Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA As special microbial species are identified as etiologic factors for periodontal diseases and since conventional periodontal treatments could not eliminate these factors, Using Antimicrobial agents as alternatives to prevent post operation infections seems essential. In This study Phenytoin (Gel 10%) was used as an topical antimicrobial agent in periodontal surgeries. 21 patients with advanced periodontal disease were selected. Sampling was carried out before and after the surgery. The results showed that phenytoin can act effectively on gram positive and negative cocci while this concentration was not effective to eliminate opportunistic gram negative bacilli.
