Clinician Benefits
- Biofilm may be more easily removed and provide more efficient instrumentation to support lower physical strain and fatigue associated with Scaling and Root Planing procedures.
- Works quickly when applied per quadrant – no additional chair time necessary.
- Choice of viscosity: liquid or gel.
- May help control bleeding with hemostatic effect.
- Can provide greater confidence in debridement and therapeutic efforts through removal of post-instrumentation smear layer.
Patient Benefits
-
May help reduce discomfort associated with Scaling and Root Planing procedures through desiccation effect of attached plaque and biofilm.
-
Can be applied at maintenance appointments with the use of local anesthetics.
-
Shown to improve pocket depths, clinical attachment levels and reduced bleeding on probing even in advanced cases.1
-
No special post-application home care instructions, patient may resume normal home care routine. Not an antibiotic.
Improved clinical experience
A unique, minimally invasive solution
Better post-procedure results over instrumentation alone1
“It is hard to imagine my ability to effectively practice dentistry without PerioDT. This is such a go-to tool whenever I am faced with any periodontal pocket around a tooth or implant that is just impossible to keep clean with home care and maintenance. The results have been incredible! I have seen gum tissue that has been problematic and bloody at every visit for years, all of a sudden become pink and healthy once I've added PerioDT to the treatment regimen.”
