Category Spotlight: Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus and Curodont Protect

The traditional approach to non-cavitated early-stage carious lesions has been to watch and wait. But with a majority of patients presenting for hygiene appointments with early lesions, that is a lot of disease being left untreated. Fortunately, there is a new weapon in the fight against caries: a non-invasive treatment that is quick and easy to apply, pain-free, and does not stain.

A New Approach to Early Caries

Bridging the gap between prevention and invasive restorative treatment, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus enables effective therapy of early, non-cavitated carious lesions through Guided Enamel Remineralization while maintaining the integrity of the tooth. Delivered as a low-viscosity liquid, the patented formulation diffuses into the carious lesion within 3 to 5 minutes to start the remineralization process. Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is suitable for all surfaces, including proximal, and all patients, including children. 

While other non-invasive products used to arrest and remineralize caries primarily release ions that bond to the surface of dentin and enamel, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus enables salivary calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions to diffuse into the enamel surface and begin remineralization.

With the opportunity to help patients by treating early caries in under 10 minutes of total chair time, dental practices can boost production with a product that promotes oral and overall health while providing a positive patient experience.

Protection Beyond the Dental Chair

Designed for in-office and at-home application, Curodont Protect is a dental gel that aids in the prevention of dental caries and acts on exposed dentin, helping prevent sensitivity. Also serving as an at-home complement to chairside treatment with Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, Curodont Protect is for all patients age 6 and up.

Curodont Protect is also helpful for preventing cavities during orthodontic treatments and in patients with a high caries risk, and provides sensitivity relief before and after professional dental cleaning, bleaching, or other invasive dental treatments.
