PerioChip is a second line treatment in the care and maintenance of Periodontal Disease. It comes in the form of an innovative, easy to insert biodegradable chip containing 2.5 mg of chlorhexidine digluconate – an ideal non-antibiotic adjunct treatment to reduce pocket depth in adults with periodontitis.
It has been demonstrated clinically to be effective and well tolerated for periodontal pockets with a depth of 5 mm or more.The biodegradable gelatin matrix contains 2.5 mg of chlorhexidine digluconate which is released slowly over a period of 7 days. A high local concentration of chlorhexidine eliminates 99.9% of bacteria in the pocket and suppresses the early recovery of the periodontal pathogenic biofilm for up to 11 weeks.
PerioChip should be used as part of a medium to long term periodontal treatment plan. Give your patients the benefits of an easy, local non-antibiotic solution that is well tolerated and clinically effective.
