Abstract
Metronidazole is effective against certain anaerobic infections such as Bacteroides gingivalis and Spirochetes with clinical signs of rapidly progressive periodontitis and refractory adult periodontitis. The use of Metronidazole in adjuvant with scaling, root planing, and personal oral hygiene instruction caused a significant improvement of the periodontium.
