Topical metronidazole benzoate preparations, applied directly into the space between the teeth and, periodontal tissue, are the treatment of choice for periodontal pockets. Oleogels and hydrogels, as the biomucoadhesive bases for the manufacturing of these preparations, were developed in our previous trials. The aim of our latest research was to develop a preparation that would solve the problem of inhibiting the metronidazole-resistant anaerobic strains, isolated from the periodontal pockets.
