OraPharma, Inc. New Study Shows Standard Therapy For Gum Disease is Significantly More Effective When Combined With Local Antibiotics

WARMINSTER, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new study published today in the Journal of Periodontology shows that a combination of the locally delivered antibiotic ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Microspheres, 1mg, plus the standard treatment procedure for gum disease is significantly more effective than standard treatment alone in reducing the amount of surrounding tissue and bone that has been destroyed. The combination of ARESTIN® plus standard treatment effectively controls periodontal infection and creates a better environment where healing can occur.
