With the introduction of Actisite (tetracycline hydrochloride) periodontal fiber therapy, controlled drug delivery of tetracycline into the periodontal pocket has become a clinical reality. An important factor in the success of this treatment option is the selection of suitable candidates according to specific patient selection criteria proposed by the author in this article. Case reports describing periodontal tetracycline fiber therapy, used adjunctively with conventional mechanical therapy and oral hygiene, document the reductions in pocket depth and bleeding upon probing over a six-month follow-up period, suggesting the value of this therapy in maintaining the periodontal health of patients who meet the selection criteria.
随着Actisite（盐酸四环素）牙周纤维治疗法的引入，将四环素可控地递送至牙周袋已成为临床现实。该治疗方案成功的一个重要因素是根据本文作者提出的特定患者选择标准来挑选合适的患者。描述牙周四环素纤维治疗法与传统机械治疗及口腔卫生措施联合使用的病例报告表明，在六个月的随访期内，牙周袋深度和探诊出血情况有所改善，这提示了该治疗法对于符合选择标准的患者维持牙周健康的价值。
