en پریودنتولوژی Periodontology پژوهشي Research <p> Systemic antibiotics in conjunction with scaling and root planing (SRP), can offer an additional benefi t over SRP alone in the treatment of periodontitis, in terms of clinical attachment loss (CAL) and pocket depth change, and reduced risk of additional CAL loss. However, antibiotics are not innocuous drugs. Their use should be justifi ed on the basis of a clearly established need and should not be substituted for adequate local treatment.
