ATRIDOX Treatment
Mechanism of Delivery
ATRIDOX is a subgingival, controlled release that is administered using a syringe combined with ATRIGEL and Doxycycline Hyclate. Local anesthesia is not necessary when administering ATRIDOX. The syringe cannula tip is bent to apply the ATRIDOX solution at the base of the pocket, allowing the product to reach the top of the gingival margin. The biodegradable gel solidifies after placement and slowly releases doxycycline to suppress periodontal pathogens within the pocket. ATRIDOX may be reapplied after a four-month period.
Form of Delivery
ATRIDOX is a mixture of a gel (ATRIGEL) and powder (Doxycycline Hyclate) combined together into one syringe to create the ATRIDOX gel substance.
