a. Systemic antibiotics are used for patients with aggressive periodontitis because the bacteria associated with this form of periodontal disease invade the soft tissue and elude mechanical debridement. Systemic antibiotics are contraindicated in patients with chronic periodontitis and gingivitis. Topical antimicrobial agents (e.g., Atridox, Arestin) are used in patients with localized chronic periodontitis.
