Know the FACTS:

Perio Gel with 1.7% hydrogen peroxide is specially formulated

Hydrogen peroxide is an excellent broad-spectrum antibacterial and debriding agent with a long history of safe usage in dentistry. It is bio-compatible; no one is allergic to it. Humans make hydrogen peroxide in our liver. There is hydrogen peroxide in your mouth with every exhale and peroxide is in human breast milk and white blood cells.

Not all gels with 1.7% hydrogen peroxide work well. The formulation matters. Studies show that Perio Tray™ delivery of Perio Gel reduces bleeding, inflammation and pocket depths. 10 minutes is the minimum application time and 15 minutes is ideal.

At 15 minutes, you get a good kill rate and all of the oxygenating benefits. If patients extend treatment longer than 15 minutes, it doesn't help or hurt them. It's just convenient. Patients also notice and love fresher breath and whiter teeth!

Make Sure Patients Have Enough

Success depends on regular usage. Be sure to dispense enough gel and to check that they are getting proper refills. Daily usage recommendations will help you determine how much gel patients will use:

• Perio Tray @ 1x/day, a tube will last approximately 6 weeks
• Perio Tray @ 2x/day, a tube will last approximately 3 weeks
• Perio Tray @ 3x/day, a tube will last approximately 2 weeks.
  

We recommend that you include 3 tubes of Perio Gel™ when you deliver your Perio Protect case. Patients will typically need 8 tubes of Perio Gel™ per year or two tubes of Perio Gel™ every 3 months..

**Hint: to get the most gel out of a tube, use the Perio Protect tube squeeze. Ask your account rep to set your patients up for success with this little but powerful squeezer.

Caution When Using Hydrogen Peroxide Gels

Please take note that the Perio-Care gel advertised as an alternative to Perio Gel™ oral debriding agent/oral wound cleaner contains 2 chemicals that may cause redness, burning, itching, or swelling as contact dermatitis: Diazolidinyl Urea and DMDM Hydantoin. The chemicals are added to cosmetics and various personal care products in order to prevent spoilage and fend off yeast, bacteria, and molds. The preservatives act as formaldehyde-releasing agents. We are unaware of the chemicals being used in other oral care products.

There are no published studies on human usage of Perio-Care gel with this preservative. Additional information is available from Pfuhler S, Wolf HU. Effects of the formaldehyde releasing preservatives dimethylol urea and diazolidinyl urea in several short-term genotoxicity tests.
