The specific plaque hypothesis and the antimicrobial treatment of periodontal disease
Dent Update.
1992 Mar.
Abstract
According to the specific plaque hypothesis a measurable amount of periodontal disease is due to the overgrowth of specific bacterial types. The author advocates the theory and discusses treatment. This includes techniques for diagnosing the predominant bacterial types, antibiotic therapy and the relevance of regular debridement.
