Premier Dental Products Company announced an exclusive distribution partnership with Forward Science to bring PerioStom, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared, nondrug oral wound dressing, to dental professionals throughout the U.S.
PerioStom is powered by chitosan microspheres, a biocompatible polymer. Applied directly into the periodontal pocket following procedures such as scaling and root planing, it forms a protective, bioadhesive barrier that is designed to protect vulnerable tissue from irritation and trauma while supporting gingival healing and patient comfort. The delivery system is designed for consistent placement and integration into standard clinical workflows.
Through the partnership, Premier will serve as the exclusive U.S. distributor of PerioStom, leveraging its professional dental network to expand clinician access to the product and support education and adoption nationwide, according to Premier.
"PerioStom represents a unique advancement in post-procedural periodontal care, offering clinicians an FDA-cleared, non-drug solution that supports healing while fitting naturally into existing treatment protocols," said Perry Lowe, CEO of Premier Dental Products Company.
"Together, we are focused on bringing what we believe is one of the most impactful advancements the periodontal therapy field has seen in decades to clinicians nationwide," said Robert J. Whitman, CEO of Forward Science.
