Periodontal Disease Boca RatonNon Surgical - Non-invasive Gum Disease Control Perio Protect SystemA ground-breaking NON-SURGICAL medical device for treating gum disease has been cleared for general use by the FDAClick Here to watch a video demonstration. 
ABC TV Prime Time News EventDr. Pohl and one of his patients were recently interviewed by news staff at Miami based ABC TV affiliate Channel 10, regarding the new Perio Protect product, it's applications and benefits for patients with periodontal disease.Click here to watch this interesting video. Individuals suffering from the debilitating effects of periodontal disease now may have an alternative choice with Perio Protect, an FDA approved periodontal treatment program. The fear and pain of gum surgery no longer has to prevent them from seeking treatment. 
The elderly who tend to lose teeth because failing restorations as a result of decay and gum disease now have a simple 5 minutes per day home care solution that can prevent recurrent decay and curb the effects of gum disease.Individuals who physically challenged because of Parkinsons, Dementia or other debilitating conditions can easily be treated by an nurses aide. The "Perio Protect Method" utilizes an FDA approved medical device that comfortably fits in the patient's mouth and delivers antimicrobial agents of the dentist's choosing. The top right photo reflects how the tray-like device fits directly on the teeth and arch. 
These patented trays direct the antimicrobial agents under the gums. The adajacent photo indicates how the tight fit of the tray keeps the diseased areas in direct contact with the medication agentsClinical observation has shown evidence of bone regeneration. When a subclinical dose of tetracycline is added to the tray, the tetracycline is directed under the gum tissue. The tetracycline inhibits not only the enzymes that break down collagen in the gums but also inhibits osteclastic activity. Osteoclats are the cells that break down bone. By inhibiting osteoclasts, osteoblasts are able to populate the area and generate new bone. In fact the bone becomes more dense than before. 
Normally for tetracycline to administered, the patient would have to visit the dentist every 1-2 months. Applications of tetracycline delivered to multiple sites can add up and become expensive.Using the Perio Protect Method the patient now has control over treatment and can self administer the antibiotics at a much lower cost. Also noteworthy is the scientific fact the the same microbes that cause gum disease also can affect other organ systems. The same bacteria have been found in arterial plaque. The adjacent xray photos clearly reflect the healthy regeneration of bone material in a previously diseased area involving a lower incisor. See color photos at the bottom that demonstrate the effectiveness Perio Protect for arresting and reversing severe gum disease. 
Summary: How it WorksCustom Perio Protect Trays that are worn (similar in concept to bleaching trays) create a special seal that gently guides antimicrobial agents into the infected area (gingival sulcus).This process maintains the medications for a sufficient time to control the bacteria causing the infection. As healing occurs, patients alter the frequency and duration that they wear their trays. Patients are instructed on the frequency of wear, based on individual diagnosis. The entire treatment is done in the comfort of your own home. Furthermore, the treatment provides additional benefit of whitening teeth and overcoming, for many patients, foul breath odor. Imagine ...a new way of eliminating serious periodontal disease problems without going to the specialist. The pictures below show the effectiveness of Perio Protect treatment trays without any in-office hygiene treatment. The medications break down the protein matrix that forms the plaque and tartar on the teeth to the point that it flakes away.
