Blocking Periodontal Disease Progression by Inhibiting Tissue‐Destructive Enzymes: A Potential Therapeutic Role for Tetracyclines and Their Chemically‐Modified Analogs

Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs) have wide therapeutic usage as antimicrobial agents; these drugs (e.g., minocycline, doxycycline) remain useful as adjuncts in periodontal therapy. However, TCs also have non-anti...
