What drug is often used for the treatment of periodontitis, juvenile periodontitis, and rapidly destructive periodontitis?

  1. Ibuprofen

  2. Acetaminophen

  3. Amoxicillin

  4. Tetracycline

The correct answer is: Tetracycline

Tetracycline is the most commonly used drug for the treatment of periodontitis, juvenile periodontitis, and rapidly destructive periodontitis due to its ability to effectively combat the bacterial infections that cause these diseases. Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen may provide temporary relief of symptoms, but they are not effective treatments for periodontitis. Amoxicillin is sometimes used as an alternative to Tetracycline, but it has a narrower spectrum of activity and is not as effective against the bacteria commonly associated with periodontitis. Therefore, Tetracycline is the best choice for treating these specific types of periodontal diseases.
