"Perio Protect is an easier procedure with better results."
Texan Penny Falls RDH works for a large family dental practice with Dr. Allen Sprinkle. She has worked as an RDH for 14 years and has used the Perio Protect Method since 2005.
Q - What is your most successful Perio Protect case to date? A - One of my most successful Perio Protect cases involved a patient who came to our office after being recommended for periodontal surgery by another doctor. She had done some background research on periodontal disease on the Internet and found our office. She wanted to try Perio Protect as a way to avoid surgery. She started with pockets that were 5 and 6mms. After four weeks of Perio Protect treatment, she returned for her recall visit and all of her pockets had responded to the treatment, decreasing by at least 2mm. We are monitoring her progress as treatment continues. To date she is very pleased with these results.
Q - Would you describe these results as typical? A - Yes. We are getting great results with Perio Protect. Although we have not been able to avoid surgery in every case - I am thinking of one patient in particular whose pockets responded very well to Perio Protect treatment except for one deep pocket that was so infected before Perio Protect treatment that she may need surgery - many of our patients using Perio Protect have had their oral health restored without surgery.
Q - How does Perio Protect compare to other treatments you have tried? A - Perio Protect is an easier procedure with better results. I like Perio Protect because it is a treatment that is a team effort between the hygienist and patient. Our patients are very health oriented. With Perio Protect they are more involved in their own health and consequently patient compliance is generally high. I'd rather work smarter than harder. Perio Protect has made my job a whole lot easier and it has definitely increased my productivity. With the results we are getting from Perio Protect treatment, my patients are happy and healthy.
