THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE CLINICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL FEATURES Of 30 refractory patients and their response to a combined local and systemic therapy at 6 weeks and 3 years following treatment. The refractory treatment protocol (RefTx) consisted of a 2-week regimen of amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium in conjunction with professional, intrasulcular delivery of povidone iodine, and chlorhexide mouthwash rinses b.i.d. Eightyseven percent of the patients had favorable clinical responses to the RefTx and could be divided into 3 groups (A, B, C) based upon initial flora patterns and the shifts that occurred following treatment. Pretreatment prevalence of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.) was 36.7%. The RefTx was effective in reducing P.g. below detection levels in 10 of the 11 positive patients at P
