Two Protocols for Perio Tray™ Therapy
Controlled clinical trials demonstrate scientific support for prescribing Perio Tray™ therapy in maintenance and in initial therapy; thus, there are two separate protocols depending on your patient needs.
At the bottom of this page, you will find sample comprehensive patient protocols with in-office templates, the Perio Protect Treatment Guidelines, and a short instructional video for the Perio Tray™ delivery appointment.
Here is a sample consent form for your review and use.

Starting Your Homecare Therapy (for patients)
Maintenance Protocol: 2 - 1
IRx Protocol: 3 - 2 - 1
Maintenance patients are obvious candidates for Perio Tray™ therapy. Prescribe Perio Tray usage 2x/day for 10-15 minutes for at least two weeks and, upon evaluation with improvement, drop patients to 1x/day.
Good news! Controlled clinical trials show that smokers do as well as non-smokers during maintenance therapy with Perio Protect.

The IRx (Initial Prescription) Protocol is the most innovative approach with Perio Protect. Perio Tray™ therapy gives you the option to treat the cause and debride the chronic wounds before acute care with scaling, lasers, or surgery is performed.
The benefit of the IRx approach is the reduction of bleeding, inflammation and bacterial loads that will give you better visibility during your in-office procedures, make the procedures more comfortable for the patients (due to less inflammation), make the procedures faster and easier on the dental professional, and contribute to higher success rates for your treatment because you start with the healthiest tissue possible.
Patients with comorbidity or who want to exhaust all non-surgical options before agreeing to surgery are excellent candidates for this approach.
To make this easy, think in terms of 3 - 2 - 1: 3x/day, then 2x/day, then 1x/day.
