Summary: | Aim: This multi‐centre, prospective, controlled trial was designed to examine the biological response of the matrix metalloproteinase(MMP) inhibitor subantimicrobial dose doxycycline (SDD) combined with access flap surgery on periodontal wound repair in patients with chronic severe periodontitis.
Material and Methods: Seventy subjects were enrolled into a 12‐month, randomized, placebo‐controlled, double‐masked trial to evaluate disease response to 6 months therapy and “wash‐out” of either placebo+surgery or SDD (20 mg b.i.d.)+surgery. Primary outcome measure included clinical attachment levels (CAL) and secondary outcomes included probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), as well as gingival crevicular fluid bone marker assessment [collagen telopeptides (ICTP)]. These measurements were taken at baseline through 12 months post‐surgery and drug administration.
Results: Patients treated with SDD and surgery demonstrated stronger reductions in PD in surgically‐treated sites of 7 mm as well as gains in CAL (p |
