Perio Protect is a new, home care treatment program for periodontal disease using a dentist-created and FDA-cleared medical device that can deliver doctor-prescribed medications to the source of periodontal infections. These medications address the pathogens that cause gum disease.
The medical device is a set of custom fabricated Perio Protect Trays™ that are easy to use and comfortable to wear. The Perio Protect Trays offer varying thickness and differing extensions to support a special seal that gently guides antimicrobial agents of the dentist's choosing into the infected area (gingival sulcus) and that maintains the medications for a sufficient time to control the bacteria causing the infection. As healing occurs, patients alter the frequency and duration that they wear their trays. |
|
In order to obtain Perio Protect Trays, a patient must visit a dentist who is a licensed Perio Protect partner. Once the dentist completes precise impressions of a patient's mouth, impressions are sent to a dental lab where customized trays are made to meet an individual patient's needs and conditions.
Patients' response to treatment has proven to be extremely rapid, and patient acceptance has been outstanding. The method is easy to follow and painless, and the medications help to control the bacteria that cause the disease infection.
Breakthrough FDA Approved Treatment For Gum Disease Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure
Laser Periodontal Therapy is a laser-based approach to gum disease using
an Nd:YAG free running pulsed laser requiring specific knowledge and
skills drawn from the whole dentistry. To you the patients, this means: less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, less tissue removed, less down
time, and less recovery time which is decidedly less costly to you and
your employer. The reasons we use Laser Periodontal Therapy are to:
remove only the diseased tissue without removing any of the healthy tissue,
maintain the height of the tissue around the teeth, minimizing pain and
discomfort to the patient, get a closure of the periodontal pocket wound
and allow healing to take place. Controlling periodontal disease makes
it possible to save and restore otherwise hopeless involved teeth.
Treatment Procedure:
- Perio probe indicates excessive pocket depth.
- Laser light removes bacteria and diseased tissue.
- Ultrasonic scaler and special hand instruments are used to remove root surface tarter.
- Laser finishes cleaning pocket and aids in sealing the pocket closed so new germs cannot enter.
- Healing of gums to clean root surfaces occurs.
- Bite trauma is adjusted.
- Healing occurs.
