The greater reduction of deep sites using A+M has been demonstrated by Cionca et al . 16 A+M subjects had a significantly lower mean number of persisting pockets >4 mm that bled on probing in comparison to the control group (3.0 sites in the SRP group versus 0.4 sites in the A+M group). The number of persisting bleeding pockets was 7.5 times greater if the subjects had not received the antibiotics.

also showed that participants who received A+M after full mouth periodontal debridement had significantly fewer sites with a persisting PD >4 mm and BOP than control patients at three months.

17 This was true for both Aa ?positive as well as Aa ?negative patients. A+M at initial phase also reduced the need for additional surgical treatment. 18 Similar results were also shown in other trials. 49, 68 For aggressive periodontitis, 74% of pockets with PPD ?5 mm at baseline were 4 mm or shallower at six months in the A+M group compared to ciprofloxacin amoxicillin 54% in the placebo group. 28 To our knowledge, no trials looked at the effect of Az in reducing the number of deep sites. The studies instead, mainly looked at mean reductions of PPD and/or gain in CAL. At three months, there was no difference in the mean number of shallow, moderate and deep sites between the groups (ANOVA test). However, an additional comparative test was carried out to compare the change in the mean number of sites for each PPD category (number of sites at baseline minus number of sites at review) between the treatment groups. It was felt that in this study sample, at baseline, the number of sites with mild, moderate and deep PPD did not seem to be evenly distributed between the groups.

Despite the absence of statistically significant difference between the groups at baseline, clinically, considerable differences were observed.

The Az group had a greater number of shallow sites compared to other two treatment groups at baseline. The Az group also had less number of sites with 4–6mm PPD compared to the SRP and the A+M groups at baseline.

This difference at baseline could influence the resultant number of sites at three months.

For this reason, comparing the magnitude of change in number of sites (shallow, moderate and deep) that was produced by each medication was a more reliable

method

In other words: Was there a difference in the magnitude of increase of shallow sites between the treatment groups?

Was there a difference in the magnitude of decrease of moderate sites between the treatment groups? Was there a difference in the magnitude of decrease of deep sites between the treatment groups? This

analysis

At three months, the mean number of shallow sites increased by 21.0 sites in the Az group and 41.9 sites in the A+M group.

This difference between the Az and A+M groups was significant ( p ?value = 0.05).

These results may suggest that A+M has a better effect than Az in shifting the moderate and deep sites to the shallow category.

As for the moderate and deep sites, no significant difference was noted between the treatment groups. The figure shows that although the baseline numbers indicate the A+M group had less shallow sites than the Az, at the three months, the number of shallow sites in the A+M increased significantly to ‘catch up’ with the Az group. A similar trend but in reverse is also seen in the 4–6 mm and the >6 mm category. The graph shows that the reduction in mean number of moderate and deep sites is more evident in the A+M amoxicillin and keflex group (but not statistically significant). A larger sample size with a larger number of moderate and deep sites could have depicted a significant difference between the groups. It is also not possible to compare this analysis with previous studies as it has not been executed before.

Ideally, 19 subjects per group (a total of 57 patients) would have provided 80% power of the study.

Therefore, the results of this study should be interpreted with caution. Further studies with a larger sample size could provide more definite conclusions.

Being a three?month trial, no conclusions can be drawn from the data presented here with regard to long?term stability.

It has been shown in a long?term study by Goodson et al .

that the effects of adjunctive therapy to SRP were minimal at three months and more pronounced. 25 The clinical improvement may continue to occur 3–9 months after the first SRP and long?term stability can be maintained for many years with regular SPT and good patient compliance. 61, 69, 70 The level of compliance of the medication intake was based on a checklist provided to the patients. Only subjects who have complied with the regimen were included in the follow?up analysis. However, it is not possible to verify if

The probing pressure and angulation of the probe may introduce variability in the results.

It is important to note that most of the above mentioned studies (including the current trial) did not use the microbial composition of the subgingival plaque as a selection criterion for antibiotic therapy.

It has been recommended that the use of antibiotics should be based on microbial analysis.

Adjunctive antibiotics may be of minimal clinical benefit in the absence of Aa 26 and Pg 73 in periodontitis patients.

Microbial diagnostics prior to AB prescription can also minimize the risk for antimicrobial resistance, which is becoming a global emerging challenge in the control of infectious diseases.

Within the limitations of the study, it can be concluded that adjunctive systemic antibiotics used during the initial phase of treatment (in conjunction with thorough mechanical debridement) may have an additional benefit in the clinical outcomes.

A+M showed a higher reduction in PPDs compared to Az in the ‘all sites analysis’. In molars, the reduction in BOP and PPD was more in the A+M than the SRP.

Gain of CAL in molar sites was only detected in the two antibiotic

groups

The pocket depth of the 4–6 mm category also reduced more in the A+M than the SRP.

Comparing 3 versus 7 days systemic administration of Amoxicillin (AMX) and Metronidazole (MET) in severe chronic periodontitis patients.

Background and study aims Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease mainly initiated by bacteria residing in biofilms at and below the gingival margins.

It affects the tissues surrounding the teeth involving progressive loss of the tooth supporting structures. Initial treatment includes the removal of bacterial deposits from the tooth structures through mechanical cleaning called scaling and root planning (SRP).

Because bacteria are found in areas that hard to reach, SRP does not remove all bacteria and antibacterial agents (antibiotics and antiseptics) are also used. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes following non-surgical periodontal therapy (performed within 24 hours) in conjunction with adjunctive Amoxicillin (AMX) and Metronidazole (MET) administered systemically for 3 and 7 days in patients with severe chronic periodontitis.

Participants are randomly allocated to one of three treatment groups: - control group: non-surgical periodontal treatment (SRP) within 24 hours and dummy pills (3 times daily) for 7 days - antibiotic group 1: SRP within 24h, then the following 3 days Amoxicilline and Metronidazole (both 500 mg 3 times daily), and then for another 4 days dummy pills (3 times daily) - antibiotic group 2: SRP within 24h, then the following 7 days Amoxicilline and Metronidazole (both 500 mg 3 times daily) What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
