Periodontitis is treated by sub antimicrobial drugs like Chlorhexidine, Tetracycline and doxycycline. Patients suffer in taking drugs. Periodontitis is the bone destruction in the periodontal cavity along with gingivitis. There is also the presence of matrix metalloproteinases especially salivary collagenases and gelatinases in periodontal disease.
