DEPARTMENT OF PERIODONTCS

ANTIBIOTICS IN
PERIODONTCS
1
ANTIBIOTIC
• Antibiotics , which are chemical substance
originally produced by microorgnism,either
retard the growth of microorganism
or result in their death
• Now some antibiotics are chemically
synthesized or semi synthesized

2
An Ideal Antibiotcs Should be
1. Selective and effective against micro organism
2. Bactericidal more than bacteriostatics
3 Not ineffective as a result of bacterical
resistance
4. Not be inactivated by enzyme, plasma, protein
or by body fluid
5. Maintained for sufficient period in blood plasma
6. Have minimal adverse effect
3
Classification of Antibiotic
• Based on chemical structure
1 sulfonamides- sulfadiazine, PAS
2 Quinolones - ciprofloxacin , Nalidixic acid
3 Tetracyclines – Doxycycline, Tetracycline
4 Aminoglycosides – Gentamycin,
streptomycin
5 Macrolides – Erythromycin, Roxithromycin,
Azithromycin
6 B lactam antibiotic- Penicillins
Cephalosporacin

4
7 Nitroimidazoles - Metronidazole,
Tinidazole
8 Imidazoles derivatives- ketoconazole,
9 Polypeptides Antibiotic – Bacitracin
Polymyxin -B
10 Nicotinic acid derivatives
Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide

5
Common Antibiotic used in
PERIODONTCS
Tetracycline
Metronidazole
Amoxicillin
Clindamycin
Cephalosporin
Ciprofloxin

6
Antibiotic Resistance
• Microorganism are some time resistance or
unaffected by an antibiotic
• Resistance can be
Natural, that present before contact with drug
Acquired, that developed during exposure
with drug
• The development of acquired resistance
is genetic, with change in DNA , and is
inherited by subsequent generation
7
* Micro organism are resistance to particular drug
frequently are resistance to other chemically
related antimicrobial agent
This is referred as Cross Resistance
* In antibiotic resistance implies
In activation of antibiotic by bacterial
enzyme
Development of alternate pathway of
drug metabolism by bacteria
Biochemical alternation in the bacteria that
prevent the uptake or binding of the antibiotic

8
TETRACYCLINE
• Widely used in treatment of periodontics
• Broad spectrum antibiotics
• Effective aganist remove > gram- ve
• MOA - inhibiting protein synthesis in
bacteria
• Bacteriostatics, effective against rapidly
multiplying bacteria
9
Tetracycline Effective in treating
periodontal disease because
1. Their concentration in GCF is 2 to 10 times
more than blood serum
2. Ability to concentrate in POCKET
3. Inhibit the growth of
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
4. Have anti collagenase effect inhibiting tissue
destruction
5. Increase bone regeneration
10
