Description
The most common periodontal treatment for gum disease performed at our Philadelphia practice is a dental procedure known as scaling and root planing, combined with the administration of a local antibiotic directly into the diseased pockets. This procedure involves the removal of all plaque and tartar below the gum line, deep into the periodontal pocket. Then, the surfaces of the tooth roots are planed, or smoothed, so that bacteria are less able to adhere and the gum tissue can heal. The antibiotic called Arestin® is a timed-release, locally applied medicine which controls the bacteria in the pocket long enough for the tissue to heal. Deep pockets may require more than one treatment and timing is critical. If bacteria are allowed to re-invade the pockets between teeth and gums, the gum disease will return. The success of this procedure is entirely dependant on subsequent gum care and ongoing maintenance.
