19
Q

2 issues with Penicillin

A

15% hypersensitivity reactions

Bacterial resistance due to beta-lactamases destroying ABC beta-lactam ring

20
Q

What is Augmentin

A

Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid

21
Q

What does clavulanic acid do

A

Inhibitor of beta-lactamase

22
Q

Tetracycline static/cidal?

MOA

A

Bacteriostatic

Inhibit protein synthesis by blocking 30s subunit

23
Q

Most used tetracyclines in perio?

Why? 3 reasons

A

Minocycline + Doxycycline

1) Completely absorbed through intestine, less effect on gut flora
2) Inhibit tissue collagenase and other MMPs to aid in healing after periodontal therapy
3) More concentrated in GCF

24
Q

Clindamycin drug class

Static/cidal?

MOA?

Problem as Penicillin alternative?

A

Lincosamide

Cidal

Bind 50s ribosome to block protein production

May have sensitivity reaction

25
Q

Erythromycin drug class

Static/cidal?

MOA?

A

Macrolide

Cidal

Bind 50s ribosome to block protein production

26
Q

Shortcomings of Erythromycin

A

AA, E. corrodens, Bacteroides, and Fusobacterium are HIGHLY resistance

27
Q

Metronidazole drug class

Static/cidal?

MOA?

A

Nitroimidazole

Cidal

Inhibit nucleic acid synthesis

28
Q

Metronidazole is useful against

A

Anaerobes

Spirochetes

29
Q

What is Periostat

A

Subantimicrobial dose doxycycline (SDD)

20mg BID 6-9 months

30
Q

Periostat MOA

A

Down-regulate MMP that are active during ChP

31
Q

Is Periostat useful with SRP?

A

As an adjunct to SRP, SS gains in attachment levels and probe depth reduction compared to SRP alone

32
Q

What does Ibuprofen do in the tissue during healing

A

Inhibit PGE2

33
Q

Is Ibuprofen useful with SRP?

A

No

34
Q

What NSAID was useful for AgP

A

Meclomen

35
Q

What is also a useful adjunct in periodontal therapy

A

Aspirin

36
Q

What ABC can discolor bone?

A

Minocycline

100mg 1x/day

39
Q

A

250mg tid

OR

500mg bid

40
Q

Erythromycin dosing

A

250mg bid

OR

300mg tid

41
Q

Clindamycin dosing

A

300mg tid

42
Q
Rank in order of best to worst GI absorption:
