Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate the respective or combinatory efficacy of locally delivered 2% Minocycline (MO) and surface and root planning (SRP) by assessing both clinical parameters and the loads of four main periodontal pathogens in treating chronic periodontitis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this randomized clinical trial, the investigators will evaluate the respective or combinatory efficacy of minocycline and scaling and root planning in the aspects of both clinical parameters \[Pocket depth (PD) and sulcus bleeding index (SBI)\] and the loads of four main periodontal pathogens \[Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Prevotella intermedia (Pi)\]. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) will be used as a powerful tool with high sensitivity and specificity to quantitatively assess target periodontal bacteria in a period of 7 days. The investigators will also try to correlate the reduction of either total or respective bacteria with the improvements of clinical parameters, with an aim to uncovering the potential microbiological mechanism accounting for the efficacy of a therapy.
