  Background: Periodontal disease affects 50% to 80% of the world population and is a host immune system inflammatory response associated with a change within the gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket. Conventional treatment and homecare programs are inadequate in controlling the biofilm that causes this disease. Direct medication delivery has been shown to modify the periodontal biofilm, decrease the microbial virulence, which should prove beneficial for the patient. Method: In this case study the nature of the biofilm microenvironment was modified by delivering a 1.7% hydrogen peroxide gel, oxygen and Vibramycin into the patient’s periodontal pockets using a direct medication delivery method (Perio Tray, Perio Protect LLC St. Louis, MO.). The hydrogen peroxide (Perio Gel, Perio Protect St. Louis, MO) has specific poloxamer and antimicr.. Read More»
