| 20100112525 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROGRESSIVELY TREATING AND CONTROLLING ORAL PERIOPATHOGENS CAUSING SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATIONS - Methods and systems for treating and controlling oral periopathogens that have been found to be associated with systemic inflammation and/or disease in a periodontal pocket, inhibiting their entry into the host circulatory system, and decreasing the systemic effects. A bacterial community present in one or more oral treatment regions is determined. A periodontal medicament delivery tray is prepared for the patient with the delivery tray being configured with one or more application regions, each configured for applying a medicament to a different one of the oral treatment regions. The medicaments are applied to each oral treatment region, including placing each medicament into a different application region of the delivery tray. Each of the applied medicaments is applied as a function of a determined efficacy of the medicament against the bacterial community determined to be in the oral treatment region associated with the application region in which each medicament is applied. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100112526 | ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ORAL-ORIGINATED SYSTEMIC DISEASE - Systems and methods for treating gingival tissue or oral biofilm includes applying to the gingival tissue (sulcus or periodontal pocket) a biofilm penetrating antimicrobial agent; removing the imbedded anaerobic bacteria from the gingival tissue following at least one applying of the antimicrobial agent to the gingival tissue; administering colloidal hydrogen peroxide gel to the gingival tissue following the removing of imbedded anaerobic bacteria; and cleaning the gingival tissue with a cleaning agent directly following the administering of the colloidal hydrogen peroxide gel for modifying the environment from anaerobic (diseased) to aerobic (healthy). | 05-06-2010 |
| 20120156640 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR CREATING A POSITIVE PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT FOR TREATMENT OF ORAL BIOFILMS ASSOCIATED WITH PERIODONTAL DISEASE - A medicament delivery tray and method for treating periodontal disease include fitting of a tray about the teeth and gums wherein the tray includes a seal that creates a substantially airtight seal against the gumline and a substantially airtight treatment chamber about the enclosed teeth and gums, the tray further having a reinforcing skirt providing a biasing force to the seal wherein a positive pressure can be created in the treatment chamber for forcing a medicament into the gums about the enclosed teeth. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20130333707 | Article For Stabilizing Jaw Joint Relationships For Treatment Of Sleep Apnea - An oral appliance for treating sleep apnea of a patient including a monolithic body having an upper tray with an upper recess formed to conform to the maxillary teeth of the patient and a lower tray having a lower recess formed to conform to the mandibular teeth, the monolithic body defining a coupling of a rear portion of the upper tray to a rear portion of the lower tray at an angle forming a orifice between front mandibular teeth and front maxillary teeth, the upper tray including a raised upper seal surrounding the recess corresponding to the patient's upper gum line and the lower tray including a raised lower seal surrounding the recess corresponding to the patient's lower gum line each when the patient's teeth are disposed in the recesses. | 12-19-2013 |
| 20130334719 | Method Of Manufacturing An Oral Tray For Stabilizing Jaw Joint Relationships For Treatment Of Sleep Apnea - A method of manufacturing an oral appliance for treating sleep apnea of a patient that has a monolithic body with an upper tray with an upper recess formed to conform to the maxillary teeth of the patient and a lower tray with a lower recess formed to conform to the mandibular teeth, the monolithic body defining a coupling of a rear portion of the upper tray to a rear portion of the lower tray at an angle forming a orifice between front mandibular teeth and front maxillary teeth. | 12-19-2013 |
| 20140080089 | DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF FOR CREATING A POSITIVE PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT FOR TREATMENT OF ORAL BIOFILMS ASSOCIATED WITH PERIODONTAL DISEASE - A medicament delivery tray and method for treating periodontal disease include fitting of a tray about the teeth and gums wherein the tray includes a seal that creates a substantially airtight seal against the gum line and a substantially airtight treatment chamber about the enclosed teeth and gums, the tray further having a reinforcing skirt providing a biasing force to the seal wherein a positive pressure can be created in the treatment chamber for forcing a medicament into the gums about the enclosed teeth. | 03-20-2014 |
| 20140271499 | ARTICLE AND METHOD OF INITIATING BONE REGROWTH AND RESTORATION OF GUM RECESSION WITH LOCALIZED SUBGINGIVAL DELIVERY OF MEDICATIONS - A system and method of initiating alveolar bone regrowth about a tooth of a patient suffering from bone loss due to periodontal disease that includes topically administering to a periodontal pocket about the tooth of the patient a hydrogen peroxide solution and topically administering to the periodontal pocket about the tooth a medicament that can help manage/control osteogenic activity. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150297331 | ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ORAL-ORIGINATED SYSTEMIC DISEASE - Methods for treating systemic disease in oral biofilms having a facultative anaerobic bacteria pathogen present including providing a periodontal medicament delivery tray having a seal against a patient's adjacent gums containing the oral biofilms with the systemic disease, said seal formed so as to have no contact with teeth, applying to the gingival tissue (sulcus or periodontal pocket) a biofilm penetrating antimicrobial agent, removing the imbedded anaerobic bacteria from the gingival tissue following at least one applying of the antimicrobial agent to the gingival tissue; repeatedly administering colloidal hydrogen peroxide gel to the gingival tissue following the removing of imbedded anaerobic bacteria; and following each administering cleaning the gingival tissue with a cleaning agent directly following the administering of the colloidal hydrogen peroxide gel for modifying the environment from anaerobic to aerobic. | 10-22-2015 |
