The new Implant Post-Op Care System from OraCare is designed to protect implants from the number-one cause of failure, peri-implantitis.
Peri-implantitis can affect the stabilization of the implant and thus cause failure. Peri-implantitis can also cause the tissue to shrink, resulting in a poor cosmetic outcome. OraCare’s Implant Post-Op Care System was designed specifically to fight and prevent peri-implantitis.
An alternative to chlorhexidine, the OraCare system contains activated chlorine dioxide and xylitol, which have the ability to eliminate bacteria, viruses, fungi, biofilm, and volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) without causing staining and calculus buildup.
The system includes an in-office gel and a take-home oral rinse. The gel offers a slower release and is three times as strong as the rinse to make a strong, positive impact right after surgery and eliminate microbes as soon as possible. The patient takes the rinse home and uses it for the next month, at least.
The system is designed for usage after surgery, but it also can be used to rehabilitate an implant with peri-implantitis. This product is designed to help protect the investment that both the doctor and patients make on implants.
