Bioavailable Silicic Acid Reduces Chronic Periodontitis

Example 3

Two individual patients with chronic periodontitis were administrated bioavailable silicic acid in the form of choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®), wherein silicic acid is stabilized with choline chloride. The first patient was a non-smoking male patient of 56 years old. The second patient was a non-smoking female patient of 36 years old. The results are shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, wherein the color provides an indication of the pocket depth. The actual depth is also indicated for each tooth. The data were obtained by measuring the pocket depth around each tooth in the mouth 6 times. In both cases, the periodontitis reduced significantly. Before the treatment, patients had very deep pockets. After the treatment, this was reduced to low depth (less than 3 mm).
