Ondine Announces Presentation of Positive Clinical Trial Results at the
American Academy of Periodontology's 94th Annual Meeting
VANCOUVER, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Ondine Biopharma Corporation (TSX:
OBP; AIM: OBP), a medical technology company developing
photodisinfection-based products, today announced that a poster entitled
"Photodisinfection in the Treatment of Chronic Periodontitis" will be
presented by Company representatives at the American Academy of
Periodontology's (AAP) annual meeting. This year's AAP meeting is being held
at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Seattle, Washington on
September 6-9, 2008.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to present photodisinfection to the
U.S. periodontal community," said Carolyn Cross, Ondine's President and CEO.
"This peer-reviewed poster highlights the positive results of the Company's
Multi-Centre Trial using its Photodisinfection System. Periodontal pockets
treated with photodisinfection (220mW laser plus photosensitizer) in addition
to scaling and root planing (SRP) yielded statistically significant reductions
in pocket depth (p=0.01) as well as increases in clinical attachment level
(p=0.002) when compared to pockets treated only with SRP."
