One of them is a triple antibiotic paste which is a combination of three different antibiotics namely metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and minocycline. TAP is used in many clinical situations in dentistry such as vital pulpotomy, regenerative endodontics etc. But there are some drawbacks associated with TAP. To overcome these drawbacks, modified triple antibiotic paste (MTAP) was introduced in the dentistry. This article reviews about the clinical application of TAP along with its composition and drawbacks.
