WHEN TREATING PERIODONTAL DISEASE, BOTH PIECES ARE ESSENTIAL
Add ARESTIN® to scaling and root planing (SRP) at the first sign of periodontal disease to improve pocket depth reduction.
Periodontal disease affects millions and can have costly consequences
About 64.7 million Americans have periodontal disease
Among adults, it's the #1 cause of tooth loss
Periodontal disease is also associated with multiple systemic conditions and can affect overall health
SRP alone may not be enough
Bacteria that cause periodontal disease may return within days or months after scaling and root planning (SRP).
To help infection progression, treat early and comprehensively. With delayed or imcomplete treatment, the greater the chance that patients may need:
PAINFUL ORAL SURGERY
TO HAVE TEETH REMOVED
TO PAY EXPENSIVE DENTAL BILLS
How ARESTIN + SRP can help...
Bacteria Can Hide Out Of Reach
Without an antibiotic, baseline levels of bacteria may return in just a few days after SRP.

CEMENTO-ENAMEL JUNCTION
DENTINAL TUBULES
GINGIVAL EPITHELIUM
The results speak for themselves
Adding ARESTIN® (minocycline HCl) Microspheres, 1 mg to SRP targets the active
infection at the base of the pocket, helping disrupt the progression of periodontitis.
In a clinical trial, ARESTIN added to SRP provided better results than SRP alone after 30 days:

Painful oral surgery
Expensive oral surgery
To have teeth removed
