Tetracyclines in teeth.

Discoloration of teeth from tetracyclines--even today?

The aim of this study was to examine whether brownish crown and root discoloration of wisdom teeth was related to treatment of acne with tetracyclines. For this purpose, 17 discolored third molars from nine patients were embedded without being decalcified, ground along the tooth axis, and examined using fluorescence microscopy. A thorough medical history served to determine the start and durati...

Reduction in evidence in children's teeth of use of tetracyclines.

The tetracyclines.

The tetracyclines are inexpensive drugs that are of primary value in treating nonpregnant women who have acute urethral syndrome or endocervicitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis. They are contraindicated in pregnancy because they are injurious to fetal teeth and bone.

Neuroprotection by tetracyclines.

The neuroprotective properties of tetracyclines have been clearly established in rodent models of acute and chronic neurodegeneration during the past few years. Recent findings have provided novel insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of protection of neurons and oligodendrocytes by tetracyclines. These advances have prompted several clinical trials with minocycline, the most effe...
