Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between the percentage of subgingival spirochetes and the severity of periodontal disease.
TL;DR: The most significant increases in the relative percentages of subgingival spirochetes occurred when bleeding upon probing was observed as a sign of inflammation and/or when pocket depth and attachment loss exceeded 3 mm.

Metronidazole in Periodontitis: I. Clinical and Bacteriological Results after 15 to 30 Weeks*
TL;DR: The findings indicate that 1 week of systemic metronidazole can optimize the clinical reduction of pockets and increase the apparent attachment in periodontitis patients who receive concurrent mechanical debridement of their root surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of periodontal infections due to anaerobic bacteria with short‐term treatment with metronidazole
TL;DR: The 1-week treatment with metronidazole significantly reduced the proportions of these organisms for up to 6 months after treatment, which suggests that antimicrobial therapy directed against anaerobic organisms may be a valuable adjunct to periodontal therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen Peroxide: A Review of Its Use in Dentistry
TL;DR: In patients, prolonged use of hydrogen peroxide decreased plaque and gingivitis indices, however, therapeutic delivery of H2O2 to prevent periodontal disease required mechanical access to subgingival pockets, and wound healing following gingival surgery was enhanced due to the antimicrobial effects of topically administered hydrogenperoxide.
