3 Periodontal disease is a common, chronic, and persistent infection 1-6 Periodontal disease is: A persistent infection that can spread rapidly throughout the periodontium 1,2 The most common chronic bacterial infection in adults 1,3 A problem that affects more than 35.7 million Americans 4 The #1 cause of adult tooth loss in the US 5 Three out of 4 American adults develop a periodontal infection 6 References: 1.

4 Red complex bacteria are found at the infection site Specific bacteria are implicated in periodontal disease and are commonly found at the site of infection 1,2 There is a direct association between red complex bacteria and 2 of the most meaningful parameters in periodontal disease diagnosis 1 : Pocket depth Bleeding on probing References: 1.

5 Periodontal bacteria form dense biofilms The bacteria associated with periodontal disease reside within biofilms above and below the gingival margin 1-3 Biofilms are dense mixtures of organisms resistant to natural antibodies and proteins that the body uses to fight infection 1 Slide content adapted with permission from Dr. Richard H.

6 Collectively, the structure and properties of biofilms make it difficult to remove them with SRP alone 1,2 Biofilms possess a self-protective matrix shield 1 Each contains a microenvironment of bacteria 1,2 Bacteria exist in large numbers Bacteria rapidly multiply, spread, and recolonize Biofilms cross-feed and cross-communicate 1,2 Loosely attached and unattached bacteria found at the biofilm surface have direct contact with the epithelium of the gingival tissue 2 Slide content adapted with permission from Dr. Richard H. Nagelberg. References: 1. Socransky SS, Haffajee AD. Dental biofilms: difficult therapeutic targets. Periodontol ;28: Page RC. Periodontal diseases: a new paradigm. J Dent Educ 1998;62:

7 Biofilms shelter millions of bacteria 1 Approximately 10 million to 1 billion bacteria have been observed in the biofilm-infected periodontal pocket 1 The depth of biofilm-infected pockets ranges from 4 mm to 12 mm 1 Slide content adapted with permission from Dr. Richard H. Nagelberg. Reference: 1. Loesche WJ, Grossman NS. Periodontal disease as a specific, albeit chronic, infection: diagnosis and treatment. Clin Microbiol Rev 2001;14:

8 Biofilms can induce bacteremia 1 Biofilms release a variety of biologically active inflammatory products, including: Bacterial endotoxins Protein toxins Peptides Organic fatty acids These destructive molecules cause gingival inflammation and can enter the bloodstream, resulting in bacteremia Slide content adapted with permission from Dr. Richard H. Nagelberg. Reference: 1. Scannapieco FA. Periodontal inflammation: from gingivitis to systemic disease? Compend Contin Educ Dent 2004;25(suppl 1):16-25.

9 Bacteremia generates an inflammatory response 1,2 The body responds to bacteremia with inflammation and tissue destruction 1 The body releases cytokines, small proteins responsible for gingival inflammation 1 Cytokines induce and enhance the production of a destructive family of enzymes, also known as MMPs 1,2 MMPs break down gingival tissue, leading to the formation of periodontal disease 2 Slide content adapted with permission from Dr. Richard H.

10 C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are elevated in patients with periodontal infection Statistically significant increases in CRP have been observed in patients with periodontal infection vs healthy patients 1 CRP has been linked to a number of important systemic events 2,3 Slide content adapted with permission from Dr. Richard H.

11 The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) links periodontal disease to other serious health risks* According to the AAP 1 : Periodontal bacteria can enter the blood stream, travel to major organs, and begin new infections Current research suggests that periodontal bacteremia may lead to: Heart disease, stroke, and/or diabetes Increased risk of delivering a preterm, low birth-weight baby Increased health risk for people with diabetes, respiratory disease, or osteoporosis *A causal relationship has not been fully established.

12 Routine, effective treatment for periodontal infection is needed Despite the prevalence of periodontal infection and the persistent nature of bacteria and biofilms, more than 70% of dental practices do not perform regular full-mouth probing and charting 1 Although 3 out of 4 American adults are affected by periodontal disease 2 : Prophylaxis procedures outnumber SRP procedures by a ratio of 20:1 3,4 Less than 1/2 of periodontal pockets are treated with adjunctive therapy 5 * *According to a utilization tracking survey evaluating 14,945 patient records from 647 offices. The average number of pockets per patient was 9. References: 1. Levin RL. Periodontal profitability. Available at: Accessed December 26, American Dental Association. For the dental patient.

14 Scaling and root planing (SRP) has mechanical limitations Even after SRP, the bacteria in biofilms can remain, multiply, and return to baseline levels within days 1 Instrumentation does not always reach the furcation region. SRP instrumentation is limited in areas of restricted access 2,3 In a clinical study, 58% of sites had residual calculus after SRP 4 Deep pockets can restrict access and create a reservoir for bacteria.

25 ARESTIN + SRP has a greater therapeutic effect than SRP alone * in other difficult-to-treat patient groups 1-3 Based on pocket depth reduction scores at 9 months Greater therapeutic effect* *Adapted from Williams RC, Paquette DW, Offenbacher S, et al patients with moderate or advanced periodontitis with bleeding on probing. SRP was performed at baseline. Clinical assessments were conducted at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 9 months. ARESTIN or vehicle was administered to all sites with pocket depths >5 mm. Change in pocket depth from baseline to 9 months was recorded for ARESTIN + SRP and SRP alone. Therapeutic effect was derived by calculating the percent difference between the 9-month scores.

26 ARESTIN is easy to administer The administration of ARESTIN does not require local anesthesia. Sterilize the handle tip between patients. ARESTIN does not have to be removed, as it is bioresorbable. ARESTIN does not require an adhesive or dressing. Insert the ARESTIN cartridge into the handle while exerting slight pressure. Twist until you feel and hear the cartridge lock into place. Should you need to manipulate the cartridge tip to reach difficult-to-access areas, gently bend the tip, leaving the blue cap on. Bending the tip after removal of the blue cap may cause the internal plunger to rupture the cartridge wall.

27 ARESTIN is easy to administer Place the cartridge tip into the periodontal pocket, parallel to the long axis of the tooth. Be sure not to force the tip into the base of the pocket. Gently press the thumb ring to express the ARESTIN powder while withdrawing the cartridge tip away from the base of the pocket. If you feel any resistance during delivery, withdraw the device further. Once delivery is complete, retract the thumb ring and remove the ARESTIN cartridge with your free hand. Appropriately discard the cartridge and sterilize the handle prior to reuse.

28 ARESTIN is safe and well tolerated in clinical trials 1 Reference: 1. ARESTIN (minocycline hydrochloride) 1 mg Microspheres [Prescribing Information]. Warminster, PA: OraPharma, Inc., 2005.

31 ARESTIN Safety Information ARESTIN is indicated as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) procedures for reduction of pocket depth in patients with adult periodontitis. ARESTIN may be used as part of a periodontal maintenance program which includes good oral hygiene, and scaling and root planing. ARESTIN contains minocycline, a tetracycline derivative, and therefore should not be used in children and in pregnant or nursing women. The use of drugs of the tetracycline class during tooth development may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were headache (9.0%), infection (7.6%), flu syndrome (5.0%), and pain (4.3%). These occurred at a similar rate to SRP and SRP + placebo.
