Proper Case Selection to Ensure Judicious Use of Antimicrobial Agents in the Treatment of Periodontal Disease
Abstract: It is now well-known that dental plaque exists as a biofilm, and specific plaque bacteria such as A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis are responsible for the initiation and progression of periodontitis. Plaque bacteria within the biofilm are partially protected from antibiotics and host immune reactions. The strategy of periodontal treatment should include a break-up of the biofilm and subsequent elimination of periodontal pathogens. Plaque biofilms cannot be eliminated by daily …

Inhibition of Bacterial Communication, Relevance to Periodontics: A Review
Abstract: To survive in hostile environment, bacteria communicate and coordinate their behavior. This cell-to-cell communication and coordination in bacteria or quorum sensing (QS), regulates bacterial growth, metabolism, biofilm formation, virulence factor secretion and various other essential functions in bacterial colonies. Many diseases of human beings, including gingival and periodontal diseases are mediated and regulated by this inter species communication. This high level of interspecies interaction is integral to the development and …
