Abstract: A method for treating a periodontal disease affecting a periodontal pocket of a patient. The method comprises inserting an oral delivery device into the periodontal pocket at a frequency of about once every 4 days to about once every 6 weeks. The oral delivery device is a controlled release solid unit dosage form suitable for insertion into a periodontal pocket of a patient, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-inflammatory agent, at least one antibacterial agent, or the combination of at least one anti-inflammatory agent and at least one antibacterial agent.

Abstract: An oral delivery device for the treatment of periodontal disease, the device being in a solid unit dosage form configured for insertion into a periodontal pocket of a patient. The device consists of: (a) a biodegradable pharmaceutically acceptable water-insoluble polymer in the form of a matrix; (b) a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-inflammatory agent dispersed within the matrix; (c) optionally a plasticizing agent; (d) optionally at least one of a wetting agent, a suspending agent and a dispersing agent; and (e) optionally an enzymatically biodegradable pharmaceutically acceptable water soluble polymer dispersed within the matrix. The biodegradable water-insoluble polymer is degradable by enzymatic degradation, physical disintegration or a combination thereof. Also disclosed is a periodontal implant comprising the device and a method for the treatment of periodontal disease comprising administering to a periodontal pocket of a patient in need of such treatment the delivery device.
