Empowering Patients to Treat and Prevent Disease
Perio Tray™ therapy from Perio Protect delivers medication deep below the gums so that the medication can fight infections causing the host inflammatory response. The seal on the tray is the key to deep delivery.
The primary antimicrobial used in Perio Tray™ delivery is Perio Gel™ with 1.7% hydrogen peroxide. This effective, broad-spectrum antimicrobial decreases our reliance on antibiotics and has the added benefits of freshening breath and whitening teeth. Patients love these benefits.
Perio Tray™ therapy is offered most often to patients with gingivitis or periodontitis, but it is also prescribed for patients with infected margins around restorations, with peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis.
Because Perio Tray™ therapy helps improve gingival health and prevent the recurrence of disease, it also extends the life of restorations, giving you optimal restorative results.
Perio Protect has the only tray delivery system with research to support these claims.

Webinar Details
Treating periodontal disease not only improves oral health, it also reduces a chronic infectious burden on patients’ immune system. Unfortunately, it is one of the most under-diagnosed diseases. It is also difficult to treat successfully. Nearly half of adults over 30 have periodontitis. The disease rate climbs to 70% for those 65 years and older.
Antibiotics have been prescribed for decades and still the incidence of disease is high. You can treat active gingival infections with long-term success using adjunctive prescription tray delivery of hydrogen peroxide gel deep into periodontal pockets. Research shows that this delivery combined with SRP leads to more significant pocket depth and bleeding reductions than SRP alone www.perioprotect.com/research. Perio Tray therapy also makes your restorative work better.
Attend this presentation to learn the science behind the delivery, case presentation ideas, and everyday business calculations.
This webinar is suitable for dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and other dental team members.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the benefits and limitations of antimicrobials with oxidative and oxygenating reactions for biofilm management.
- Recognize patient candidates who can benefit from Rx Tray therapy and the appropriate tray treatment protocol.
- Compare patient results with a simple number that helps patients understand the importance of treatment.

Optimal Restorative Results
Perio Tray™ therapy from Perio Protect extends the life of your restorative work by improving the health of gingival tissue. When patients need restorative work, starting treatment with Perio Tray™ therapy provides the healthiest tissue to support the restorations, as evidenced in Dr. Patricia Lugo's case study.
Continuing Perio Tray™ homecare after restorations are completed helps keep the margins clean for longer lasting restorations.
It's just smart dentistry.
Reducing Oral Inflammation Improves General Health and Wellness
Periodontal disease is not just an inflammatory response to a bacterial infection that leads to tooth loss. It is a chronic inflammatory disease with multiple risk and modifying factors that prime individual patients to respond differently to polymicrobial biofilm-induced inflammation.
Perio Tray™ delivery of Perio Gel™ (1.7% hydrogen peroxide) helps better manage inflammation by suppressing pro-inflammatory gram-negative populations in the subgingival microbiome and encouraging the repopulation of healthier bacterial species. When delivered and held deep below the gums, peroxide works as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, physically disrupting the biofilm matrix that protects biofilm communities and lysing bacterial cell walls.
Peroxide via Perio Tray™ delivery does more than just kill bacteria. Its release of oxygen – as it activates, peroxide turns into O2 + H2O – changes the microenvironment of the periodontal pocket so that healthy bacterial species repopulate at the expense of pathogenic ones. The environmental changes in the pockets thus have a direct effect on the changes in the composition of bacterial species in the microbiome.
Because periodontal diseases place a chronic low-grade burden on the immune system and exacerbate other inflammatory primed comorbidities like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis and others, it's important to treat at every stage.
