ABSTRACT:
A method of and system for the treatment of periodontal diseases is disclosed wherein a patient, using a delivery device, applies a medicament directly to the infected site. The delivery device may comprise a piece of tufted dental floss, an interdental brush, a syringe, or a night time application tray for forcibly applying medicament to the infected site. The delivery device carries a supply of an antimicrobial or antibiotic medicament, preferably a tetracycline, dichloride or hydrogen peroxide solution or gel. By flossing, brushing, injecting, or by forcibly disbursing the medicament with the delivery device, the patient can apply the medicament directly on or in close proximity to the infected site (i.e., bony support structure of the teeth). The medicament (tetracycline) bonds with the bony structure to promote bone regeneration, decrease osteoclastic activity and to allow osteoblastic activity to continue with a consequent decrease in bone loss rate while promoting bone growth (regeneration). Through the use of an oxygenation agent (hydrogen peroxide), fluoride, dichloride, or other medicaments, microbial activity, plaque development, and pathologic processes are decreased.
