Kettenbach USA’s new Profisil Fluoride Varnish, described as a new dimension of varnish gel, contains 5% sodium fluoride in a mucosa-friendly, pleasantly flavored dimethicone gel. This formula does not contain ethyl alcohol or colophony (rosin), which means the potential of soft tissue irritation or rosin-based allergies is reduced, according to the company.
The product features a number of benefits for both the clinician and the patient, and it’s suitable for most ages because it is ethyl alcohol-free
Benefits for the dental professional include:
- The single dose blister contains sufficient varnish to cover all affected teeth of both arches
- Profisil Fluoride Varnish can be applied in any direction to all affected tooth surfaces, migrating even to difficult to access areas
- A prophylactic cleaning is not required prior to use
- It is unnecessary to dry teeth prior to application of the varnish gel
- Lubricious, non-clumping formula; no need to replace gummy brushes
Patients, meanwhile, appreciate the smooth mouth feel and refreshing lubricating properties, says Kettenbach. Other benefits include: delivers a protective coating to tooth surfaces by occluding tubules with calcium fluoride crystals; no bitter taste or burning; non-allergenic dimethicone formula; and can be used for all ages (suitable for children with primary teeth >6 months of age), according to Kettenbach.
