Why do dental professionals and hygienists use ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Microspheres, 1 mg as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP)? The answer is simple. ARESTIN® is the first locally administered antibiotic (LAA) with Microspheres that has been PROVEN to be more effective than SRP alone.1 ARESTIN® + scaling and root planing (SRP) significantly reduces pocket depths, kills the bacteria associated with periodontal disease, and decreases bleeding on probing.2,3
ARESTIN® kills the most common pathogens associated with periodontal disease. And, with its unique Microsphere technology, ARESTIN® maintains therapeutic drug concentrations for up to 21 days.5
