Rosema study Less is more Philips has announced the introduction of the latest product to add to its range of tooth whitening innovations – Zoom DayWhite 6 per cent HP with ACP. This is an at-home teeth whitening formula, designed to be dispensed by a dental professional, in the form of custom fit trays into which whitening gel is applied. The trays are worn twice a day for 15 to 30 minutes depending on the advice of the dental professional, and will give patients a noticeably whiter smile within two weeks. Zoom DayWhite 6 per cent contains Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP), which when combined with fluoride, spreads over the surface of teeth and bonds with the enamel to provide enamel protection, improved luster and shine, with reduced sensitivity. The product provides patients with a healthy white smile and patients who have used it experienced less fadeback to their original tooth colour after six months. An additional benefit for dental professionals is the product’s patented dual- barrel syringe technology, which provides guaranteed gel stability through its shelf life without the need for refrigeration. Philips Zoom DayWhite 6 per cent HP with ACP is compliant with the new European Commission directive which prohibits the commercialisation of any whitening products in the European Union (EU) containing more than six per cent hydrogen peroxide.
