PERIO PROTECT
PERIO TRAY
The prescription tray therapy delivers medication where toothbrushes, floss, and rinses can’t reach.
Dr. Duane Keller wanted to help his mother who was struggling with periodontal disease. “The problem was, we got good results but when we were ready to start the second surgery, she said, ‘That’s not gonna happen.’ It was too painful… She said, ‘Go find a different way,’” he recalled.
After struggling to directly apply medication to the diseased area, he came up with the solution to use a tray to deliver the medicine down into the periodontal pocket.
The Perio Tray is not like the tray used for bleaching. It has a custom-formed seal that varies in accordance to the scope and magnitude of the patient’s disease and ensures an even distribution of medication down into the infected area below the gums.
Bacteria reproduce quickly under the gums, where toothbrush, rinses, and floss can’t reach, making the condition difficult to control between office visits. Research shows the Perio Protect approach produces better results than scaling alone.
The patient simply puts the hydrogen peroxide gel into the Perio Tray and wears it for a few minutes per day. The peroxide, when delivered and held in place with the Perio Tray, debrides and cleanses the oral wound, changing the microenvironment to promote healing in the region.
What the Professionals Say about the Perio Protect Method Periodontic System:
John Chao, DDS, Inventor of the Pinhole Surgical Technique
Alhambra, CA
“I’ve prescribed Perio Trays for nearly 10 years with excellent predictable results. Perio Protect helps reduce pockets and maintain good gingival health long term. I routinely use Perio Trays to improve gingival tissue as a prelude to Pinhole Surgical Technique. Post-op the trays maintain Pinhole results, especially preserving root coverage.”
Lou Graham, DDS

“Perio Protect transformed how I treat patients with chronic periodontitis, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. So many patients — restorative, implant, geriatric— get healthier with Perio Tray therapy.”
R. Bruce Cochrane, DDS
Fort Dodge, IA
“The Perio Tray is a wonderful product, a tremendous tool to help with nonsurgical treatment. The tray delivery also provides the most effective way to run periodontal maintenance. Its absolute biggest benefit is the reduction in bleeding and inflammation.”
Greg Gist, DDS
Southlake, TX
“Perio Protect is our therapeutic ‘silver bullet’ to control the biofilm and the subsequent inflammation in all of our restorative and cosmetic rehabilitations. This product and delivery system has been the answer most patients need to eliminate the bacterial infection that causes the pathology that we treat daily.”
