Abstract
A system and method of initiating alveolar bone regrowth about a tooth of a patient suffering from bone loss due to periodontal disease that includes topically administering to a periodontal pocket about the tooth of the patient a hydrogen peroxide solution and topically administering to the periodontal pocket about the tooth a medicament that can help manage/control osteogenic activity.
Claims31
A method of initiating alveolar bone regrowth about a tooth of a patient suffering from bone loss due to periodontal disease, the method comprising:
- topically administering to a periodontal pocket about the tooth of the patient a hydrogen peroxide solution;
- and
- topically administering to the periodontal pocket about the tooth a medicament that is capable of managing or altering the osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities.
A method of initiating bone regrowth in a patient suffering from alveolar bone loss and recessed gums about one or more teeth, comprising:
- identifying a treatment region for regrowth of the alveolar bone associated the one or more teeth that includes a periodontal pocket therein;
- preparing a periodontal medicament delivery tray for the patient, the delivery tray having a cavity defining one or more application regions with each application region about the one or more of the teeth in the identified treatment region;
- placing a hydrogen peroxide solution in the application region of the tray cavity;
- applying the hydrogen peroxide solution placed in the tray cavity to the periodontal pocket in the treatment region;
- placing a medicament in the application region of the tray cavity;
- and
- applying the medicament placed in the tray cavity to the periodontal pocket in the treatment region.
