Abstract:- Periodontitis is a disease attributable to multiple infectious agents and interconnected with cellular and humoral host responses. It results from extension of the inflammatory process initiated in the gingiva to the supporting periodontal tissues. Periodontal pockets provide natural reservoir bathed by gingival crevicular fluid that is easily accessible for the insertion of a delivery device. Controlled release delivery of antimicrobials is a therapeutic intervention directly into periodontal pockets and is available in various forms like gels, monolithic devices, irrigation systems, chips, films, strips, microspheres, fibres etc. It is an effective monotherapy that has evoked a great interest and appears to hold a sound promising result in periodontal treatment. It does not substitute the local instrumentation but acts as an adjunct to it. These local agents bypass the adverse effects of systemically administered antimicrobial agents, as well stabilize the attachment apparatus and reduce the probing depth thereby allowing better control and management of periodontal disease.
Keywords:- Gingivitis, Periodontitis, Local drug delivery, Periodontal Pocket. |
