Antibacterial
Periodontal Therapy (APT) is available at Dental+ Dental Group
Dear Patient,The American Dental Association notes that the majority
of people over age 50 have periodontal problems. Further, one out of
four persons will lose all their teeth to periodontal disease by the
time they reach age 60². Heard enough? There is worse news. Oral bacteria
is an invisible but major risk to the cardiovascular system, which lead
to stroke and heart attack, respiratory illnesses, gastrointestinal
problems, low birth weight of infants and severe systemic infections³.
If you have been diagnosed by your doctor for periodontal disease,
your doctor may have suggested osseous surgery as the solution. For many
years, painful surgery has been the only solution until the alternative
non-surgical periodontal therapy known as APT. Researched and developed
by Dr. Jorgen Slots, Professor and Associate Dean for Research at the
USC School of Dentistry, and Dr. Michael G. Jorgensen, Associate
Professor of Clinical Dentistry Department of Periodontology of USC
School of Dentistry, APT attacks periodontal pathogens from recurring
through the use of daily oral hygiene measures and frequent professional
treatment.
Dennis R. Hunt, D.D.S., Associate for Research and Advancement of
Periodontics UCLA School of Dentistry, heads the Department of
Periodontics for Dental Plus+Dental Group. Dr. Hunt leads the new
preventive and therapeutic strategies. The methods used in this 8-week
program may include systemic antibiotics, deep scaling, antibacterial
irrigation of gum spaces, antibacterial oral rinses and scrubs, dental
polishing, antibiotic gel, monitoring, patient education, and
maintenance.
