Abstract

Periodontal pockets provide an ideal environment for the application of local drug delivery for the management of periodontitis. In this first article, consideration is given to the principles that underlie local drug delivery and the pharmacological challenges. It is essential that such systems are compatible with the periodontal tissues. Potential unwanted effects that can arise from both drug and delivery vehicle are also appraised.
