoking

    • Smoking is a risk factor for the development or progression of periodontitis and can limit the effectiveness of periodontal therapy.
    • The adjunctive use of locally delivered, controlled-release antimicrobials can enhance the efficacy of SRP in smokers.

    Doxycycline-Based Products

    • Doxycycline gel is a subgingival, controlled-release delivery product composed of a two-syringe mixing system.
    • Doxycycline gel is indicated for the treatment of chronic adult periodontitis for a gain in clinical attachment, reduction in probing depth, and reduction of bleeding on probing.

    PerioCol-TC

    • PerioCol-TC is a product that contains fish type I collagen impregnated with tetracycline hydrochloride.
    • PerioCol-TC releases tetracycline in vitro for 8 to 10 days and is indicated for the treatment of adult periodontitis as an adjunct to SRP for pockets more than 5 mm deep.

    Adverse Effects and Cautions

    • There is a potential for hypersensitivity reactions.
    • The fibers are packaged as a strip containing four individually packed and separable sterile product packs.
    • The fiber biodegrades in the periodontal pocket within 7 days and should be retained with a periodontal dressing or covered with a dental adhesive for 10 days.
