What Is ARESTIN®?
ARESTIN® contains minocycline hydrochloride in microspheres and is placed directly into periodontal pockets. Your dentist may recommend it alongside scaling and root planing as part of a broader plan to manage gum disease. It is not a replacement for professional periodontal treatment or ongoing dental care.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Whether ARESTIN® is appropriate depends on your periodontal condition and treatment needs. Your dentist will examine your gums and discuss the recommended approach, including the purpose of ARESTIN®, possible risks and other options.
What to Expect
If ARESTIN® is recommended, a dental professional places it in selected periodontal pockets. Your care team will provide instructions for after treatment and explain when to return for follow-up. The treatment plan and response vary by patient.
