Oral Health Outcomes With Amphion Mouthwash as an Adjunct to Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease initiated by dental plaque biofilm as the primary etiological factor. Its main pathological feature is the progressive destruction of periodontal supporting tissues. Currently, mechanical removal of dental calculus and plaque remains the foundational treatment for periodontitis, primarily consisting of supragingival scaling, subgingival curettage, and root planing. However, such treatments have certain limitations: microorganisms from other areas in the oral cavity can recolonize the periodontal pockets, leading to disease recurrence. Therefore, the adjuvant use of antimicrobial agents is often necessary. Nevertheless, long-term or extensive use of antibiotics can easily induce bacterial resistance, resulting in the gradual evolution of various pathogenic bacteria associated with human diseases into multidrug-resistant strains. Amphion oral rinse is a mouthwash developed based on cell membrane-mimicking polymer materials, with its core breakthrough being its "zero immunogenicity" property. By forming a long-lasting physical barrier on the oral surface, this product effectively inhibits plaque regrowth and avoids side effects such as flora imbalance caused by broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. The duration of its barrier effect can exceed 7 days. Consequently, in the treatment of periodontal diseases, Amphion oral rinse demonstrates potential advantages over traditional antibiotic-based medications. It is expected to serve as an effective means of plaque control, complementing mechanical therapies and other approaches to eliminate periodontal pathogenic microorganisms, reduce or eliminate local inflammatory responses, and thereby achieve the goal of adjuvant treatment for periodontitis.
