Treatment of Advanced Periodontitis with Blue Radical

At our clinic, we employ Blue Radical—a highly effective treatment modality—together with periodontal regenerative therapy to exhaustively pursue tooth retention even in cases of advanced (severe) periodontitis.

What is Blue Radical therapy?

ブルーラジカル

A treatment developed by Tohoku University, specialized for advanced periodontitis

“Blue Radical” was evaluated in a clinical trial conducted at Tohoku University,

  • Reduces gingival swelling more effectively than conventional methods in a single treatment session.
  • No adverse effects on the human body

This is an innovative treatment technique that has been proven to achieve the above outcomes

The only periodontal treatment device officially approved by the Japanese government

Conventional dental devices were primarily designed for the removal of plaque and calculus, and therefore could not be explicitly stated as being directly effective for periodontal therapy
In contrast, Blue Radical has been clinically proven to be effective for severe periodontitis (Stages III and IV) and has received national approval based on the following criteria

  • Simultaneous implementation of periodontal pocket disinfection and scaling
  • Reduction of periodontal pockets compared to conventional methods

This represents a groundbreaking achievement as the first periodontal treatment device explicitly recognized as effective for Stage III and IV periodontitis

Differences between conventional treatment and Blue Radical therapy

conventional treatment

Ultrasonic vibration only

  • In severe periodontitis, residual calculus is more likely, making complete healing difficult
  • If residual deposits remain, it may become necessary to resort to chemotherapeutic interventions, such as antibiotics, which can carry potential side effects

Blue Radical therapy

Ultrasonic vibration combined with radical sterilization

  • Radical sterilization technology using hydrogen peroxide and laser irradiation, achieving 99.99% elimination of cariogenic and periodontopathic bacteria
  • It has no adverse effects on the human body and efficiently targets improvement of periodontal pockets

Teeth that were recommended for extraction
may potentially be preserved

In practice, many patients who were advised to undergo tooth extraction at other clinics have sought treatment at our facility

Four Key Strengths of Our Periodontal Treatment

Our clinic is capable of treating patients with severe periodontitis, even those considered challenging to manage at university hospitals

1. Accurate assessment of tooth survivability

Our clinic director has extensive experience in treating severe periodontitis and possesses the expertise and skills necessary to accurately determine whether a tooth can be preserved
We conduct precise diagnostics in accordance with international standards and, whenever there is any possibility, strive to do our utmost to preserve the tooth

2. Advanced skills

Even within the same regenerative therapy, treatment outcomes can vary significantly depending on the materials used and the techniques employed
While regenerative periodontal therapy is performed only once or rarely per year in general dental clinics, our clinic conducts it almost daily, continually researching and refining techniques to enhance success rates

Furthermore, we offer a wide range of treatment options, from advanced procedures such as tooth replantation to esthetic approaches that consider cosmetic outcomes

3. Treatment is provided by our clinic director, who has extensive experience in periodontal therapy

The clinic director is a specialist in periodontics who received training in New York
We prioritize preserving natural teeth before considering implants or dentures

Even in cases where extraction was deemed the only option at other clinics, we strive to preserve the tooth to the fullest extent possible

4. Comprehensive treatment system

At university hospitals, treatment responsibilities are often divided by specialty, but our clinic is able to provide comprehensive care, including both caries management and occlusal therapy

Patients can receive comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment in a single location

We recommend private (non-insurance) treatment for severe periodontitis

Periodontal examinations under insurance coverage have limitations…

Insurance-based dental care is governed by strict regulations, which limit the timing and scope of examinations that can be performed
As a result, there are cases where necessary examinations cannot be performed flexibly. For patients seeking more precise diagnostics and treatment, we offer options outside the scope of insurance coverage

Treatment duration may be extended

Under insurance-based care, the scope of treatment that can be performed in a single visit is limited,
often resulting in increased number of visits and longer overall treatment duration
In contrast, under private (non-insurance) care, treatment can be carried out efficiently without restrictions, allowing for shorter treatment periods and less discomfort

Medication restrictions

The types of medications that can be used and their methods of administration are strictly regulated under insurance-based care
For example, antibiotics for chronic periodontitis or analgesics to alleviate post-treatment pain, even when recommended internationally, may not be covered under insurance
