The NYU College of Dentistry has recently published promising research about a surface treatment that may actually reduce inflammation and restrict bacterial growth within periodontal tissue. This appears to bring strong new possibilities in the ability to make the treatment of gum issues less invasive. If the possibility of at-home treatment can turn back the growth of bacterial infections, we welcome the possibility!
Chemical Targeting
This process aims to combine the prevention of bone loss with periodontal disease, as well as the bacterial growth. In addition, this seems like it might show promise in being able to reduce inflammation all simultaneously.
This material blocks succinate, which has been found to be a pivotal chemical in the formation of the progression of periodontal disease. While this has been known to play a part for years, only recently did the same college discover that this also has a significant hand in the bone loss of the jaw.
That would be a fantastic new addition to treatment! This also could reduce stigma and possibly even lead to a suitable over-the-counter solution for gum disease. Imagine if a simple oral rinse could help with further stages of this condition beyond gingivitis.
