The EXXCL approach to periodontal disease includes an easy-to follow protocol that is not case dependent. It requires no unusual probe charting or plotting of bleeding points. Typically, only one oral appliance per arch is required. If you can make a 2mm soft night guard, you can make our appliance yourself.

• Make the appliance(s) using new models; obtain as much anatomical detail as possible and trim 2mm beyond the gingival margin.
• Deliver the appliance(s) to your patient, along with an EXXCL Oral Blue (EOB) Starter Kit (two 4 oz EOB Oral Irrigant, Foamer, Toothpaste) and a Patient Instruction Sheet (click here for printable copy).
• Instruct your patient to:
  • Brush and rinse exclusively with EOB Toothpaste and EOB Professional Oral Irrigant (as often as you recommend).
  • Fill the Foamer to approximately ½” from the top with EOB Oral Irrigant.
  • Use the Foamer to load the appliance(s) with EOB each night before bed.
  • Insert filled appliance(s) into their mouth and wear overnight.
  • In the morning, remove the appliance(s), wash with warm water and soap, and set aside to air dry.
• Repeat this protocol until the patient’s periodontal condition has resolved, usually in 4 to 8 weeks.

“Periodontal disease and gingivitis are rampant in this neck of the woods. Wow are they backing off now! In the past I thought these problems were difficult to treat and pernicious. Now they’re as easy to treat as doing a set of models. Pyorrhea sees EOB coming and runs. I’ve never seen anything like it. Teeth that were 4+ mobility are standing at attention at 1, and smiling. The teeth in Texas within my reach are happy!”
