Advanced Biotech Periodontal Plus Ab

Answer: Periodontal Plus AB is a local drug delivery system that utilizes tetracycline impregnated collagen fibers to treat periodontal pockets. The fibers are brownish in color and resorbable, and they are soaked in saline and packed into the periodontal pockets with a cotton forcep or curette until the pocket is filled up to or slightly below the gingival margin. To avoid dislodging of the fiber, patients are instructed not to brush or floss the treated areas and are placed on twice a day 0.2% chlorhexidine rinses. The effectiveness of the treatment may vary depending on the individual patient’s oral hygiene habits and the severity of the periodontal disease. The results of the treatment can be evaluated by monitoring the reduction in pocket depth and bleeding on probing, as well as improvements in clinical attachment level and radiographic bone density.
