Abstract
Background: Combining antibiotics with non-surgical periodontal therapy has a beneficial impact in case of infection while its role for dental-related outcomes is still unclear.
Objectives: The current study's main objective was to evaluate the impact of adding adjuvant systemic and topical antimicrobial therapy to non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Material and methods: A systematic literature search was accomplished and 1,093 study participants with periodontal diseases were recruited to the current study; 541 of them were treated with adjuvant systemic or topical antimicrobial agents and 552 with non-surgical interventions. The inclusion criteria of the current study took into account only randomized clinical trials.
Results: Adding systemic antibiotics to non-surgical intervention resulted in a significant enhancement regarding probing pocket depth reduction (PPD). Metronidazole/amoxicillin showed a significant impact on PPD and the clinical attachment level (CAL), while doxycycline showed no significant impact regarding CAL. Using topical antimicrobial agents showed a significant beneficial role in reducing PPD regarding doxycycline, while non-significant effects were seen with metronidazole.
Conclusion: Adding adjuvant systemic and topical antimicrobial agents to non-surgical periodontal therapy showed a beneficial impact regarding PPD and CAL (metronidazole/amoxicillin and doxycycline). In addition, using doxycycline as a topical agent showed a beneficial impact on the reduction of PPD.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
