Periodontitis and the Bonner method

[bledisloe]

Hello everybody. I was diagnosed with severe periodontitis earlier this year and the periodontist I've been referred to uses the Bonner method. This method is not commonly used (in the UK, it's not practiced at all) and so I'm a little concerned. Researching it, it's seems an effective method so I guess I just wondered why it is so uncommon.

Hi James,
I'm wondering if you have been able to find a dentist or periodontist that performs the Bonner procedure? I live in New York and I have connected with a periodontist in Los Angelos but it would involve extensive travel for me as the treatment plan is over the course of 10 months. I am looking for someone closer to New York. However if I cannot locate anyone I am prepared to travel as everything I have researched about the Bonner method indicates it is very effective. Please let me know. Thanks Shirleen Tomasello

I'm not aware of there being one. You could try emailing the Institute of Periodontitis in Nice. That's the European home of the Bonner method. If anyone has a list, they'll be the ones to ask.

Hi @bledisloe, would you be able to recommend the same doctor from the UK? Like you and others I'm having a hard time finding someone who practices the Bonner method. I contacted the 'Institut International de Parodontie' and they gave me a list of around 5 doctors in France but I'd prefer to go somewhere in London or the UK if possible. Can you please reach out when you get a chance and we can discuss more about it? Many thanks.

How long did it take to hear back from them?

The Bonner Method is a non-traditional approach to treating periodontal disease that is completed over the course of approximately twelve months.The method mainly targets the elimination of pathogens, including amoebae from the infected pockets, and the lowering of motile bacterial activity below 1%.
The Bonner Method was developed by Dr. Mark Bonner from Canada, assisted by Solange Dunoyé from France, and is based on the original works of Dr. Weston Price.The method includes microscopic visualization of the biofilm in all examinations and all appointments for the periodontal therapy protocol.
While the Bonner Method is not commonly used, it has been shown to be effective in treating periodontal disease.The Bonner Method analyzes the plaque at a microscopic level to understand the patient's specific disease and correlate it with their overall health.
It is important to note that while the Bonner Method may not be commonly used, it has been shown to be effective in treating periodontal disease. If you have concerns about the method, it is recommended to discuss them with your periodontist.
