Background: The objective of this randomized clinical study was to evaluate the effect of systemic administration
of moxifloxacin compared to amoxicillin and metronidazole, combined with non-surgical treatment in patients
with generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) in a 6-month follow-up.
Material and Methods: A total of 39 systemically healthy patients with GAgP were evaluated in this randomized
clinical trial. Periodontal parameters were recorded at the baseline during the 1
st
, 3
rd
and 6
th
month. Patients received either 400 mg of moxifloxacin per os once daily or 500 mg of metronidazole and 500 mg amoxicillin per
os three times daily for 7 days consecutively.
Results: No significant differences between groups were found in any parameters at the baseline. Both groups led
to a statistically significant decrease in all clinical periodontal parameters compared to the baseline (PI,
p
<0.001
and GI, PD, BOP, CAL,
p<0.01).
There were no differences between the 1
st
and 3
rd
months or the 3
rd
and 6
th
months
for clinical parameters in the groups. Also, no intergroup difference was observed in any parameters at any time,
except the gingival index at 6
th
months.
Conclusions: Systemic administration of moxifloxacin as an adjunct to non-surgical treatment significantly improves clinical outcomes and provides comparable clinical improvement with less adverse events to that of combination of amoxicillin and metronidazole in the treatment of GAgP.
