Perio Protect is a new at-home treatment care program for periodontal disease. The program uses a dentist-created
and FDA-cleared medical device where doctor-prescribed
medications are delivered to the source of periodontal infections. These
medications treat the pathogens that cause gum disease.
The program's medical
device is a set of custom fabricated Perio Protect Trays™ that
are comfortable to wear and very easy to use. The Perio Protect
Trays offer varying thickness and an assortment of extensions to
support a special seal that gently guides antimicrobial agents
of the dentist's choosing into the infected area (gingival
sulcus). The trays maintain 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 exact
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 very rapid, and patient acceptance has been outstanding. The program is easy to follow and without pain, and the medications help to control the bacteria that cause the disease infection.
