By Preventech Staff n Studies show that saliva contain- ing calcium and phosphate can aid the remineralization process in the presence of fluoride. NuFluor® , a patented combina- tion chemistry containing fluoride, calcium and phosphate, was devel- oped by Ken Peterson, vice presi- dent of research and development at Preventech. Petersonexplainedthelogic:“With the extended contact time associated with fluoride varnish, it just makes sense to add these building blocks of tooth enamel.” NuFluor joins the list of calcium phosphate additives currently available in fluoride varnish: ACP (amorphous calcium phosphate), TCP (tri-calcium phosphate) and RECALDENT® (Casein Phosphopep- tides–amorphous calcium phos- phate–CPP–ACP). NuFluor has recently been added to both Vella and VellaMini 5 percent fluoride varnish to boost saliva con- centration and give varnish patients the extra protection they need. It’s specifically designed to enhance the remineralizing effects of fluoride, because fluoride requires a good source of calcium and phosphate to remineralize the tooth in the first place. NuFluor coexists within the fluo- ride varnish formula until it reaches the tooth surface. Once moistened by saliva, it releases calcium, phosphate and fluoride ions to react with the tooth surfaces. Vella’ssmooth,clear,thinlayerfor- mula goes on easy, offering improved esthetics and mouth feel to help withpatientcompliance,accordingto Preventech. Vella provides fast fluo- ride release and uptake at two hours, aiding in relief from sensitivity. Plus it’ssweetenedwithxylitolandgluten- free. And both Vella and VellaMini are n-Hexane free. Visit booth No. 2712 here at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting for more information, a product demonstra- tion and samples to take back to your office and apply on your patients. To order Vella or VellaMini, ask your favorite dealer sales representative or call Preventech at (800) 474-8681, and they will ship your order in your dealer’s name. exhibitors20 Chicago Midwinter — February 27, 2016 NuFluor: It’s about the chemistry Ad Here in Chicago For a product demonstration of Vella orVellaMini,aswellassamplestotake home, stop by the Preventech booth, No. 2712. 5 (Photo/Provided by Preventech)
