The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of 5% tetracycline(Tc) gel on healing of gingival tissue and change of diseased root surface when used with nonsurgical procedure. 7 patients with advanced periodontitis were received thorough scaling and root planning, followed by saline irrigation on 10 randomly selected control teeth and Tc gel application for 5 minutes with specifically designed plastic instrument of 10 test teeth in contralateral side. At 0, 1, 7, 14, and 21 days after treatment, biopsy and extraction were carried out. At day 7, Tc group showed decreased inflammation and delayed proliferation of pocket epithelium in comparison with control group which was continued for all experimental days. Scanning electron microscopic finding revealed demineralized and cleaned root surface with exposed dentinal tubules in Tc gel group. In the present study, clinically successful result is expected with combined use of nonsurgical periodontal therapy and intrapocket application of Tc gel.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of 5% tetracycline(Tc) with or without citric acid on periodontally diseased root surfaces. Six single-rooted teeth extracted from one patient was selected and received thorough scaling and root planning, followed by saline irrigation. Each one tooth was divided into eight fragments with a thin separating disc. Total 48 fragments were prepared and setted into 4 groups for this study. Group I (control group)were treated with saline. Group II were treated with 5% Tc gel. Group III were treated with 33% citric acid-5% Tc gel. Group IV were treated with Tc solution. All the specimens are evaluated under Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). Group I showed large amount of debris in spite of thorough scaling and root planing, but Group II, III & IV showed clean and soft root surface texture. In higher magnification(x3, 000), Group II, III & IV showed nunmerous dentinal tubules, especially Group IV showed collagen fibrils. In the present study, Tc gel and Tc gel with citric showed clinically successful result when treated on periodontally diseased root surface, in vitro.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological outcomes following the use of 30% minocycline-loaded polycaprolacton film and 2% minocycline-loaded gel that was applied locally into pockets combined with scaling and root planing. 25 human subjects who were non-pregnant, non-lactating, aged 20-50 and diagnosed as moderate to advanced adult periodontitis were enrolled. Subjects were excluded if they had a history of severe acute or chronic systemic disease, if they required antibiotic prophylaxis for dental treatment for any reason, or if they reported a history suggestive of hypersensitivity reactions to minocycline or tetracycline. 4quadrants that had several teeth with a 5-8mm probing pocket depth and radiographic evidence of alveolar bone loss for each patient were selected and divided into test sites and control sites according to the split-mouth design. Scaling and root planing was done for each site at baseline(0week). Test sites received the minocycline gel and strip and control sites had saline irrigation. The patients received both treatments simyltaneously. Subgingival irrigation of sterile saline was applied to the control sites for approximately 30 seconds. Minocycline strip and gel was applied into the periodontal pocket at 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks each after scaling and root planing in the test sites. The clinical and microbiological measurements were made at baseline and at the follow-up visits 6, 10, 14, 20 weeks. The results of this study were as follows; 1. The sulcular bleeding index, probing pocket depth and Periocheck test was significantly reduced and the relative proportions of spirochetes and motile rods were significantly reduced and the proportion of cocci was correspondingly increased, in locally delivered minocycline strip group compared to saline irrigation group. 2. In locally delivered minocycline gel group, The effect was the same with minocycline strip group as compared with saline irrigation therapy. 3. There was no significant differences between minocycline strip group and minocycline gelgroup. In conclusion, minocycline HCl local drug delivery combined with scaling and root planing may provide added improvement of clinical and microbiological responses by inhibiting bacterial recolonization of treated sites. It is suggested that the local administration of minocycline-HCl in the periodontal pocket is effective when combined with subgingival mechanical debridement.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the substantivity of experimentally developed gel type tetracycline HCl and a mixture of tetracycline-citric acid gel, and compare to those of solution type tetracycline HCl. 11 extracted anterior teeth were subjected to this study. After scaling and root planing teeth were randomly divided into 3 treatments groups : group 1; 3 teeth were irrigated with tetracycline HCl(50mg/ml) solution , group 2; tetracycline gel (5%) was inserted in the periodontal pockets of 3 teeth, group 3; a mixture of tetracycline and citric acid gel was inserted in the pockets of 3 teeth. And 2 teeth treated in 0.9 % sterile saline served as controls. After 5-minute exposure, each tooth immediately extracted and incubated at room temperature for 22 days in tris-buffered saline as a desorption media. The total volume of TBS was removed and replaced with fresh TBS, at 24-h intervals. Removed desorption media transferred to a sterile vial and stored at -70 oC. This procedure was repeated every 24 h throughout the 22-day desorption period. Using Porphyromonas gingivalis as an indicator organism, a microtiter assay was used to evaluate antimicrobial activity desorbed from the teeth. 1. 50mg/ml tetracycline HCl solution exhibited the longest antimicrobial activity. Compared to saline treated group, it showed significant difference on the day 1 and day 2 desorption period. 2. The ODs of 5% tetracycline gel and a mixture of tetracycline-citric acid gel were significantly different during the first 24 hour only. 3. There was no statistically significant difference after the day 3 between the groups.(p<0.05). Despite our expectation a mixture of tetracycline-citric acid gel did not show longer antimicrobial activities than those of tetracycline gel, and the solution type exhibited the longest activities. Because the gel type agents may stay in the subgingival environment longer than the solution, if the teeth were not extracted immediately after the delivery of the agent, the result could be different. hus this result suggests the possibilities of practical use of these kind of gel type agents.

치주질환의 처치에 있어서 tetracycline의 전신적 투여는 치은연하 세균의 제거 및 감소에 매우 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 전신적 투여시의 문제점 보완과 국소적 투여시 기할 수 있는 병소부위의 보다 높은 농도의 유지를 위하여 국소도포용 tetracycline gel을 제조하여 예비실험을 시행하였으며, 본 실험에서는 치주낭 깊이 $4{\sim}6mm$의 중등도 치주염 환자 13명에서 double-blind, split-mouth design으로 상악 또는 하악중 한악은 scaling 및 root planing을 시행하였고, 나머지 악은 그대로 두었으며, 좌측 또는 우측중 한측에는 예비실험결과 가장 효과가 있는 것으로 나타난 국소도포용 3% tetracycline gel을 치주낭내 깊숙히 주2회 2주간 투여하여, (1) tetracycline-scaled (2) tetracycline-unscaled (3) placebo-scaled (4) placebo-unscaled의 4군에서 0일, 14일, 49일에 임상적, 미생물학적 검사를 시행하여 각기 그 효과를 비교하였다. 또한 치주질환과 관련이 깊은, 그람 음성혐기성 세균, 특히 black-pigmented Bacteroides의 분포 변화를 관찰하기 위하여, 시험부위에서 치은연하 치태세균을 채취하여 pre-reduced Ringer액에 혐기성조건으로 보관 운반하여 $37^{\circ}C$혐기성 세균 배양기 내에서 혈액배지에 담아 7일간 배양하여 분리한 후, 생화학 검사를 통하여 Bacteroides균주를 검정하였으며, 이로써 tetracycline투여와 관련된 치주질환의 disease activity를 분석 검토하였다. 이상의 임상적, 미생물학적 검사결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 예비실험 결과 국소도포시 가장 효과가 있었던 3% tetracycline gel은 본 실험사용시 치주질환치료 및 치은연하 세균분포변화에 매우 효과가 있으며, 임상적으로 scaling, root planing과 병행시에 가장 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 2. Bacterial morphotype의 관찰결과 tetracycline투여군에서 coccal form의 증가와 spirochetes의 현저한 감소를 보였으며, non-motile rods와 motile rods의 비율에는 다소증감이 있었으나 의미있는 변화는 없었다. 3. Streptococcus균주간의 분포 비율은 tetracycline-scaled군에서 S. sanguis I은 14일에 현저히 증가하였고, 49일에는 다소 감소하였으며, S. mitis는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 4. Tetracycline-scaled군에서는 black-pigmented Bacteroides의 비율이 현저히 감소하였으며, tetracycline 투여만으로도 black-pigmented Bacteroides 비율은 감소되었다. 그러나 scaling만으로는 black-pigmented Bacteroides 비율에는 변화를 주지못했다. 5. Black-pigmented Bacteroides 균주간의 분포를 보면 실험 및 대조군 모두에서 B. loeschii가 가장 많이 나타났으며, 시간의 경과에 따라 거의 변화가 얼었다. 또한 tetracycline 투여군에서는 B. intermedius와 B. gingivalis가 감소하였고, B. melaninogenicus는 증가하였다.

In order to evaluate the therapeutic effect of argon laser irradiation on hypersensitive root, 60 mandibular premolars that had been extracted due to periodontal disease were treated by thorough scaling, root planing and root conditioning with tetracycline HCI(100mg/ml, 5 min.) for induction of hypersensitive root. Within middle one third of root mesial surface(30) or distal surface(30) was randomly irradiated by 0.5W-, 0.75W- and 1.0W-power for 2 minutes argon laser(HGM Inc., USA) with or without topical application of 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel(Pascal, USA). After all teeth were maintained in 2% methylene blue solution for 48 hours and cross-sectioned through irradiated surface of dried roots, methylene blue stained area was compared between irradiated side and nonirradiated side. Following results were obtained : 1. Methylene blue stained area was significantly less in the laser irradiated group than control group(p<0.05). 2. There was no significant difference in methylene blue stained area between 0.5W-power and 0.75W-power group(p>0.1) and between 0.75W-power and 1.0W-power group(p>0.1), but there was significant difference between 0.5W-power and 1.0W-power group(p<0.05). 3. There was no significant difference in methylene blue stained area between two groups with and without topical application of 0.12% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel(p>0.1). The results suggest that argon laser irradiation on hypersensitive root may reduce the hypersensitivity by obstruction of dentinal tubules.
