Clinical periodontal dressing

Definition

A dental material intended to be used during periodontal procedures to facilitate periodontal tissue healing by providing mechanical, chemical, and/or thermal protection to wounded tissue after surgery or disease, and/or by functioning as a barrier for the prevention of bacterial infiltration in a periodontal pocket after root surface debridement (RSD) and/or planing and root scaling. Some types may adhere to teeth and gums and be used to secure medications, temporary prostheses, and loose teeth. It is available in various forms (e.g., gel in a syringe, fluid in a dispenser with mixing nozzle, substance mixed chairside into a pliable paste). After application, this device cannot be reused.
