Comparing the clinical effects of local administration of minocycline ointment and doxycycline solution in the treatment of acute periodontal abscesses: a retrospective clinical study.

Local and adjunctive administration of doxycycline and minocycline in combination with drainage exhibited clinical advantages over drainage alone in improving PD and BOP. Notably, a doxycycline solution of 300 mg/mL was more effective than a 2% minocycline ointment.
