Direct medication delivery modifies the periodontal biofilm

Abstract: Background: Conventional periodontal treatment is inadequate in controlling the periodontal biofilm. This is due to the nature and size of the bacteria, biofilm adaptive and reproductive capacity and an inability to mechanically remove the bacteria. The composition at the beginning of conventional treatment is the same as at the end. Method: Management involving a direct medication delivery of hydrogen peroxide, oxygen and an antioxidant (Perio Tray, Perio Protect LLC St. Louis, MO) was evaluated by scanning e… Show more

“…The biofilm composition shifted from predominantly gram negative obligate anaerobes before to gram positive anaerobes, gram positive and negative facultative anaerobes and aerobic bacteria during treatment. There was a -log [2][3][4] reduction in the number of bacteria during treatment [28]. Fewer less virulent bacteria provided better treatment results through host responses to the improved subgingival conditions.…”
