WHEN TREATING PERIODONTAL DISEASE, BOTH PIECES ARE ESSENTIAL

Enhance pocket depth reduction by incorporating ARESTINĀ® alongside scaling and root planing (SRP) as soon as signs of periodontal disease emerge.

Periodontal disease affects millions and can have costly consequences

Image
About 64.7 million Americans have periodontal disease
Image
Among adults, it's the #1 cause of tooth loss
Image
Periodontal disease is also associated with multiple systemic conditions and can affect overall health

SRP alone may not be enough

Bacteria responsible for periodontal disease can reappear shortly after scaling and root planing (SRP), sometimes within days or months.

To prevent the progression of infection, it's crucial to treat it early and thoroughly. Delayed or incomplete treatment increases the likelihood that patients may require:

PAINFUL ORAL SURGERY

TO HAVE TEETH REMOVED

TO PAY EXPENSIVE DENTAL BILLS

How ARESTIN + SRP can help...

Bacteria Can Hide Out Of Reach

In the absence of an antibiotic, the initial levels of bacteria may reappear within a few days following SRP.

The results speak for themselves

Incorporating ARESTINĀ® (minocycline HCl) Microspheres, 1 mg into SRP focuses on the active infection located at the pocket's base, aiding in disrupting the advancement of periodontitis.

In a clinical trial, ARESTIN added to SRP provided better results than SRP alone after 30 days:

Patients may not experience any discomfort or detect symptoms initially. Nevertheless, postponing treatment increases the likelihood of potentially requiring:

Painful oral surgery

Expensive oral surgery

To have teeth removed
