TLDR
Clindamycin seemed to be a useful antibiotic and could be recommended for empirical antimicrobial treatment, with the exception of the periodontopathogenic species Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Eikenella corrodens.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Local delivery of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of periodontal diseases.
TL;DR: There are insufficient comparative data to support any of the local delivery system for antibiotherapy, and local delivery of antimicrobial agents using controlled release systems should be considered as adjunctive to mechanical debridement for the treatment of localized forms of periodontal destruction.

Antibiotic resistance in general dental practice—a cause for concern?
TL;DR: It is concluded that better use of diagnostic services, surveillance and improvements in dental education are required now to lessen the impact of antibiotic resistance in the future.

Effectiveness of Systemic Amoxicillin/Metronidazole as Adjunctive Therapy to Scaling and Root Planing in the Treatment of Chronic Periodontitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: The findings of this meta-analysis seem to support the effectiveness of SRP + AMX/MET; however, future studies are needed to confirm these results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance of subgingival species during and after antibiotic therapy.
TL;DR: Systemic antibiotic administration transiently increased the percentage of resistantSubgingival plaque and saliva samples from chronic periodontitis patients treated by scaling and root planing followed by orally administered amoxicillin or metronidazole to determine antibiotic resistance.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Anaerobes
TL;DR: Resistance to beta-lactam drugs, clindamycin, tetracyclines, and 5-nitroimidazoles (metronidazole) has been observed and the level of chloramphenicol susceptibility remains quite high, whereas uniform resistance to aminoglycosides and quinolones is observed.

Microbial Composition and Pattern of Antibiotic Resistance in Subgingival Microbial Samples From Patients With Refractory Periodontitis
TL;DR: The results indicate that a substantial number of microorganisms associated with refractory periodontitis are variably resistant to commonly-used antibiotics.

TL;DR: It was concluded that beta-Lactamase activity in subgingival bacteria in adult periodontitis is a common feature and the clinical relevance of this observation with regard to therapy with unprotected enzyme-susceptible beta-lactams is uncertain, though failure on the other hand is difficult to rule out when a mechanism of resistance is present.
