In this study, 21 patients diagnosed as adult periodontitis were divided into 4 groups. One quadrant with an average of 6mm deep pocket depth was chosen from each individual - Group A inserted tetra-cycline fiber after removing supragingival calculus while group RP had calculus removal and root planning alone. Group RP+A received combination of these treatments while group C received none. Plaque index, bleeding on probing, pocket depth, attachment level, and distribution of subgingival plaque were compared and evaluated among these groups at periods of first visit, 4th week and 8th week. The results were as follows ; 1. Plaque index and bleeding on probing improved after treatment and no significant difference was found between the groups. 2. When comparing the change in pocket depth between the groups, the use of tetracycline fiber showed significant reducton in pocket depth comparable to root planing. Combined therapy of tetracycline fiber and root planing showed synergistic effect in pocket depth reduction. 3. When comparing the change in attachment level between the groups, the use of tetracycline fiber showed significant increase in clinical attachment level comparable to root planing, but no synergistic effect was found in the combined therapy. 4. When comparing the change in the motile bacteria ratio between the groups, group RP and group RP+A showed significant decrease compared with control group. 5. There were no severe adverse effects from using tetracycline fiber, except for a few patient who experienced mild discomfort. In summary, the use of local adminstration of tetracycline fiber in adjunction to mechenical treatment can be effective for adult periodontitis.

치주질환은 세균에 의한 감염성 질환으로, 기계적 치태제거에 의한 치료의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 항세균 제재를 통한 화학적 치태 및 세균제거가 필요하게 되었다. 전신적으로 항생제를 투여할 경우 유효농도의 유지를 위해 많은 양의 약물이 투여되어야 하고, 여러가지 부작용의 위험이 있으므로, 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위한 국소 약물 송달체계가 필요하게 되었다. 본 실험의 목적은 치주질환 치료에 가장 많이 쓰이는 tetracycline을 calcium sulfate와 혼합하여, calcium sulfate의 서방형 국소 약물 송달효과에 대해 알아보고자 함이다. Modified calcium sulfate paste 와 10% tetracycline을 혼합한 것을 실험 1군으로, calcium sulfate와 10% tetracycline을 혼합하여 완전 경화 시킨 것을 실험 2군으로, calcium sulfate와 10% tetracycline을 혼합하여 경화되기 전에 사용한 것을 실험 3군으로, tetracycline-ethylene vinyl acetate fiber를 실험 4군으로 하여 시간별 tetracycline 방출농도, 유효농도 지속시간, calcium sulfate의 흡수기간 등을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 실험 1군은 실험 5주까지 유효농도($4{\mu}g/ml$)이상의 농도를 유지하였고, 실험 2군은 실험 9일까지 유지하였으며, 실험 3군은 실험 7일까지 유효농도이상의 농도를 유지하였고, 실험 4군은 실험 15일까지 유지하였다. 2. 실험 2군은 평균 11.8일에 완전 용해 되었고, 실험 3군은 14.8일에 완전용해되었다. 3. 실험 2군과 3군은 실험 1주까지 방출된 tetracycline의 농도에 유의차를 보이지 않았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 볼 때, calcium sulfate는 tetracycline과 혼합하였을 때 일정 기간 동안 충분한 양의 tetracycline을 방출시키고, $11{\sim}14$일 정도 후에는 완전히 녹아 없어지므로, 서방형 국소 약물 송달 제재로서 가능성이 있으리라 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to compare effects of demineralization of citric acid and tetracycline HCI on periodontally involved root surface. Twelve periodontally involved single rooted teeth were used. After scaling and root planing, root conditioning with citric acid and tetracycline HCI were carried and the teeth were processed scanning electron microscopic observation.The results were as follows: The scaled root surface was covered by much debris and calculus. The effect of demineralization of citric acid and tetracycline HCI was more reduced on scaling group than root planing group, because of hypermineralization of cementum surface and demineralization effect on root surface of tetracycline HCI showed tendency to reduction. The root planed group displayed more smooth root surface than scaling group, the surface was covered by smear layer, thus no exposure of dentinal tubule opening and collagen fiber, especially after root planing, citric acid and tetracycline HCl treated group showed exposure of dentinal tubule and collagen fiber, thus it was thought that new connective tissue attachment could be acquired.

An essential fact in the regeneration of new periodontal tissue after periodontal therapy is the reattachment of collagen fibers to the tooth. Two phenomena play a fundamental role in preventing new connective tissue attachment to the exposed root surface ; 1) The apical migration of the junctional epithelium 2) The contamination of cementum by toxic substances, especially endotoxins. Authors have used rat submucosal implantation of root sections to study the connective tissue healing to periodontally diseaed root, previously planed and demineralized with citric acid and tetracycline- HCl. The results were obtained as follows. 1. The connective tissue attachment was increased in tetracycline, citric acid, non disease, scaling and root planing order and inflammatory reaction was seen in the rat teeth, no treatment group. 2. Collagen fiber attachment at the dentin surface was more increased than cementum surface 3. In 2 week of citric acid and tetracycline-HCl specimens, osteoid was seen near the fibrotic band. 4. In the MT view, collagen fiber formation was increased with time and the numerous collagen fiber and connective tissue was more densly attached to the tooth surfaces in the tetracycline-HCl group than the citric acid group.

The encapsulation of bacteria may be used to harness them for longer periods of time in order to make them viable, whereas antibiotic treatment would result in controlled release of therapeutic molecules. Encapsulated Escherichia coli GFP (green fluorescent protein) (E. coli GFP) was used here as a model for therapeutic substance - GFP fragments release (model of bioactive substances). Our aim was to evaluate the performance of bacteria encapsulated in hollow fibers (HFs) treated with antibiotic for induction of cell death. The polypropylene-surface-modified HFs were applied for E. coli encapsulation. The encapsulated bacteria were treated with tetracycline in vitro or in vivo during subcutaneous implantation into mice. The HF content was evaluated in a flow cytometer, to assess the bacteria cell membrane permeability changes induced by tetracycline treatment. It was observed that the applied membranes prevented release of bacteria through the HF wall. The E. coli GFP culture encapsulated in HF in vitro proved the tetracycline impact on bacteria viability and allows the recognition of the sequence of events within the process of bacteria death. Treatment of the SCID mice with tetracycline for 8 h proved the tetracycline impact on bacteria viability in vivo, raising the necrotic bacteria-releasing GFP fragments. It was concluded that the bacteria may be safely enclosed within the HF at the site of implantation, and when the animal is treated with antibiotic, bacteria may act as a local source of fragments of proteins expressed in the bacteria, a hypothetical bioactive factor for the host eukaryotic organism.

This study was designed to examine the effect of tetracycline application to the planed periodontal surgery of the experimentally induced periodontal disease in dogs. Modified Widman flap surgery was done and aqueous tetracycline (1%) was applied to the root surface for 5min, after which the wound was rinsed with saline, and flaps were coronally repositioned. Root surface ntoches were used as reference points. The animals were sacrificed 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after surgery, and block sections of tooth and surround tissue were processed for conventional light and electron microscopy. The results were as follows : 1. A more coronal position of junctional epithelium was observed in the area treated with tetracycline. 2. In the most of the tetracycline - treated teeth, the new collagen fibrils of connective tissue were oriented vertical/or oblique and parallel to the root surface. The vertical or oblique fibers were inserted into the denuded dentin matrix and contacted with exposed dentin collagen fibrils. 3. In the tetracycline - treated root, new cementum apposition, most of acellular extrinsic fiber cementum, was seen with bundles of oriented collagen fibrils incoporating into the cementum. 4. In the control and tetracyclin - treated teeth, bone resorption was observed at the alveolar crest in the 1 week groups.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Nd:YAG laser treatment on removal of smear layer and exposure of dentinal tubules. The experimental specimens were obtained from root planed surface of 30 human teeth which were extracted due to severe periodontal disease. The specimens were assigned randomly of three groups: root planed group, Tetracycline HCl(100mg/ml, 5min) group, and Nd:YAG laser ($Laser-35^{TM}$, U.S.A. 5 seconds )group. Nd:YAG laser group was divided into 4 subgroups according to 3.0W, 3.5W, 4.0W, 4.5W of power. The surface change of specimens were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The number of exposed dentinal tubules and percentage of area occupied by dentinal tubule orifices per unit area between each group was statistically analyzed by paired Student t-test. The results were as follows: 1. By root planing only, dentinal tubule was not exposed, but scale-like smear layer and parallel instrument tracks were resulted. 2. Tetracycline HCl treated surfaces exhibited the small number of partially exposed dentinal tubules with long orifices. The number($3.80{\pm}0.79$) of exposed dentinal tubules on Tetracycline HCl group was significantly less than that in laser groups above 3.5W of power(P<0.001), and the percentage ($0.68{\pm}0.19$) of area occufied by dentinal tubule orifices per unit area($192\;{\mu}m^2$) was significantly lower than that of any laser group(P<0.001). 3. The laser group irradiated with 4.5W of power showed both the most number($10.60{\pm}0.97$) of exposed dentinal tubules among the experimental groups, and the highest percentage($3.75{\pm}0.55\;%$) of area occupied by dentinal tubule orifices. 4. Energy Surge during laser pulsing and overlapping passes of the fiber resulted in melted and resolidified surface textures with lava-like appearance.

The goal of periodontal therapy is the periodontal regeneration by the removal of microorganisms and their toxic products from the periodontally diseased root surface. To achieve periodontal regeneration, root conditioning as an adjunct to root planing has been done. There are low pH etchants such as citric acid, tetracycline-HCl, and EDTA solution which is a neutral chelating agent. The purpose of present study was to examine the effect of root conditioning by citric acid, tetracycline HCl, and EDTA. Total 35 root specimens(6${\times}$3${\times}$2mm) were prepared from the periodontally diseased teeth, scaled and root planed. The specimens were treated with normal saline for 1 minute, saturated citric acid(pH 1) for 3 minutes, 50mg/ml tetracycline-HCl(pH 2) for 5 minutes, 15% EDTA(pH 7) for 5 minutes using rubbing technique. The specimens were examined under scanning electron microscopy at 1000, and 3000 magnification. On the microphotographs taken at 1000 magnification, the numbers of opened and patent dentinal tubules per unit area(10,640${\mu}m^2$) were counted. And the diameters of opened dentinal tubules per unit are (10,640${\mu}m^2$) were measured. The differences of number and diameter among all groups were statistically analyzed by Kruskal Wallis Test. The results were as follows; 1. In the specimens applied with normal saline(control group), the root surface was finely cracked, and was covered by irregular smear layer. Neither exposed dentinal tubules nor any patent dentinal tubules could be seen. 2. In the specimens applied with saturated citric acid(experimental 1 group), the globular collagen fibers were exposed around the peritubular space, and many dentinal tubules were revealed. 3. In the specimens applied with tetracycline-HCl(experimental 2 group), the process-like collagen fibers were exposed around the peritubular space, and some dentinal tubules were revealed. 4. In the specimens applied with 15% EDTA(experimental 3 group), the root surface was covered by the collagenous fibrillar network, and many dentinal tubules were revealed. 5. The numbers of opened and patent dentinal tubules were significantly more in exp. 1 group and exp. 3 group than in exp. 2 group(P<0.05). But there was no significant difference between exp. 1 group and exp. 3 group. In control group, the number of opened and patent dentinal tubules could not be counted because any dentinal tubules couldn't be seen. 6 . The diameter of opened dentinal tubules was significantly smaller in exp. 1 group and exp. 3 group than in exp. 2 group(P<0.05). But there was no significant difference between exp. 1 group and exp. 3 group. In control group, the diameter of opened dentinal tubules could not be measured because any dentinal tubules couldn't be seen. The results demonstrate that root conditioning with citric acid, tetracycline- HCl, and EDTA is more effective in periodontal healing than only root planing, and 15% EDTA solution can replace low pH etching agents such as citric acid, tetracycline-HCl for root conditioning.
