Article Title: Efficient Antimicrobial Treatment in Periodontal Maintenance Care Big Idea: In order to determine maintenance treatment, the clinician may have to decide - on a case-by-case basis, what preventive strategy is chosen. Its main purpose should be clear: to control levels of periodontal pathogenic bacteria by treating them with safe and effective therapy. --- Mayte Hernandez

Article Title: Researchers Use Antibiotics To Fight Periodontal Disease Big Idea: The use of scaling and antibiotic in conjunction helps with the progression of advanced periodontal disease inorder to avoid surgery. Mayte Hernandez

Big Idea: Local delivery antibiotics/antimicrobials are a great adjunct therapy to surgical and non surgical procedures when indicated for specific cases. -Alyssa

Big Idea: Perio chip (CHX) is effective at reducing pocket depths when used as an adjunct to SRP.-Martina S #40

Big Idea: The goal of periodontal chemotherapy is to alter the periodontal bacterial flora along with, inhibiting the host reponse, and resulting in improved periodontal status-Chris Fisher #27 big idea: scaling and root planning is more effective in decreasing pocket depth and increasing attachment level when used along with the right antimicrobial agent in periodontal patients. Eman

Big Idea: Root planing with the placement of the CHX chip has an shown to reduce the alkaline phosphatase activity levels within the crevicular fluid, when compared with root planing alone. Elizabeth Munoz #34

Big Idea: Tetracycline is the most effective antimicrobial agent, when compared to metronidazole, and minocycline. Barbara Richardson.

Big Idea: The delivery of antibiotic/antimicrobial agents systemically or topically has been proven to reduce the microbial load by eliminating specific microorganisms that are present in patients that suffer from chronic and/or aggressive periodontitis.- Lyn 26

Big Idea: The use of systemic antimicrobial therapy may depend on the efficacy of the antibiotic and the course of treatment against periodontal disease.-Lyn 26

Big Idea: As far as antimicrobial agents, chlorhexidine gel has a great potential to be used as an endodontic auxiliary chemical substance. Tonya Alcocer #23

Big Idea: The use of local antibiotics and antimicrobials is effective in helping to reduce the amount of pathogens in a periodontal pocket. -Brittany

Big Idea; Because of its ability to concentrate in gingival crevicular fluid, ciproflaxen may be an effective adjunctive treatment for infected periodontal sites. -Brittany

Big Idea: In perodotally involved patients, the placment of antimicrobials in site specific areas can be benificial when used after scaling and root planning. -Nichole #41

Big idea: Systemic antiboitics are effective in obtaining better results for patients with periodontal disease. However systemic antiboitics can also supress micorganisms and cause super infections, opportunistic infections and side effects in patinets that are expecting. - Nichole #41

Big idea: Is the use of antimicrobials/antibiotics providing results that are clinically significant? The research at this point is saying it is probably not for those patients with chronic periodontitis. Christy Heslin #29

Big Idea: The use of local drug delivery appears to be as effective as scaling and root planing with regards to reducing the signs of periodontal inflammatory disease; however, not for those cases with severe chronic periodontal disease that will eventually need periodontal surgery. --Martha #38

Big Idea: The combination of amoxicillin and metronidazole are effective to treat generalized severe chronic periodontitis if used after root planing and scaling, in smokers and non-smoker patients. Elizabeth Munoz #34

Big Idea: The systemic use of antibiotics can be used to treat severe chronic periodontitis in conjunction with ultrasonic scaling- Barbara Richardson #37

Big Idea: This local drug delivery allows the use of concentrations to be approximately 100 times higher than compared to systemic administration, making it the best of choice to treat chronic periodontal infections. Tonya Alcocer #23
