title: [Chemotherapy as a periodontal treatment].
abstract: As the number of aged periodontal patients with systemic disease has increased, it is important to consider the risk of periodontal surgery. Combination of non-surgical periodontal and local/systemic chemotherapy has reported to improve outcome of patients significantly. Local/systemic chemotherapy is also effective for periodontal disease on dental implant. We discuss these new treatment for periodontal disease.
