What is Arestin

MinocyclineThe Generic name of this drug

Treatment SummaryMinocycline is an antibiotic that was developed in 1966. It is more powerful than other tetracycline antibiotics and works to kill both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It was approved by the FDA in 1971 and is commonly used to treat infections.

Effectiveness

How Arestin Affects PatientsMinocycline is an antibiotic that stops bacteria from making proteins needed for them to survive. It is usually taken 2-4 times a day, so it does not last very long. It should not be taken more than 400mg in 24 hours. People should be aware of the potential risks associated with taking minocycline, such as problems with teeth and bone development, inflammation of the colon, side effects on the central nervous system, and swelling of the brain.

How Arestin works in the bodyTetracyclines enter bacteria by attaching to metal ions like magnesium. This allows the medicine to enter the bacteria's outer membrane and dissolve, allowing it to pass into the cytoplasm. Once inside, tetracyclines prevent proteins from being formed, stopping the bacteria from reproducing.

When to interrupt dosage

The quantity of Arestin is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Periodontitis, Rickettsialpox and Lymphogranuloma Venereum. The amount of dosage is contingent upon the technique of delivery (e.g. Capsule, extended release or Tablet, film coated, extended release) noted in the following table.

Arestin for Inflammation of the Tissues Surrounding a Tooth

I'm not sure if this medication has helped with my periodontal disease after one month. Three of my teeth have become discolored at the root, and I haven't changed anything about my home dental care. Going in to get them checked soon, but I'm worried the doctors will say it's not from the treatment when I can't think of any other reason for it to be happening.

The side effects I've experienced are not worth the money. I would strongly urge you to avoid this treatment.

Arestin for Inflammation of the Tissues Surrounding a Tooth

Even after taking this antibiotic for the full 21 days, I found it to be quite strong. I experienced muscle and tendon pain, gum inflammation, and even got a sunburn while walking in the shade. My dentist didn't give me any information on potential side effects, which I think is terrible.

Arestin for Inflammation of the Tissues Surrounding a Tooth

The pain I experienced after this treatment was much worse than before I began. I've already had to have two root canals and may need another one.

1Patient Review

3/11/2012

Arestin for Inflammation of the Tissues Surrounding a Tooth

I told the hygienist that I was sensitive to tetracycline- she said it would not enter the blood stream - I have been physically ill since this treatment- 1 week ago- I have referred pain (on the opposite side of my mouth)- I feel sick to my stomach- She said I am not swollen or sore around the site, so it is not a reaction to this. I strongly disagree- it says "Aresti should not be used in any patient with a known sensitivity to tetracycline.

1Patient Review

Arestin for Inflammation of the Tissues Surrounding a Tooth

I had a deep cleaning yesterday and the dentist applied 2 doses of Arestin. Today, I woke up to find that the left side of my face was swollen and there was a green tint to the area. I'm concerned that it might get worse.

Arestin for Inflammation of the Tissues Surrounding a Tooth

Arestin is, unfortunately, a scam. I learned this from getting a second opinion from another periodontist.

Patient Q&A Section about arestin

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is ARESTIN used for?

"ARESTIN® (minocycline HCl) Microspheres, 1mg is used in combination with Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) to treat patients with adult periodontitis (gum disease). ARESTIN® can be used as part of an overall oral health program that includes good brushing and flossing habits, as well as SRP."

Answered by AI

Is ARESTIN necessary?

"Medicating patients who don't need it is unnecessary for most patients as they typically respond well to non-surgical methods that don't involve antibiotics. This goes against the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations for appropriate antibiotic use."

Answered by AI

What is a dental ARESTIN?

"Arestin is a dental antibiotic which is placed directly into infected gum pockets by a professional after a scaling and root planing procedure. Arestin is more effective than root planing alone in fighting against harmful bacteria."

Answered by AI

How long does ARESTIN last for?

"Arestin starts working quickly, right at the source of infection and keeps fighting bacteria long after you leave the dental office. Arestin fights infection and inflammation for 30 days and provides significantly better results than scaling and root planing alone for up to 90 days."

Minimally Invasive Flap Procedure + Emdogain for Gum Disease

This trial studies a modified approach to a minimally invasive periodontal procedure, using a videoscope to better view and debride root surfaces. The goal is to improve the traditional "gingival curettage" technique.

GentleWave vs. Waterlase for Root Canal Treatment

Chapel Hill, NC

This trial compared the success rates of three different root canal treatments: the GentleWave System, Waterlase iPlus, and conventional root canal treatment using passive ultrasonic activation. They also looked at clinician and patient experiences with the different techniques. They found that the GentleWave System and Waterlase iPlus had higher success rates than the conventional root canal treatment, and that both were acceptable to clinicians and patients.
