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


Abstract in English

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.
