Management of peri-implantitis using local drug delivery among Indian patients

Bioinformation. 2023 Dec 31;19(13):1301-1306. doi: 10.6026/973206300191301. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTIt is of interest to compare 0.2% chlorhexidine gel, 0.2% chlorhexidine chip, minocycline microspheres and slow-release doxycycline gel and tetracycline fibers as drug delivery systems in the management of peri-implantitis. The study comprised of 105 Indian participants who had a minimum of one dental implant with a probing depth of 4 mm, along with exudate and/or bleeding upon probing along with the presence of potentially harmful germs. The use of minocycline microspheres and 0.2% chlorhexidine gel resulted in significant improvements in probing depths at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months and all treatments showed decline in the indicator bacteria. Thus, minocycline microspheres and 0.2% chlorhexidine gel is useful as an adjuvant for mechanical debridement in management of peri-implantitis.PMID:38415045 | PMC:PMC10895527 | DOI:10.6026/973206300191301
