Science-backed gum disease treatment
Gum disease and dental implant infections are common issues in dentistry, leading to tooth and implant loss. Recent research shows that traditional treatments like scaling and root planing may not be enough to stop inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. Horch (2018) discusses a new non-antibiotic approach using active oxygen technology: OXYSAFE®, created by Ardoz Healthcare International and introduced by Hager & Werken in the German market.
How active oxygen works
OXYSAFE® utilizes a patented active oxygen method that oxidizes protein structures within bacterial biofilms, effectively neutralizing anaerobic bacteria in gum pockets and around implants. Unlike chlorhexidine and antibiotics, this technology can penetrate biofilms without harming the natural oral flora or promoting resistance.
Clinical benefits and scientific support
Studies show significant improvements with OXYSAFE®, including reduced pocket depths, reduced inflammation, and improved gum health. Research from Radboud University Nijmegen demonstrates a decrease in pathogenic bacteria and an average 56% reduction in pocket depth. In cases of implant infections, up to 75% saw partial re-osseointegration, even among smokers. Over 80% of diabetic patients with chronic wounds experienced noticeable healing.
Biocompatibility and patient safety
OXYSAFE® is highly biocompatible, non-cytotoxic, free of peroxides and radicals, and does not harm blood cells, mucosal cells, or bone cells. It can safely be used in initial and maintenance stages of gum and implant therapy.
Dual treatment approach
The treatment involves professional application of OXYSAFE® Perio Protection Gel by the dentist directly into affected pockets, followed by the patient using OXYSAFE® Liquid Mouthwash at home. This combination promotes long-term gum stability and reduces reinfection risks.
Relevance to modern dentistry
This oxygen-based therapy aligns with the demand for minimally invasive, evidence-based, and antibiotic-sparing strategies in periodontics and implantology. OXYSAFE® offers dental professionals a scientifically proven alternative that combines clinical effectiveness and patient safety.
