%X The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to provide evidence supporting the adjunctive local application of doxycycline solution or minocycline ointment, in conjunction with drainage, for the treatment of acute periodontal abscesses. The study included 63 patients who had received treatment for acute periodontal abscesses through drainage supplemented with 1 of 3 types of adjunctive medications during their initial visit (visit 1; baseline): 1) saline irrigation (the control group), 2) 2% minocycline ointment (the TM group), or 3) 300 mg/mL doxycycline irrigation (the TD group). The same adjunctive medication was administered at visit 2, which took place 1 week after visit 1. Probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index, gingival recession, clinical attachment level, and tooth mobility were clinically evaluated at visits 1, 2, and a third visit (visit 3; 4 weeks after visit 1). Statistical significance was considered to be indicated by P values
