Perio Pack

The PerioPack (mini) contains Chlorofluor Gel (30 mL) and Bright Teeth Gel (30 mL), along with Professional and Consumer information. Chlorofluor combines chlorhexidine with fluoride to improve oral health and caries resistance. Using a toothbrush, alternate applications of Bright Teeth Gel (carbamide peroxide) and Chlorofluor Gel morning and night. Brushing alternately with these products will reduce gum irritation, improve fluoride uptake and prevent cervical staining from forming as well as whitening the teeth.

COMPOSITION

1) Bright Teeth Gel: Carbamide Peroxide 10% w/v
2) Chlorofluor Gel: Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.2 % w/v, Sodium Fluoride 0.003% w/v

ACTION

Chlorhexidine helps control plaque and eases localised gum irritation.
Small amounts of fluoride ions present are taken up by tooth structure and help to increase resistance to dental caries improves the binding of chlorhexidine onto tooth surfaces.
Carbamide Peroxide 10% gel is a plaque inhibitor that is particularly effective against gram -ve bacteria and has a demonstrated ability to bleach tooth structure with varying degrees of effectiveness.
By alternating daily applications of Chlorhexidine and Carbamide Peroxide bacterial plaque is inhibited, particularly gram –ve. The Carbamide Peroxide inhibits Chlorhexidine staining and the Fluoride in the Chlorofluor reduces cervical sensitivity caused by the Carbamide Peroxide.

INDICATIONS

To assist with the control of chronic gum irritation, peri implantitis and dental caries. The product may be used to reconstitute oral plaque prior to extensive dental treatment and for bleaching teeth for patients who have exhibit cervical sensitivity to Carbamide Peroxide.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Lichen Planus may be exacerbated by Carbamide Peroxide Gel and treatment is contraindicated for these patients. Carbamide Peroxide will remove the smear layer from dentine but has no reported deleterious effects on tooth structure. Children under 3 years of age and those unable to expectorate the gels.

PRECAUTIONS

Isolated cases of uneven bleaching or banding may occur and patients must be advised of this rare possibility. As with most medication, use during pregnancy is not advised or on children under 16 years of age
Avoid contact with eyes.
The use of chlorhexidine alone may cause a harmless superficial staining on teeth where established plaque build-up is present. This will disappear if use of product is stopped.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Initial Visit:
Involves the recording of pocket depths, mobility, gum colour and instructing patients on how to use the product.

Subsequent Appointments:
The patient should be recalled in a month to review progress, observe and record changes to gum tissues. Continue to recall patient as often as required until desired the outcome is achieved. The Perio Pack system may be used as a treatment for extended periods.
