description Periodontitis is a highly prevalent major dental disease that affects millions of people around the globe. Anaerobic gram-negative bacteria and its toxins have been strongly implicated as a prime cause of the disease. A great number of local drug delivery systems have been proposed, but they were mainly made to focus on killing the causative microbes rather than also targeting the inflammation which also plays a significant role in the aetiology of the disease.
