Background: It is a well-established fact that various periodontal diseases are caused by bacteria, some of which are tissue invasive. It has been suggested that an antibiotic strength 500 times greater than the usual therapeutic dose may be needed to be effective against bacteria arranged in biofilm. However, so far, the literature shows that the ideal treatment is mechanical removal of local factors followed by systemic anti-infective therapy.
