OraVital® Antibiotic and Antimicrobial Rinses and Creams
Periodontal disease can be challenging to treat because pathogens are protected within an oral biofilm that is difficult for antimicrobials to penetrate. Mechanical removal of biofilm is typically only partially effective because biofilms can rapidly reorganize. Thus using an antibacterial rinse as an adjunct to mechanical removal of plaque and calculus is a significantly more effective way of dealing with oral biofilm infections.
Antimicrobial rinses are most often used to complement mechanical therapy to aid in controlling plaque buildup. Antibiotic rinses include low-dose antibiotics in colloidal suspensions - these rinses can impact pathogens up to 4,000 times more effectively than systemic antibiotics, with immediate treatment onset and without systemic implications. Since infected gum tissue is typically swollen and may have pockets around the teeth, medicated rinses are able to enter the sulcus and are drawn into the depth of these pockets by a reduction in crevicular fluid pressure (the Venturi Effect). Particles dissolve over several hours.
