| What is Arestin?

|
Arestin microspheres are implemented
as an accompanying therapy to root planing and scaling procedures
to curtail pocket depth in patients with adult periodontitis.
Periodontal disease occurs when bacteria collects on under the
gums, causing them to become red and swollen. This inflammation,
if left untreated, eventually results in damage to ligaments
and bone, forming pockets around your teeth. As the disease
advances and these pockets become deeper, your teeth can become
loose and fall out. Chronic periodontitis is also associated
with other serious diseases such as osteoporosis, diabetes,
and cardiovascular disease. Dentists and registered dental hygienists
can tell how severe a patient's periodontitis is by measuring
pocket depth and reviewing patient x-rays. |
|
| |
| Delivered through a unique powder, and using new microsphere
technology, Arestin delivers minocycline to easily and effectively
kill the bacteria that causes periodontal disease. |
| |
| When used together with scaling and root planing, this
treatment significantly reduces the depth of infected pockets and
helps prevent disease progression. Arestin was shown to be particularly
even effective in the more difficult to treat patients such as smokers
or people who have cardiovascular disease. |
