Non-antibacterial tetracycline formulations: clinical applications in dentistry and medicine.
Authors: Gu Y, Walker C, Ryan ME, Payne JB, Golub LM Abstract In 1983, it was first reported that tetracyclines (TCs) can modulate the host response, including (but not limited to) inhibition of pathologic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, and by mechanisms unrelated to the antibacterial properties of these drugs. Soon thereafter, strategies were developed to generate non-antibacterial formulations (subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline; SDD) and compositions (chemically modified tetracyclines; CMTs) of TCs as host-modulating drugs to treat periodontal and other inflammatory diseases. This review focuses on the history and rationale for the development of: (a) SDD which led to two government-approved medications, one for periodontitis and the other for acne/rosacea and (b) CMTs,…

Factors influencing severity of peri?implantitis
ConclusionsThe study indicated that smoking and a prior history of periodontitis were important risk factors for increased severity of peri?implantitis, while concomitant presence of these two risk factors did not further increase the severity of peri?implantitis, as compared to either of these two risk factors alone. Therefore, early diagnosis and adequate treatment of peri?implantitis are important in patients with a prior history of periodontitis and in smokers to minimize the risk of advanced peri?implantitis in conjunction with focus on known risk factors, including meticulous infection control before implant treatment and a systematic maintenance care program.
