The Perio Protect Method
The Perio Protect Method is an effective, sensible approach to treat bacteria that cause gum disease. At the heart of the Method is the adjunctive Perio Tray® delivery of medication. The basic idea is to get medication under the gums and into the pockets where bacteria grow and keep it there long enough for the medication to work, all in a comfortable, non-invasive way. Not a simple task. That’s why the Perio Tray is such an important advancement.
The Perio Tray is easy to use. You put the medication into the trays, wear the trays at home as instructed by your dentist and, well, that’s it, until you return to the dentist for a recall visit. It’s comfortable, it works well, and it’s convenient. The Perio Protect Method’s combinationy delivery with thorough cleanings from a dental office is the least invasive approach available, and research shows better results than cleaning alone.
Curodont
Curodont™ is an innovative dental product designed to promote the natural regeneration of enamel, specifically targeting incipient cavities. Utilizing advanced peptide technology, Curodont™ works at the molecular level to encourage the remineralization process, effectively reversing early-stage tooth decay before it progresses into more serious cavities.
​
Key features of Curodont™ include:
Peptide-Based Technology: The product contains bioactive peptides that bind to demineralized enamel, creating a scaffold for the natural rebuilding of the tooth structure.
Targeted Application: Curodont™ is applied directly to areas of demineralization, ensuring that the active ingredients are concentrated where they are needed most, maximizing the potential for enamel regeneration.
Non-Invasive Treatment: Unlike traditional treatments that may require drilling or other invasive procedures, Curodont™ offers a pain-free alternative that supports the body’s own healing processes.
Enhanced Oral Health: By promoting enamel regeneration, Curodont™ not only helps to reverse incipient cavities but also strengthens teeth, making them more resistant to future decay.
Easy Integration into Dental Routine: Curodont™ can be easily incorporated into regular dental check-ups, providing a seamless addition to preventive care regimens.
Using Curodont™ as part of your dental care strategy helps to ensure healthier teeth and a brighter smile, addressing the problem at its source and supporting long-term oral health. Ideal for patients looking to maintain their natural teeth, Curodont™ is the next step in modern dental care, combining cutting-edge science with practical application.
Curodont will only work for cavities within the tooth’s enamel region. If the cavity has crossed into the dentin, Curodont will not work and a filling or indirect restoration is indicated.
