Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that causes destruction of tooth supporting tissues like periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. It is characterized by multifactorial etiology with specific bacteria. Local drug delivery system includes antimicrobial dosages that produce more constant and prolonged concentration profiles within the subgingival tissue. It provides better access into the periodontal pockets. It gives the critical distress of exposing the patient to adverse effects of systemic administration. This article reviews the literature and presents novel trends in the local drug delivery system.
