metronidazole and Root Resorption

metronidazole has been researched along with Root Resorption in 7 studies

Metronidazole: A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS.
metronidazole : A member of the class of imidazoles substituted at C-1, -2 and -5 with 2-hydroxyethyl, nitro and methyl groups respectively. It has activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, and has a radiosensitising effect on hypoxic tumour cells. It may be given by mouth in tablets, or as the benzoate in an oral suspension. The hydrochloride salt can be used in intravenous infusions. Metronidazole is a prodrug and is selective for anaerobic bacteria due to their ability to intracellularly reduce the nitro group of metronidazole to give nitroso-containing intermediates. These can covalently bind to DNA, disrupting its helical structure, inducing DNA strand breaks and inhibiting bacterial nucleic acid synthesis, ultimately resulting in bacterial cell death.

Root Resorption: Resorption in which cementum or dentin is lost from the root of a tooth owing to cementoclastic or osteoclastic activity in conditions such as trauma of occlusion or neoplasms. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of an antibiotic mix consisting of metronidazole, minocycline and ciprofloxacin (3Mix-MP) and another mix where minocycline was replaced with clindamycin (3Mix-MP-R) in non-instrumentation endodontic treatment (NIET) of necrotic primary molars and to determine the effect of root resorption on the success of the treatment."5.24Evaluation of antibiotic mix in Non-instrumentation Endodontic Treatment of necrotic primary molars. ( Assfoura, L; Mansour, O; Raslan, N, 2017)
"No statistically significant difference is observed between both the groups and a combination of Ciprofloxacin, Minocycline and Tinidazole antibacterial drugs can be used on teeth pulpally involved with physiologic root resorption."5.16In vivo evaluation of lesion sterilization and tissue repair in primary teeth pulp therapy using two antibiotic drug combinations. ( Anantharaj, A; Jaya, AR; Praveen, P; Rani, PS; Venkataraghavan, K, 2012)
