This is an AVP presentation on the role of irrigation and mouth rinses in reducing gingivitis, sustained-release, anti-microbials as an additional benefit to scaling and root planning, the use of systemic antibiotics in the treatment of some form of periodontitis and the role of host modulating agents in limiting periodontitis. The goal of the presentation is directed to clinicians thinking along lines consistent with evidence-based methodology, to provide the clinicians with information relevant to the clinical area of focus, and to encourage clinicians to more effectively critique current literatures.
