                                        Comment: Oxantel is an anthelmintic agent. In addition, it inhibits fumarate reductase, an enzyme that is crucial for the survival of pathogenic bacteria in the biofilm in periodontal pockets. It has been suggested that oxantel might guard against chronic periodontitis, but efficacy of this potential antibacterial function is yet to be confirmed [1-2].
