Description

ProphyCare, is one of the most well-known brands of prophylaxis paste worldwide. You choose prophylactic paste after evaluating the degree of discolouration, presence of exposed dentin or cementum, aesthetic and other restorative materials, areas of demineralisation, etc. ProphyCare pastes are available in different grits from coarse to extra-fine and are colour coded for easy identification for the best choice for extensive plaque and stain removal or smooth final polishing.

A general recommendation depending on the clinical situation is to use more than one paste. Start with high abrasiveness (e.g., blue or green) and finish with the less abrasive paste for polishing (e.g., red or yellow).

All ProphyCare pastes have a mild minty taste and do not splatter, it stays in the polishing cup during the treatment. During storage the ProphyCare paste stays homogeneous and does not dry out, liquify or separate. They are packed in easy to dispense tubes and single dose disposable cups, and colour coded for easy identification. Can be used in combination with chlorhexidine.
