Bone Graft

- Can be performed along with osseous surgery, for local bone replacement due to periodontal inflammation and bone loss.

Arestin

- Antibiotic powder which is placed inside infected periodontal pockets, soon after scaling and root planning is done. Over a period of time Arestin is released into the infected pocket, killing the bacteria that causes periodontal disease.

Because periodontal disease is a chronic disease, your gums need to be checked regularly.
Periodontal disease is very common and affects an estimated 50 million people in the United States.
