Periowave : A New Treatment for Periodontal Disease

Ondine´s proprietary treatment, Periowave uses a novel non-antibiotic approach for treating the underlying infection responsible for periodontal disease. After routine scaling, the dentist will apply the compound directly into the periodontal pockets and around the gum line of affected teeth. The compound quickly penetrates the plaque preferentially binding to multiple structural components in bacteria, including their toxic secretions. Laser light is then applied directly to the affected sites using a fibre optic probe. A powerful free-radical reaction destroys the targeted bacteria and the associated toxins such as collagenase.
