Laboratory Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Root Conditioning Surface by Using MTAD Comparing with Tetracycline HCl

This study was carried out to evaluate the influence of a mixture of doxycycline HCl, citric acid, and polysorbate 80 (MTAD) on the smear layer formed on root surface after hand-instrumented periodontal treatment. MTAD was compared with the influence of tetracycline HCl.

The effect of tetracycline on chickens embryos development

Experiment was conducted on 160 fertilized egg sterile, distributed in four groups of 40 eggs in each of them, eggs incubation in the hatchery for 12 h, and then go out and inject eggs experimental Groups (1-2-3) with a solution of tetracycline under the embryo disk.

The Effect of Alveolar Rinse with Tetracycline and Articaine on Sequelae Control Following Lower Third Molar Extraction

This clinical study included 30 cases of impacted lower third molars, which were surgically extracted at the oral surgery department at Tishreen University in Lattakia. The ages of patients were between 20 - 30 years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of alveolar rinse with Tetracycline and Articaine mixture on pain, edema, and trismus after surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars. The sample was divided into two groups: - First Group (Study Group): /16/ impacted lower third molars were surgically extracted. The alveolar socket was rinsed with Tetracycline and Articaine mixture immediately after removal of the impacted molar. - Second Group (Control Group): /14/ impacted lower third molars were surgically extracted. The alveolar socket was rinsed with Saline immediately after removal of the impacted molar. The study showed that alveolar rinse with Tetracycline and Articaine mixture had a significant effect on pain, edema, and trismus after surgical extraction of lower third molars in comparison with Saline alveolar rinse (P<0.05).

The efficacy of tetracycline in the treatment of the recurrency of pemphigus vulgaris occurring during the period of steroid reduction

Pephigus vulgaris is a recurrent life threatening disease. Its basic treatment is systemic steroids, after treating the first attack of the disease by systemic steroids we start to reduce the dose of the steroids gradually. During this reduction the desease may flare up, this recurrence is routinely treated by increasing the dose of the steroids again to control the disease, this study was made to compare the benefits of tetracycline in controlling the recurrence of pemphigus vulgaris with the routinely used way which is elevating the dose of prednisolone.
