Hygiene Tribune U.S. Edition | October 2014B2 Phophy paste is 1.23 percent fluoride ion and promises splatter-free application Keystone’s Gelato comes in six flavors INDUSTRY NEWS By Keystone Industries Staff Dental professionals can spend copious amounts of time searching for a prophy paste that does it all. A paste considered to be ideal would be one that works well for the dentist, does its job in patients’ mouths and enables patients to leave the office with a good taste. With Gelato prophy paste by Key- stone Industries, the possibilities have no limits. The paste, which provides a smooth, splatter-free application, is 1.23 percent fluoride ion and will leave a patient’s teeth with excellent polish — and stains removed. Minimal enamel loss is met with each use. Review: ‘Top Prophy Paste’ One of the biggest bragging rights Ge- lato prophy paste has earned is from The Dental Advisor. For two consecutive years (2013 and 2014), Keystone’s paste won Top Prophy Paste. In the review, based on more than 2,500 uses with 35 consultants, it earned a 4.5 grade out of 5 and a 91 percent clinical rating. The ranking would appear to confirm how the paste gets the clinical job done and also provides patients with the fla- vor options to leave their mouth feeling fresh and clean. Coming in four different grits (fine, me- dium, coarse and x-course), Gelato has a wide range of uses for removing stains. Dental hygienists normally use the fine grit for routine work, and work their way up the grit scale for heavier stain remov- als. Whether it is an easy or tough job, dental professionals can always count on the quality of Gelato to get the job done. A flavor for every taste Keystone’s Gelato comes in six flavors: bubble gum, cherry, mint, pina colada, orange sherbert and raspberry. The paste is available in 6- and 12-ounce jars, and also boxes of 200 individual cups. To order, visit Keystone Industries on- line at www.keystoneind.com/en/home or contact your authorized dealer. ◊ SMILES, page C1 lar dental visits, eating healthy foods and avoiding tobacco products. Sup- port from the dental community is key to the success of the campaign — the more people who hear the message of the importance of oral health at their dental offices and in their communi- ties, the more likely they are to focus on maintaining a healthy mouth.
