PREVENTING OR TREATING PERIODONTAL DISEASE

摘要

The disclosure relates to a method for treating or preventing periodontal disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. The method may comprise providing an antimicrobial composition disposed within a reservoir, the reservoir being fluidly connected to an exterior surface of an applicator having a frictional stress value sufficient to cause mechanical displacement of a biofilm present on an oral cavity surface; dispensing said antimicrobial composition through said applicator onto said exterior surface of said applicator; applying the antimicrobial composition to the oral cavity surface; and rubbing said applicator onto said oral cavity surface and exerting pressure towards said oral cavity surface.
