[Comparative study of 2 antibiotic combinations in the treatment of rapidly progressing periodontitis].
To get rid efficiently of anaerobics bacteria, which constituted the flora associated to periodontitis, the periodontal therapy is now moving towards 2 or 3 antibiotics association. The aim of this study is to make a comparison between the efficacy of the association of amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid and that of amoxicillin plus metronidazole into 20 patients suffering from rapidly progressive periodontitis. The results have shown that both forms of antibiotics association are efficacious in rapidly progressive periodontitis treatment, with the same action on clinical parameters.
