| LOCAL DELIVERY OF ANTIBIOTICS | ||
| Periodontal disease is a chronic (long-lasting) problem and can return without regular dental care and careful attention to oral hygiene at home. Therefore, one of the keys to successful nonsurgical or surgical treatment for periodontal disease is regular follow-up care. | ||
| The following are two modes action: |
| Arestin | ||
| ARESTIN® is an effective antibiotic treatment that comes in powder form. This powder is easily placed inside infected periodontal pockets just after the dental professional finishes the scaling and root planing (SRP) procedure. ARESTIN® contains "Microspheres"-tiny, bead-like particles that are smaller than grains of sand and are not visible to the eye. The Microspheres are filled with the antibiotic minocycline, and they release the drug over time into the infected periodontal pocket, killing bacteria that live there for up to 21 days. |
||
 |
||
| PerioChip | ||
| PerioChip is a small, orange brown, rectangular chip (rounded at one end) for insertion into periodontal pocket. It contains a substance, which is effective in killing bacteria in the gum (2.5 mg Chlorhexidine gluconate). After scaling, PerioChip is inserted into the pocket and the active ingredient takes effect in killing the bacteria. The chip itself dissolves naturally; hence there is no need for an additional visit to the dentistry to remove it. t is recommended to attend a follow-up visit after three months to check whether any further treatment is required. | ||
