Arestin ®
Advanced technology in our office in Los Angeles includes Arestin Microspheres which helps fight against complex bacteria and help sustain healthier gums.
How ARESTIN Microspheres Work
Arestin Microspheres are a polymer base that contains a 1mg powder of the antibiotic minocycline hydrochloride (HCI). With the Arestin powder, it becomes an easy-to-use and effective drug that goes directly to the site of infection. The microspheres allow the Arestin to release overtime when healing the patient’s gum.

What is Arestin for and How Does it Work?
The infection is also known as periodontitis and if left untreated, it can expand the periodontal pocket depth (PD) and the bleeding on probing (BOP). Overtime the PD becomes deeper which provides a larger space for bacteria to live and leads to an active infection. To help sustain a healthier balance of bacteria, scaling and root planing may be an option, but it may not be enough.
This is where Arestin comes in and directly adheres to the periodontal pocket to help kill the bacteria that inhibits periodontitis. Arestin combined with the moisture in the patient’s mouth will break down (hydrolyze) the polymer base. This causes water-filled channels to form inside the microspheres which control the release of minocycline HCI.
