teeth whitening and remineralisation industry report | special stabilising molecule, which bonds with the surface of the teeth and is applied with a special mixing device and container that seals and pre- serves both liquids—nHAp and hydrogen peroxide. Technical evolution For each patient, the solution is mixed to freshly ac- tivate the ingredients into a foam with a solid struc- ture that physically adheres to the tooth surface. This foam mixture is another technical evolution. Because of the way it bonds with the tooth surface, the teeth whitening process works immediately and actively. Time and sequence of results PrevDent’s standard application is six times every ten minutes. In each sequence, the foam is always mixed and freshly applied and fully concentrated. Applying the fresh foam mixture with those ex- tremely active ingredients each time is key in reaching the predictable perfect results within the estimated time of one hour. When necessary, a few extra ap- plications are possible. Therapy for sensitivities and remineralisation Using results based on scientific research, PrevDent also developed DeSensiDent—a tooth serum of highly concentrated nHAp. DeSensiDent has be- come the universal desensitising tool and is used for all kinds of treatments against dental sensitivities and for tooth surface remineralisation. In the field of orthodontic treatment, PrevDent has opened doors for intensive preventive therapy, which is being studied and discussed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Before, during and af- ter the orthodontist performs corrective treatments with braces, the tooth surface is treated with the highly concentrated nHAp. PrevDent’s OrthoCare products help prevent tooth decay and reminera- lises enamel erosion occurring at the contact points between teeth and braces. therapy for every single tooth before, during and after orthodontic treatment with braces (GOZ No. 2000a). Mineral restoration and surface sealant therapy follows the GOZ No. 2000a, which is the fissure seal- ant and surface sealant therapy of healthy tooth surfaces. The general office of the German private insurances declares that such a treatment is medi- cally necessary and will be covered by all German private insurance companies. Availability for professional treatments facilities The DeSensiDent product line is currently available on the market, meets EU regulations, and is the number one professional product developed by PrevDent for mineral restoration and surface seal- ants. PrevDent has opened a big and important scientific door for dental professionals performing orthodontic procedures and who want to include remineralising and desensitising treatments into their preventive and restorative therapy portfolios. To summarise, based upon scientific results PrevDent’s in-office repair whitening is a com- bined teeth whitening and remineralisation prod- uct that is fulfilling all national and international restrictive parameters that occurred out of the EU directive 2011/84/EU. As additional complemen- tary products, they developed new desensitising and remineralisation tools based on the usage of nHAp for intermediate short-term applications and intensive long-term applications as sealant products. As another future perspective, this nHAp technol- ogy of PrevDent can become a successful partner for surface sealant technology in the perioprevention concept._ Images courtesy of Dr Skander Ellouze. Medical treatment contact Preventive therapy with nHAp is a focused medical treatment and not an aesthetic, cosmetic treat- ment. This therapy is not based on aesthetical in dications or patients’ wishes, and is therefore considered a medical treatment without additional taxes for the dental and orthodontist businesses. In some countries like Germany, similar surface sealant therapy is paid by insurance as a preventive Prof. Martin Jörgens Dental specialists Düsseldorf, Germany Profesor Invitado University of Sevilla, Spain www.prevdent.com www.periopreventionnetwork.com www.dentalspecialists.de cosmetic dentistry 1 2017 49
