Dental treatments and methods, including treating gum disease, using peroxide gel and a viscous antibacterial agent including tetracycline to chemically debride and curettage a treatment area. Treatments and methods include non-surgically scaling and root plaining the treatment area with dental tools such as periodontal scalers and/or curettes during the active period of the chemical debridement. The working surfaces of dental tools can be sharpened for optimal root and tooth surfacing during treatment. Treatment can include instructions for co-therapy by or on behalf of treatment subjects between visits and for maintenance care.

A composition for destroying microorganisms is used for destroying microflora (bacteria, protozoan fungi, etc.) in a sessile state (hereinafter, a biofilm). The composition can find its application in medicine, industry, agriculture and various technical fields for destroying biological films comprised of complex bacterial communities in an extracellular polymeric substance (an exopolymeric matrix), which form on different types of surfaces: biological, industrial, etc. The composition is pre-prepared by dissolving an oxidant and a buffer compound in a solvent. Once the composition has been prepared, it is applied to a biofilm on the surface of an object.

A bleeding control device is provided. The device includes an elongate member with a holding portion and an application portion. A known amount of hemostatic solute within a solution is administered to the application portion and allowed to dry. The elongate member is then sterilized. The resulting bleeding control device may be used during medical procedures such as root canal procedures and others.

The endodontic point containing ultrasonic deformable material is a filler for root canal therapy that decreases in viscosity when subjected to ultrasonic waves. Once the point is inserted into a prepared tooth space, such as a prepared and cleaned root canal, the point is subjected to ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves cause the viscosity of the point to lower, thus allowing the point to flow into voids in the tooth space and allow air to escape from the voids. The point then hardens and remains in the shape acquired when at low viscosity once application of the ultrasonic waves is stopped.
