Localized Anibiotic Therapy

There are new medications that can be delivered directly to the site of the diseased periodontal pocket. These medications are best used as adjunctive therapy, rather than an alternative to traditional non surgical scaling or surgical treatment. Two common types of medications used are Atridox and Arrestin. Atridox is a 10 % doxycycline gel and Arrestin is 10 % Minocycline microspheres.
