Patient 1
The patient presented with bulbous gingiva, moderate subgingival calculus, and spontaneous bleeding with instrumentation. PerioDT helped control the bleeding during hand instrumentation, providing improved visualization and instrument control during subgingival debridement.

Patient 2
The patient presented with tenacious, moderate supra and subgingival calculus. The calculus was challenging to remove because the patient smokes cannabis. A benefit of PerioDT is that it almost instantaneously softens calculus, reducing hand fatigue, increasing patient comfort, and improving efficiency.

“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.”
