Local Antibiotic Treatments
The placement of antibiotics below the gum line in localized sites may be considered as an adjunct to scaling and root planning or even during periodontal maintenance. Studies have shown that these agents help reduce the bacteria under the gum line as well as pocket depths and contribute to a reduction in inflammation. The placement of these agents is simple and painless.
