Understanding PerioDT® and HybenX®: A Guide for Dental Professionals

PerioDT and HybenX are not fundamentally different products; rather, PerioDT is a specific product name for HybenX technology used in dentistry. Both utilize the same "desiccation technology" (a formula of sulfonic/sulfuric acids) to dehydrate and remove plaque, biofilm, and bacteria from periodontal pockets during dental procedures.

A Modern Approach to Periodontal Treatment

PerioDT is a desiccant agent that is used to enhance the effectiveness of periodontal treatments. It is designed to improve clinical outcomes by reducing probing depths and clinical attachment loss when used in conjunction with SRP.

Clinical studies indicate that treatments involving desiccation technology lead to improved outcomes in terms of probing depths and bleeding on probing. It is particularly noted for its long-term effects in maintaining reduced bacterial loads after non-surgical periodontal therapies.

Key Points on PerioDT and HybenX:

  • Relationship: PerioDT and HybenX use desiccation technology, effectively the same chemical agent for subgingival decontamination.
  • Mechanism: They use desiccation to help destroy biofilm and dental plaque, making it easier to remove, especially for periodontitis.
  • Application: Both are professional-use-only gels applied to dental pockets for 30-60 seconds, usually along with scaling and root planing (SRP).
  • Purpose: Desiccants reduce bacterial load in periodontal pockets and aid in tissue decontamination, reducing the need for systemic antibiotics. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

In summary, PerioDT is the product formulation that implements desiccation technology to assist in professional dental cleaning and pocket reduction.

Resources for Workflow Implementation

A key advantage of PerioDT is the onboarding experience. Adding a new product to your workflow isn't always easy, especially when it's a product you may not have used before.

When you purchase PerioDT through Young Specialties, you're not left on your own to figure out how to use it or how it fits into your workflow.

Following your purchase, you'll gain access to quick-start application and patient guides, application videos, continuing education courses and more so you can start using PerioDT right away with confidence. You're also connected with a product expert who can help answer your questions and is available if you need to schedule a live call.

Once you've made the decision to add desiccation technology to your practice, implementing it should be simple and straightforward. Young Specialties helps you get the most out of your investment without having to navigate complex onboarding protocols that delay you from doing what you do best: providing your patients with the best care possible.

Status quo treatments simply don't allow you to effectively solve for chronic disease. Practice at the top of your license with leading-edge specialty products that enable you to deliver optimal patient experiences and clinical outcomes.
