Guest: Dr. Brian Song, MD – Founder & CEO of PerioVive
Welcome back to The Vet Dental Show, your weekly source for practical skills and expert insights in veterinary dentistry.
In Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Brian Song, we explore how hyaluronic acid (HA) accelerates canine periodontal healing when used alongside bone grafts, root planing, and subgingival curettage. Dr. Song shares clinical results, case studies, and ongoing trials that highlight PerioVive’s role in stomatitis, gingivitis, and post-extraction recovery.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ When visible results from PerioVive can be expected in dogs
✔️ How HA acts as a trigger for healing—not just a membrane substitute
✔️ Best practices for combining HA with bone grafts and membranes
✔️ Open root planing techniques and how to apply PerioVive effectively
✔️ HA’s surprising benefits in canine stomatitis and gingivitis
✔️ Forthcoming research in feline applications and HA water additives
✔️ Why HA outperforms Clindamycin and Doxirobe in reducing pocket depth
Key Takeaways for Veterinary Dental Practice:
- Bone regeneration visible in 4–12 weeks with PerioVive use
- HA improves periodontal ligament attachment and tissue regeneration
- Works synergistically with graft materials, collagen membranes, and open flap debridement
- Ideal for infra-bony defects, stage 2 furcations, and borderline periodontal cases
- More effective than antibiotic gels like Doxirobe in probing depth reduction
- Ongoing trials for HA water additives and feline stomatitis treatment
