The Impact of a Topical Oxygen-Releasing Gel (blue^®m) on Deep Periodontal Pockets: A Case Report

Abstract

Periodontitis represents a prevalent oral pathological condition. Various supplementary local therapies are utilized in clinical practice. Recently introduced, topical oxygen therapy exhibits the potential to effectively hinder the growth of plaque (bacterial biofilm). Delivered in the form of an oral gel, this formulation contains cellulose, glycerol, and sodium peroxoborate, releasing topical oxygen in a regulated manner. Additionally, it discharges topical oxygen and lactoferrin in a controlled manner, with the former showcasing antibacterial properties and the latter stimulating bone cell activity. The primary objective of this particular case study is to present a scenario of periodontitis featuring deep periodontal pockets, which was effectively managed through clinical treatment with the use of adjunctive topical oxygen-releasing gel (blue®m).
