Antibiotics in the Treatment of Periodontitis: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Introduction. Systemic antibiotics present one of the alternative adjunctive therapies in nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT). Different protocols have been proposed, but their indication and effectiveness are still controversial. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the addi...
