The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, the substantivity, and surface effects of the inclusion compound tetracycline: beta-cyclodextrin on bovine roots. The antimicrobial activity was assessed by dentine slabs which had been immersed in the inclusion complex in concentrations 8.0%, 4.0%, 2.0%, 1.0%, 0.5% and 0.25% for 5 min compared to a control of tetracycline hydrochloride. Each slab was tested in a broth of overnight culture of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Y4-FDC). The inclusion complex significantly inhibited the A. actinomycetemcomitans (p < 0.01) verified at concentrations from 1.0% to 8.0%. The substantivity of tetracycline was evaluated by the measure of desorption from the slabs previously immersed in solution samples and removed at 24 h intervals. The tetracycline encapsulated in beta-cyclodextrin showed a flow rate near to zero order in comparison to free tetracycline. The surface morphology determined by SEM showed a more homogeneous and integrated layer with the complex compared to the effect of free tetracycline. We concluded that the root surfaces treated with tetracycline: beta-cyclodextrin release lower concentrations of active drug over 5 days at inhibitory concentrations against A. actinomycetemcomitans with enhanced disponibility in comparison to tetracycline.
