摘要:
This article discussesthe ability of metronidazole to improve periodontal health. Review of the drug's pharmacology and potential side effects indicate that it poses little threat to humans of inducing acute toxicity, mutagenesis, or cancer if used according to recommended dosing regimens. Studies addressing metronidazole utilization in a variety of clinical conditions demonstrate that its routine use does not enhance root planing. However, adjunctive antibiotic therapy may be advantageous in the treatment of sites where effective root planing is precluded due to deep pockets or when anaerobic periodontal infections do not respond to conventional therapy.J Periodontol 1993; 64:1– 15.
