As a dentist you can only do so much to keep your patients’ teeth and gums healthy. When a patient comes in, traditional scaling and root planing is S.O.P. to remove plaque and tarter and reduce bacteria buildup.

But what happens when your patient goes home? A majority of your patients won’t see you for at least another six months. Bacteria and biofilms can regenerate at a breakneck pace, hiding out in periodontal pockets and doing plenty of damage.

At SML Global, we offer the Perio Protect system -- designed to help fight biofilm growth between appointments. With Perio Protect you can create a customized dental tray for patient wear between visits. The custom tray directs antimicrobial agents into the gingival sulcus to overcome crevicular flow and deliver proven medication to the source of the infection—and keeps it there long enough to kill the bacteria.

Microbiologist-conducted electron microscope scans show that after 17 days of Perio Protect® treatment, 99.98% of the disease-causing bacteria were killed. The medication modifies the biofilm so the patient continues to use the method daily as part of a new home care system and the disease does not return.

The results of Perio Protect treatment are immediate and long lasting, the practice-growing benefits profound -- and it‘s easily managed through your own hygiene department.
