Twenty diabetic patients (NIDDM) were divided into two groups. In the first group the patients mechanical debridement was only performed while in the second group they were instructed to use 100 mg of doxycycline together with professional mechanical debridement. Clinical parameters: Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Periodontal pocket depth and Attachment level assessment were recorded at the time of initial examination and two weeks after administration of doxycycline and/or after mechanical debridement. Histological examination was also performed at the beginning of the study, after control of diabetes, two weeks after both types of treatment modalities and two weeks after stoppage of the drug. The results of the present study revealed that adjunctive treatment by doxycycline gave better Gingival Index p<0.001 and Plaque Index? < 0.001, than that of mechanical debridement alone in diabetics. Histological results showed a picture of almost healthy gingiva after adjunctive administration of doxycycline.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : Medical Journal, Cairo University  Volume : 65  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1997 AH 1997 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, December 10, 2007  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email جملات حسان hassan, GAMALAT Investigator Doctorate   راتبة عبدالكريم ABDEL-MALAK, RATIBA Researcher Doctorate   منى درويش DARHOUS, MONA Researcher Doctorate   حكيم السيد Al-Sayed, Hakem Researcher Doctorate   غادة نورالدين NOUR EL-DIN, GHADA Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  Evaluation of Systemic Administration of.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
