| abstract |
The oral administration of bioavailable silicic acid, such as choline-stabilized silicic acid during a period of at least 3 months daily leads to the prevention, inhibition and or treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantatis. The treatment is particularly suitable in combination with appropriate cleaning of the teeth and disinfecting the mouth, by one or more antiseptic and/or antimicrobial agent(s), as carried out at least once and suitably regularly, such as once per year, twice per year, four times per year or even every second month or every month. The treatment may be further enhanced by simultaneous administration of vitamins, trace elements, as well as by administration of a probioticum. Such additional agents may be applied separately, but are preferably incorporated in the formulation of bioavailable silicic acid. |
