HuFriedyGroup presents its latest product, Sterify Gel

FRANKFURT, Germany: Sterify Gel is a mucoadhesive polymer hydrogel in a prefilled syringe for the treatment of periodontal disease. Intended to promote gingival and alveolar wound healing after mechanical removal of bacterial plaque and calculus from supragingival and subgingival dental and implant surfaces.

The occlusive action at the level of periodontal and peri-implant gingival pockets creates an environment unsuitable for bacterial growth and promotes subsequent tissue regeneration. Sterify Gel can be used in stage III and IV periodontal disease as an adjunctive treatment after scaling and root planing in periodontal and peri-implant pockets.

Sterify Gel is a unique gel on the market: it does not contain antibiotics, disinfectants or antiseptics. Thanks to its viscoelastic and mucoadhesive properties, it easily penetrates the deeper and hard-to-reach areas of the periodontal and peri-implant pockets, adheres to the gingival tissue, alveolar bone, root surface and dental implant and provides full coverage of the pockets. .

After scaling or planing the root and removing the biofilm, the gel is applied to the gum pocket, where it acts as a bulking filler, effectively preventing bacteria from entering and re-infecting the pocket. It can thus mechanically protect the healed sockets and alveolar bone, promoting tissue healing.

A clinical study of Sterify Gel, entitled “Evaluation of Sterify Gel as an adjunctive treatment to scaling and root planing in promoting healing of periodontal pockets: A split-mouth randomized controlled trial,” was published online on January 4, 2024 at International Journal of Dentistry and is accessible here.
