Dosage of Welwash in details

Welwash Dosage

Generic name: Welwash 2.5mg

Dosage form: insert, extended release

The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.

One Welwash is inserted into a periodontal pocket with probing pocket depth (PD) 5 mm or greater. Up to 8 chips may be inserted in a single visit. Treatment is recommended to be administered once every three months in pockets with PD remaining 5 mm or greater.

The periodontal pocket should be isolated and the surrounding area dried prior to chip insertion. The Welwash should be grasped using forceps (such that the rounded end points away from the forceps) and inserted into the periodontal pocket to its maximum depth. If necessary, the Welwash can be further maneuvered into position using the tips of the forceps or a flat instrument. The Welwash does not need to be removed since it biodegrades completely.

In the unlikely event of Welwash dislodgement (in the two pivotal clinical trials, only 8 chips were reported lost), several actions are recommended, depending on the day of Welwash loss. If dislodgement occurs 7 days or more after placement, the dentist should consider the subject to have received a full course of treatment. If dislodgement occurs within 48 hours after placement, a new Welwash should be inserted. If dislodgement occurs more than 48 hours after placement, the dentist should not replace the Welwash, but reevaluate the patient at 3 months and insert a new Welwash if the pocket depth has not been reduced to less than 5 mm.
