Edwin Winkel DDS PhD Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Bacteroides gingivalis and Bacteroides intermedius: predictors of attachment loss? Wennström JL, Dahlén G, Svensson Svensson J, Nyman S Oral Microbiol. Immunol 1987: 2:158-163 It appeared that the absence of these “indicator” bacteria is a better predictor of no further loss of attachment than the presence of them for disease progression Wenström et al 1987 Treatment of Periodontal Disease based on Microbiological Diagnosis. A 5-year follow up on Individual Patterns Dahlén G, Wikström M, Renvert S J Periodontol 1996: 67: 879-887 The results of this study suggest that presence of the indicator bacteria in microbial samples taken after treatment may identivy patients at risk for recurrent periodontitis Dahlén et al 1996 Untreated periodontal disease in Indonesian adolescents. Longitudinal clinical data and prospective clinical and microbiological risk assessment Timmerman, M. F., Van der Weijden, G. A., Abbas, F., Arief, E. M., Armand, S., Winkel, E.

Infection Infection Diagnosis Restoration Three basic steps in periodontology Infection Infection Diagnosis Restoration Advantages of local delivery of antimicrobial agents in periodontics
• high concentrations
• less side-and adverse
• possibility to use broad-spectrum anti-
• less risk for drug- septic agents resistant micro -
• professional organisms at non- application reduces oral body sites problems with compliance A locally delivered drug works when:
• it is adequately subgingivally delivered
• there is sufficient contact time between the agent and the target microorganisms
• it is possible to achieve a sufficiently high concentration
• target microorganisms are sufficiently susceptible to the antimicrobial agent Antimicrobial agents applied in local delivery devices
• Metronidazole (Elyzol)
• Tetracyclines
– tetracycline-HCL (Actisite)
– minocycline (Minocin, Arestin)
– doxycycline (Atridox) Protocol
• In principe geen anesthesie nodig
• EMS met PerioAid 0.12% irrigatie
• Applicatie Atridox
• Gedurende 1 week :
– Vitis Surgical
– PerioAid Tandpasta-gel 0.12% Clinical effects of simple debridement+doxycycline versus thorough SRP after 3 months of active treatment 6 =<3mm PD 6 =<4mm PD 7 =<4mm PD => 2 mm CAG Debr+DOX Treatment Time SRP – Baseline Debr + ATRIDOX – Mon 3 P<0.001 Debr + ATRIDOX – Baseline SRP – Mon 3 Average treatment time in the S/R and the Debridement groups Total:191 Total: 120 Debridement +Atridox Debridement +Atridox Debridement Conclusions Wennström et al. “Results suggest that simplified full mouth ultrasonic debridement, combined with locally delivered controlled release doxycycline in deep pockets was the most favourable of the treatment approaches tested.” Indicaties
• Ondersteuning tijdens de initiële behandeling
• Locaal probleem
• Overgevoeligheid systemische antibiotica
• Geen behoefte aan chirurgie
• Geringe therapietrouw Conclusions
• There is a place for local application of antibiotics in the active periodontal treatment phase
• Sites that may benefit from topical antibiotics are probably:
– sites with recurrent disease activity – refractory sites
• The microbiological profile of a site that will clinically benefit best, needs to be investigated
