  • free from any significant oral soft tissue pathology

Exclusion Criteria:

  • willing to adhere to prohibitions and restrictions of the study
  • oral health inappropriate for study inclusion
  • females self-reporting pregnancy or lactation, or having a positive urine pregnancy result
  • reporting any of the following conditions:

    • allergy to a tetracycline-class drug
    • systemic medical conditions requiring antibiotic prophylaxis prior to invasive dental procedures
    • active systemic infectious disease such as hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or tuberculosis
    • diagnosed with clinically significant or unstable organic disease, or compromised healing potential, heart murmurs, histories of rheumatic fever, valvular disease or prosthetic joint replacement
  • participation in a dental clinical trial or use of an investigational drug within 30 days of enrollment
  • employees of the Investigator or study center, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies, as well as family members of the employees or the Investigator
  • anyone who the investigator determines should not be included in the study for any reason that could compromise safety or the analysis of study results

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will look at the safety of using the study medicine for a long time. It will see if the germs get used to the medicine, making it not work as well, if it's used by people with gum disease for a long time.
Detailed Description
The objective of this study is to evaluate the changes in populations of minocycline-resistant bacteria after long-term use of minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg in subjects with moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis. This will be assessed through monitoring the total number and proportion of minocycline-resistant bacteria and the identity of minocycline-resistant species within a panel of 40 representative periodontal species in saliva and subgingival plaque.
