ARESTIN PLACEMENT 

37 y.o Caucasian male with a history of asthma and hypertension. Patient presented to our clinic with generalized red gingiva with moderate marginal and papillary inflammation. Probing depths were 3-7mm with moderate bleeding upon probing. The patient’s case value was H/II loc. III. I recommended the patient to try Arestin, because I believed that he would benefit from it. The patient came back for Arestin placement two weeks after scaling was completed.

 ♦ Initial probing depths: #12D (6mm),#13M(6mm), #13D(6mm), #14M(7mm), #14D(5mm), #15M (7mm), #17M(5mm) and #18D (6mm)

 ♦ Probing depths after SRP and 5 weeks after Arestin placement: #12D (4mm),#13M(4mm), #13D(5mm), #14M(5mm), #14D(4mm), #15M (5mm), #17M(4mm) and #18D (4mm)
