Emdogain - EmdogainGel is a resorbable, implantable material intended as an adjunct to periodontal surgery for topical application onto exposed root surfaces to treat intrabony, furcations and recession type defects due to moderate or severe periodontitis. After a single gel application, EmdogainGel leaves only a resorbable protein matrix on the root surface that has been proven to regain attachment on the root surface.

EmdogainGel has been carefully designed to fit easily into established treatment regimens. As an adjunct to periodontal surgery, EmdogainGel requires no additional site preparation and adds little time to the procedure.

Arestin - (Minocycline Powder) is a means by which a high concentration of antibiotic is delivered directly to the periodontal pocket non-surgically. Fiber or gel insertion can typically be performed without a local anesthetic. The antibiotic level in the pocket reaches a substantially higher level around the tooth than can be attained from oral medication, however the antibiotic does not enter the bloodstream. As a result, there are no common antibiotic side effects or interactions with other medications you may be taking. THis is a good option for early periodontal disease or in an area which has had previous surgery and has recurrent infection. People who suffer from significant medical problems and cannot tolerate surgical procedures may also benefit from this.
