Summary

This trial tests if adding tiny antibiotic particles to a deep cleaning procedure helps patients with severe gum disease by reducing harmful bacteria in their gums.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with at least 20 natural teeth who have been diagnosed with Periodontitis (stage II, III, or IV). It's also open to those with healthy gums. People can't join if they don't meet the specific dental health criteria set by the researchers.
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether adding minocycline microspheres (MM) to standard gum disease treatment (scaling and root planing - SRP) changes the makeup and activity of bacteria under the gums compared to just SRP alone.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from treatment may include discomfort during dental procedures, sensitivity in treated areas, and potential allergic reactions to minocycline for those sensitive to this medication.
