You stand there. Every morning. Every evening. With your toothbrush and your toothpaste. You scrub away. And the foam trickles off your lips and onto your chin. What will happen today? Or tonight? CURAPROX tells you: don’t scrub. Don’t foam. There’s more to know about brushing and this knowledge will really make you smile – for a lifetime: Mind the Gap at www.curaprox.com

1Foreword

Anyone who has used the London underground will be familiar with the warning: Mind the gap, warning passengers about the gap between the platform and train.

“Mind the gap” has now also become a CURAPROX key message and here’s why.

There are three types of gaps that are a real danger to oral health:

• Anatomical gaps: the gap between tooth and gum (sulcus) as well as the gap between the teeth (interdental/approximal space)

• Then, there are the gaps in our knowledge on the causes of diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis and peri-implantitis and the gaps on the actual consequences of these diseases and what they can lead to i.e. a heart attack, stroke and even impotence.

• Finally, there are the gaps in ability where prevention, motivation and care are concerned.

A large number of people brush their teeth dili-gently every day and some even three times a day, but caries, gingivitis and periodontitis often still occur. Anyone over the age of 50 most likely has a crown or one, two or even three implants and an increased risk of having a heart attack.

These gaps need filling and not just with any old filling material. They need the correct knowledge and the correct skills and this is where CURAPROX can help, so we can all enjoy lifelong healthy gums, healthy teeth and healthy arteries.

This is why the message is:

Individually trained oral prophylaxis – the key to keeping your teeth for a lifetimeWhat prophylaxis are you currently offering your patients and customers? Which prophy-laxis would you like to offer and what do patients and clients expect? With iTOP, you have a prophylactic approach that works in a new way, both in theory and in practice. Take advantage of iTOP’s findings to motivate patients and even yourself in the art of gentle and atraumatic brushing. Your team and you will be pleased with the results – and your patients will notice too!

THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE iTOP’s goal is to keep teeth for a lifetime and for you to pass on the necessary knowledge and training individually tailored to your patients. The criteria for choosing the right tools and techniques are the key to efficient and atraumatic prophylaxis. After iTOP, you’ll have a whole new take on your oral hygiene.

IMPORTANT FINDINGAll mechanical activities have to be learned. No matter if you are fitting implants or simply using your orthodontic tweezers perfectly, practice is needed and ideally a teacher too. A good teacher will always be up-to-date and have practised accordingly. iTOP teachers undergo at least eight days of iTOP training before becoming instructors. They also attend a minimum of one official iTOP Recall session every year.

WHAT IS MOREExperience has shown that implementing iTOP in a dental practice not only results in additional and more satisfied patients, but also has a positive effect on the working ambience.

The annual recall session backs up knowledge and skills – and provides exciting input from the practical side. Old habits are hard to break. Inaccuracies creep in. Even professional sports people still use trainers for years to perfect the basics. To work with iTOP at a high standard and maintain the level achieved, an annual recall session is offered from the Advanced Level on. iTOP users therefore not only maintain their consistently high level but even improve on it every year by going through the theory again together with a mutual exchange of experiences. Everyone needs a recall – not just patients.

3iTOP

Jiri Sedelmayer taught students at the University of Hamburg for almost two decades and then developed the iTOP method: aspiring qualified dental professionals to learn what it takes to brush one’s teeth. Theory, it’s true, but that is not nearly enough: it takes practice, practice and more practice. Participants soon realise that brushing teeth is an art that requires gentleness – and training.

Jiri Sedelmayer, iTOP founder Jiri Sedelmayer, why do people who brush particularly energetically often have bleeding gums, exposed necks of teeth and even bad breath?

“That is what is so tragic about current prophylaxis. Too often, too vigorous, with coarse tools and many of the critical spots still get missed. No brush will ever find its own way to these critical areas. No brush is traumatic by itself. It’s always up to users whether a personal care product will lead to trauma or to clean and healthy teeth and gums. Personal touch-to-teach training by a specially trained dental professional – by you – will help to put a stop to ‘too much, too often, too hard, in the wrong place’.”

What can I do for my patients personally? “We offer training sessions to all dental professionals interested in iTOP. These range from the 1-day introductory training sessions through to a 5-day teachers’ course for dental professionals who would like to instruct other dental professionals in successful oral care based on iTOP. They find out why current preventive care is not working and how it can work and why patients taught by the iTOP method are grateful for a lifetime.”

A Hydrosonic toothbrush can also clean right into the gaps thanks to its hydrodynamic effect. Its fine Curen® filaments ensure particularly gentle cleaning of the sulcus. Interview with Prof. Dr. med. dent. Ueli P. Saxer, co-developer of the Hydrosonic, at www.curaprox.com

HydrosonicSonic toothbrushes are the most efficient and convenient aids to getting teeth clean, yet considerable numbers of similar products are already on the market. Once again, the bristles are the most important feature. Incredibly soft and fine Curen® filaments are responsible for that decisive difference. While most of the bristles used for commercially available sonic toothbrushes have a diameter of 0.2 mm, the Curen® filaments on a Hydrosonic are only 0.152 mm in diameter. This makes it easy to access particularly critical areas for an incredibly gentle cleaning.

Suitable for the whole family:

CHS 100 CHS 200Sensitive

The CHS 200 sensitive brush head is ideal for newcomers to sonic toothbrushes: particularly soft and gentle but with tremendous cleaning power.

CHS 300Power

The CHS 300 power brush head provides maximum power for sonic toothbrush professionals: this power-head cleans to perfection and is also exceptionally gentle in action.

CURAPROX Hydroson-ic: For a successful start in a new era of oral healthCleaning teeth with a manual toothbrush is not as easy as it might seem. Who knows the right method? All too often, people scrub back and forth with manual toothbrushes and with far too much pressure. Damage from brushing is the result. Using a CURAPROX Hydrosonic ensures that teeth and gums are cleaned perfectly – in an exceptionally gentle and careful way.

ULTIMATE PREVENTIONThe new CURAPROX Hydrosonic toothbrush is designed for daily oral hygiene. The Curen® bristles of the hydro-power brush head and 45° ergonomics provide enhanced in-depth cleaning – even in hidden crevices, along the gum line, in any periodontal pockets and between the teeth.

CHILDREN AND TEENAGERSTo ensure that teeth are properly cleaned from the very start, a CURAPROX Hydrosonic is also recommended for young teeth from the age of four.

FOR IMPLANTS AND BRACESWearers of implants or braces, in particular, benefit from the cleaning power of a CURAPROX Hydrosonic. Anyone wearing an implant or a brace needs to pay even greater attention to oral hygiene. There are a large number of additional crevices that need careful cleaning. A CURAPROX Hydrosonic is an ideal tool for this.

Developed with Prof. Dr. med. dent. Ulrich P. Saxer

CS toothbrushesPlaque’s toughest enemy is the gentleness of Curen® bristles: CS toothbrushes really are incredibly gentle. The 5,460 Curen® filaments of the CS 5460 ultra soft thus form an uncommonly dense and efficient cleaning surface. While they are gentle on gums and teeth, Curen® filaments are extremely hard on plaque. Anyone who tries a CS toothbrush will never want to do without this brushing experience again.

11Toothbrushes

CURAPROX CS toothbrushes break up and remove plaque more thoroughly – thanks to the extremely dense bristles.

Ultrafine Curen® filaments make all the difference CURAPROX toothbrushes not only prevent brushing damage, but also break up and remove plaque perfectly.Curen® bristles are stiffer than nylon and remain just as stable in the mouth as when they are dry. These properties make it possible to produce toothbrushes with a large number of ultrafine bristles.

Normal brushes with approx. 500-800 bristles result in a large amount of plaque being left on the teeth between the individual bristles.

The bristles on most toothbrushes are too hard to clean the critical crevices without using excessive pressure. However, too much pressure inevitably leads to the well-known devastating brushing damage and is the main cause of exposed tooth necks.

Using the solo technique, trained patients clean tooth by tooth as well as the gum line with extreme precision.

Jiri Sedelmayer’s solo technique of teeth cleaning is described in the periodontology atlas (Color Atlas of Dental Medicine 1: Periodontology; page 229).

The solo technique – for fans and connois-seurs of perfect teeth cleaning Prophylaxis professional Jiri Sedelmayer developed this cleaning method, the solo technique as it is known, and CURAPROX designed a single-tuft brush for it: not just with Curen® filaments, but with a beautifully rounded bristle tuft. Why? Well, it means that the filaments adapt wonderfully to the anatomy of the gum line.

CS 1006single 6mm

Developed for the solo technique according to Jiri Sedelmayer, it is the perfect brush for expert users. Trim length 6 mm.

Single-tuft brush Is that really a toothbrush? Yes, and how! It’s impossible to brush your teeth any better: tooth by tooth, the gum line is cleaned perfectly with-out any harm to the gums. Recommended in particular for braces and implants or simply for the joy of perfect teeth brushing.

One tuft, two applicationsA toothbrush with only one tuft? Yes, firstly, since the difficult areas around brackets need special cleaning. Secondly, the gum line around implants needs particular care. The CS 1009 Single is ideal for this job with a single, beautifully rounded bristle tuft to adapt wonderfully to the contours of the gum line.

Particularly suitable for the care of braces, isolated or poorly positioned teeth, implants and bridges. Trim length 9 mm. Curen® filaments, 0.15 mm in diameter. The CS 1006 can also be used to clean braces or implants as an alternative.

Ortho- and implant brushesFixed braces make high demands on care. Brackets and wires also need perfect, regular cleaning. The CS 5460 ortho and the single-tuft brush, CS 1009 single, are ideal for the job. This single-tuft brush with its slightly longer bristles also makes it easy to clean the sulcus around an implant.

Simply no more pressure ROUND HANDLE WITHOUT A THUMB DEPRESSIONThe strength of the thumb is what causes the pressure when the toothbrush is held in a fist. This is why an ATA has no thumb depression at all (like almost all our toothbrushes, by the way). Instead, its handle is round: the thumb cannot grip anywhere and the user is motivated to hold it with the fingers: pressure is reduced to a minimum. This makes an ATA the ideal learning toothbrush and an intermediate step on the way to the solo technique with a CS 1006 single.

REVERSED, PARTICULARLY SMALL HEADAnother little trick with great effect was to make the head very small and even turn it round. This is how an ATA motivates users to clean precisely and carefully. This is because the smaller the head, the more precise the cleaning: tooth by tooth. And the more careful the brush movements – the smaller the risk of exerting too much pressure. This is the way to learn the tooth-by-tooth cleaning method almost automatically.

ATAThis toothbrush is quite simply a stroke of luck for people with tooth cleaning damage: using pressure to brush the teeth is almost impossible. Why? Its round handle has no thumb depression and motivates users to grip with their fingers. This helps to keep pressure to a minimum and makes an ATA the ideal learning toothbrush in the transition from a CS 5460 ultra soft to a CS single: the technique of brushing each tooth individually is trained just as much as using soft bristles without any pressure.

Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) is found in most toothpastes. However, this foaming tenside can promote the formation of mouth ulcers and irritation of the oral mucosa. Enzycal toothpastes are SLS-free. Moreover: the enzymes in Enzycal support the saliva’s antibacterial effect.

Mild is now really strong: cleans without injuring and strengthens with enzymes.Everything that might possibly be harmful has been eliminated. Instead, Enzycal toothpastes support the saliva’s protective function and contain no aggressive substances. The aggressive foaming agent, sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) found in most toothpastes has been replaced by a neutral one. Essential oils such as menthol have been reduced to a minimum and we have eliminated them altogether in the Zero version. Even the RDA is low. In contrast, Enzycal has the lactoperoxidase system with three enzymes that are already present in saliva – a miracle fluid in oral hygiene that can even repair dental enamel. This saliva with its protective and repair functions is further boosted by the lactoperoxidase system – which also prevents mouth dryness. Enzycal thus ensures healthy teeth, gums and oral mucosa. It also tastes just as mild as it actually is – so mild that it even helps combat mouth ulcers.

Enzycal enzymes boost oral defenceSaliva’s bacteriostatic effect is an important factor in the oral defence mechanism. Enzycal’s unique enzyme combination boosts the effect of fluorides. Another decisive benefit: these enzymes stabilise and substantially strengthen the antibacterial and remineralising functions of saliva.

HOW DOES ENZYCAL RESTRICT PLAQUE FORMATION AND BACTERIAL GROWTH?The enzyme amyloglucosidase breaks down the glucans (starches, e.g. in the plaque matrix). It also boosts the effect of the enzyme lactoperox-idase in the saliva. As a reaction, hypothiocyan-ite ions are formed from thiocyanate ions and hydrogen peroxide and these have superb bacteriostatic properties.

The three enzymes in Enzycal give this lactoperoxidase system additional support and bacterial growth is naturally restricted.

ENZYME 1 = AMYLOGLUCOSIDASE Changes polyglucans (plaque matrix) into glucose

ENZYME 2 = GLUCOSEOXIDASE Changes glucose in competition with the plaque bacteria into gluconate, thereby reducing the spread of bacteria. Gluconate + H2O2

ENZYME 3 = LACTOPEROXIDASE with thiocyanate: The H2O2 from the glucose transformation reacts with thiocyanate to become hypothiocy-anate, a naturally occurring antibacterial substance in saliva.

The result: Bacterial growth is naturally restricted and the natural balance of the oral flora is strengthened – less plaque, less tartar, improved oral health.

No SLS: gentle on the oral mucosa – and it even reduces mouth ulcers significantlyIn contrast to almost all toothpastes, Enzycal does not contain any sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). SLS is a highly active foaming agent used primarily in household detergents, shampoo and shower gels. In industrial applications, it is used to clean garage floors or to degrease machinery because of its aggressive properties.

SLS attacks the cells of the oral mucosa. This leads to irritation and injuries proven to promote painful mouth ulcers.

There is a risk of SLS entering the body through the oral mucosa. Whether SLS is harmful to health is still cause for discussion but has not yet been proved. It is nevertheless surprising that SLS is found in almost all toothpastes.

Enzycal is completely SLS-free. Your benefit: significantly fewer ulcers. No controversial substances that can even enter the body. In short: Enzycal guarantees natural and long-lasting dental care.

CPS primeIdeal for primary prophylaxis: CPS prime are the finest little brushes on the market with unsurpassed durability. A CPS 06 prime is the smallest interdental brush of all and also fits into very narrow spaces. The click system means that your personal, favourite holders can be used – to prevent caries in the side teeth, gingivitis and periodontitis particularly easily and effectively. The quality of CPS prime makes a single cleaning movement sufficient: once in and out. Done.

Accessibility in millimetres: extremely fine Cural® wire enables users to clean even the smallest of interdental spaces.

Effectiveness in millimetres: the particularly fine, long bristles expand to fill the gaps between the teeth, cleaning effectively and gently thanks to this umbrella effect.

ULTRAFINE BRISTLES WITH THE UMBRELLA EFFECT Fine bristles with excellent tension reach all the critical areas between the teeth. They expand to fill the gaps between the teeth, cleaning effectively and gently thanks to this umbrella effect.

PATENTED SURGICAL WIRE FOR THE SMALLEST OF GAPSExclusive to CURAPROX: Cural® surgical wire is extremely fine and stiff – which explains the superb quality and fineness of CURAPROX CPS prime and their high durability. It is also nickel-free, making it ideal for allergy-sufferers.

HIGH DURABILITYThe conical design of the fine wire core prevents premature breakage and also extends service life.

Why interdental brushes?Because otherwise one third of a tooth’s surface does not get brushed. Toothbrushes clean the outsides, insides and tops of the teeth. But what about the sides of the teeth and the gum line between the teeth? They cannot be reached by toothbrushes alone.

The critical areas are inaccessible, not only for toothbrushes, but usually even for dental floss. Dental floss stretches over these concave areas that need cleaning. However, dental floss can be highly suitable for the front teeth.

Interdental brushes with bristles that are too short fail to fill the space effectively and therefore they have little or no effect. Gum inflammation takes its course – and can turn into periodontitis. Tooth loss becomes inevitable.

Just right: A Curaprox CPS prime fills the gap between the teeth completely, removing plaque from all the critical niches and the gum line – gently and effectively each and every time.

Using a CPS interdental brush

1. Place the CPS prime at the point where the interdental gap begins, tilt the tip at an angle to the centreline of the teeth and push it in gently at the correct angle as far as the centre of the teeth.

2. Without pushing the brush in any further, hold the handle at 90° to the teeth.

3. Push the brush carefully through and then pull it out – job done! – with the quality of CPS prime, it’s sufficient to use it just once a day.

Never force interdental brushes between the teeth. Improper use can damage your gums.

CPS regularCPS regular are mainly recommended for secondary prevention with open interdental spaces: especially for fillings, crowns, bridges and particularly stubborn plaque. Side pressure is possible from size 15 upwards.

CPS soft implantGaps are much wider than usual after periodontal treatment and implants. CPS soft implant brushes are designed to clean large gaps gently: thanks to their finer and longer bristles, they are well suited to this task.

CPS strong & implantThe stronger CPS strong & implant versions are ideal for the special requirements with implants and bridges. They are particularly effective for use with side pressure when bent into a crescent shape.

Interdental brushes for implant careThese interdental brushes have a unique bristle diameter that makes cleaning very safe and effective after interventions. The bristles are exceptionally soft and rounded. The Cural® wire is plastic-coated. Your dentist recom-mends you the correct size. CPS soft implant are also recommended for the areas beneath the implant bars.

Space-filling – this is decisiveMeasuring is the basis for success: an interdental brush will only simultaneously clean the concave surfaces, the interdental sulcus and the problem area below the contact point if it fills the interdental space properly.

THE SYSTEMWorking systematically not only saves time but is a reflection of total professionalism:

1. You determine the size of your patient’s interdental spaces using the IAP probe and select the corresponding CRA prime interdental brush for the handpiece.

2. A CRA prime is then fitted to a green handpiece. Using slow rotation or none at all, you clean the interdental spaces or apply paste or CURASEPT ADS® 1% periodontal gel.

3. Thanks to colour-coding and an IAC chart, you can give your patients the correct CPS prime for interdental care at home.

IAP probe and IAC chart It’s easy to determine the correct interdental brush – and so fast and safe: you measure the interdental space with the patented IAP probe. You instruct and motivate your patients using the IAC chart. This system is absolutely unique – and provides you and your patients with confidence.

CRA primeInterdental brushes for the handpiece are time-saving, easy and thorough: a CRA prime can be used with or without rotation, prophylactic paste, water or light. A CRA prime cleans the gum line and the concave surfaces as well as below the contact point – with or without rotation, slowly and gently.

CRA regularEven ideally suited to palatal, lingual and distal use. This is perfect interdental cleaning, fast and pleasant.

Fast: up to 15% time savings

Convenient: Pleasant for patients – easy handling for you

Accurate: For professional cleaning even where it’s narrow

Systematic varietyUltrafine CRA interdental brushes for the handpiece simplify and improve the way you work.

Make use of the tool’s versatility: with a light, with a spray, with or without rotation – with or without polishing paste. Fast, convenient and accurate – simply attach to the green handpiece.Even better: thanks to colour-coding, you can give your patients the correct size of interden-tal brush to take home with them.

N.B. Cannot be autoclaved. Stability is increased by clockwise rotation (200-400 revolutions).

Ortho kitEasy and a pleasure – that is brushing your teeth with CURAPROX. To make sure that this also applies when braces make brushing difficult, CURAPROX has put together an Ortho kit: it contains everything needed to simplify – and truly improve – cleaning teeth and braces.

Implant KitYou fit top quality implants. You work carefully and prudently, with maximum attention and precision. Obviously, you don’t want this good work to go to waste: you want to recommend proper implant care to your pa-tients. The Implant kit contains everything that is needed; plus a customer brochure that explains comprehensibly why the care of an implant is so important – and so easy with CURAPROX products. Your patients will be pleased with your work for a long time and you will be, too.

Systematic care: toothbrush, single-tuft brush, interdental brushes and dental floss

Simple and effective: all-in-one in the Ortho kit

Practical: a Pocket set is included for travel use

System: all-in-one solution, perfect as a “starter kit” to look after a new implant.

Simple and effective: these tools clean the many critical areas around implants exceptionally well – and are gentle and particularly easy to use.

Advisory skills: teach your patients how to clean their implant effectively. Create the best conditions for perfectly protecting the implant for a long service life.

Dental floss does not help everywhere. For example, it stretches quite ineffectively over molar concavities. Check where dental floss is good and where interdental brushes are better – and easier to use.

Range: Global innovation: elastic microfiber dental floss for implant care: the implant-saver | dental floss, waxed and mint-flavoured | textured floss, thick and extra thick, with a double threader | dental tape with teflon coating | dental floss and toothpick in one

Dental floss

38

Dental flossThe front teeth, especially the lower ones, are often very close together. So close that not even our CPS prime 06 interdental brush can be used. In these cases, dental floss is perfect. Our range has a large selection of dental floss for the teeth as well as for implants.

DF 834dental floss

Waxed dental floss with mint flavour, 50 m. The dental floss slips perfectly through the point of contact between the teeth.

DF 820PTFE dental tape

Slides particularly easily through the contact point thanks to its PTFE-coating. Extra tear-resistant. 35 m.

DF 967 flosspic

Dental floss and toothpick in one: DF flosspic is particular-ly easy to use and ideal when travelling. Ergonomic design. Pack of 30.

The loop techniqueTake a piece of dental floss about 50 cm long, bring the two ends together and knot it twice. The aim is to form a loop that stretches fairly closely over four fingers. If the loop is too large, the dental floss is difficult to handle.

There should only be a minimum distance between thumb and forefinger because it is the only way to control the dental floss safely and easily without it cutting into the gums. Now, with this minimum distance, you can handle the dental floss easily and safely.

39Dental floss

Dental floss for implants and bracesAn implant looks like a natural tooth. But people often forget that implants require special care. In contrast, braces make maintenance more difficult, and therefore they also need special attention. Floss can be an excellent solution.

DF 846implant-saver

The elastic microfibre-floss implant-saver cleans the particularly critical areas of implants: thread it around the implant along the gums and slowly pull it through with alternating tensioning and relaxing movements.

DF 845implant & braces

For cleaning dentures and orthodontic devices. Thick fleecy thread with threader at both ends. Particularly practical: threaders are not softened by saliva and thus remain strong without swelling up. 25 cm. 50 fleecy threads, threaders at both ends.

There’s CHX. And there’s CHX that patients actu-ally use: Curasept ADS® tastes pleasant, is effec-tive and does not cause discoloration. New – also with HA and PVP/VA.

Range: Curasept ADS® has a system: mouth rinses in three strengths | ADS® toothpastes with CHX for the long-term effect of CHX treatment | Two ADS® gels with 0.5% CHX and 1% CHX for exact, long-lasting application | A 5-litre canister for use in dental practices | New: Curasept ADS® with PVP/VA and hyaluronic acid and only 0.09% CHX, in two versions

Curasept ADS®

Curasept ADS® is not available in all countries.

42

Curasept ADS®

This is a fully effective CHX oral rinse that keeps side-effects to an absolute minimum thanks to the Anti-Discoloration System ADS®: hardly any brown discoloration and absolutely minimum impairment of the sense of taste – with full CHX effect. Randomised double- and even triple-blind studies on Curasept ADS® confirm the effectiveness both of CHX as well as of the Anti-Discoloration System ADS®. These studies are impressively confirmed in day-to-day practice: more than a thousand professionals in Swiss dental and dental hygiene practices prescribe Curasept ADS® for their patients.

Fully effective CHX

Minimum brown discoloration at most

Minimum changes in taste at most

No alcohol: virtually no irritation of the oral mucosa

Extremely high compliance

No follow-up treatment necessary

ADS® 2050,05% CHX + 0,05% F / 200 ml

Thanks to 0.05% chlorhexidine-digluconate and 0.05% sodium fluoride, it is ideal for continuous use, e.g. with braces and orthodon-tic devices. Extremely high degree of compliance thanks to Anti-Discoloration System ADS®.

ADS® 2120,12% CHX / 200 ml

Perfectly suited for use by people with orthodontic devices, implants and gum problems thanks to 0.12% chlorhexidine-di-gluconate. Can be used for more than two months. Extremely high degree of compliance thanks to Anti-Discoloration System ADS®.

ADS® 2200,20% CHX / 200 ml

Ideal for intensive application before and after operations in the mouth thanks to 0.20% chlorhexidine-digluconate. Extremely high degree of compliance thanks to Anti-Discolora-tion System ADS®.

43Curasept ADS

Wherever it says ADS®, CHX is at workCurasept ADS – CHX without any side-effects “Chlorhexidine with ADS is as efficient in reducing the signs of gum inflammation, in comparison to a mouthwash exclusively with chlorhexidine.”

Cortellini (2008) in a cross-over, randomised, triple-blind, single-centre clinical trial:CORTELLINI P, PINI PRATO G, TONETTI M et al. Chlorhexidine with an Anti-Discoloration System after periodontal flap surgery: a cross-over, randomised, triple-blind clinical trial. J Clin Periodontol 2008; 35: 614-620.

“Plaque and gingival index have shown a similar trend, both with a traditional mouth-wash with chlorhexidine and with a mouth-wash with chlorhexidine+ADS”. Basso (2008) in a randomised, cross-over, double-blind, controlled Italian study: BASSO et al. A modified mouthwash, to reduce the discolora-tion caused by chlorhexidine. Dental Cadmos, set 76(7), 2008.

“After a fortnight, no remarkable differences were found between a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine only and another one with chlorhexidine+ADS, as for Plaque Index and Gingival Index”.Bernardi (2004) in a randomised, cross-over, double-blind, controlled international study. BERNARDI F, PINCELLI MR, CARLONI S et al. Chlorhexidine with an Anti-Discoloration System. A comparative study. Intl. J Dent. Hyg. 2004; 2:122-6.

Optimised long-term CHX effectChlorhexidine has excellent antibacterial properties plus very high substantivity, which means that it remains where it is supposed to work for a long time. This explains the long-term effect of chlorhexidine. Nevertheless, it still makes sense to back up this long-term effect. This is why there is a matching toothpaste that also contains chlorhexidine and with ADS® – and is free from sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS): SLS affects how CHX works. SLS is a controversial foaming agent found in almost all toothpastes. CURAPROX is entirely free of SLS.

ADS® 7050,05% CHX + 0,05% F / 75ml

For daily use. With 0.05% chlorhexidine-digluconate and 0.05% sodium fluoride.

ADS® 7120,12% CHX / 75ml

Contains 0.12% chlorhex-idine-digluconate. Recommended in combina-tion with Curasept ADS® 220.

ADS® 3500,50% CHX / 30ml

For intensive care under dentures, for implants, periodontitis, fixed dental prostheses.

Ideal for use in dental practices

ADS® 5020 0.20% CHX / 5000ml

5-litre bottle with 0.2% CHX for use in dental practices. Each 5-litre canister is supplied with a pump.

ADS® 050 Spray 0.50% CHX / 30ml

Anti-plaque spray with 0.50% chlorhexidine-diglu-conate. Can be sprayed simply and precisely on the area to be treated. Ideal for use when on the go.

N.B. SLS affects all CHXs. Recommend SLS-free toothpastes such as CURAPROX Enzycal or CHX toothpastes by Curasept ADS®.

Contains no alcohol

Curasept HAP 2120.12% PVP-VA/hyaluronic acid / 0.09% CHX/200 ml

LONG-TERM USECan be used for recurrent gingivitis, bleeding gums, receding gums, injuries to the oral mucosa or following deep-scaling. Suitable for the treatment and prevention of gum inflam-mation, even when acute, and for the selective treatment of periodontal pockets. Can be used for 4-6 weeks. Thanks to the PVP/VA copolymer and hyaluronic acid, it forms a protective film and supports regeneration. Contains 0.09% CHX, without alcohol. High compliance thanks to the tried-and-tested ADS Anti-Discoloration System.

Curasept HAP 2200.20% PVP-VA/hyaluronic acid /0.09% CHX/200 ml

INTENSIVE USECan be used after complex tooth extractions, after fitting tooth implants, during bone regeneration procedures or in cases of gingivitis and periodontitis and to protect wounds and ulcers of the oral mucosa. Thanks to the PVP/VA copolymer and hyaluronic acid, it forms a protective film and supports regeneration. Contains 0.09% CHX, without alcohol. High compliance thanks to the tried-and-tested ADS Anti-Discoloration System.

Curasept HAP is not available in all countries.

45Curasept ADS

Hyaluronic acidComponent of connective tissue and the extracellular matrix.

MECHANICAL EFFECT Thanks to an excellent molecular weight ratio, it forms a protective film on the mucosa and gums, which moistens the top layers of tissue with purely mechanical action – the first step to regeneration.

RAPID HEALING PROCESS Facilitates cell migration and proliferation, promotes the formation and stabilization of granulation tissue, fights inflammatory processes, and thereby accelerates re-epitheli-alization.

TRIPLE PROTECTION EFFECT Protects mechanically from irritants or food, protects surgical wounds from harmful microorganisms and thus reduces the risk of infections; protects titanium implants, membranes and bone implants.

PVP-VA(Polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate)

The copolymer with a film-forming effect – the result of the latest research.

The copolymer with muco-adhesive properties forms a protective film over the mucosa, gums and teeth.

The mechanical protective effect prevents the accumulation of plaque-forming bacteria and thus slows their accumulation and plaque development.

No undesirable side-effects, safe even at very high daily dose.

CURAPROX BDCThe cleaning solutions, brushes and denture bath in the CURAPROX BDC – Biological Denture Care – range are perfectly matched. This oral care system makes it easy to give top-quality dentures the top-quality treatment they deserve. After all, dentures require just as much care as natural teeth did before them. Clean them daily, disinfect them weekly – and oral mucosa and gums will remain healthy and well supplied with blood. CURAPROX BDC is also ideally suited to the care of removable braces.

There are more than enough chemicals: CURAPROX BDC cares naturally

BDC 110 BlueBDC 111 MintThis practical cleaning box makes cleaning prostheses easy thanks to its practical drainer. Suitable for the intensive cleaning of partial and total prostheses and orthodontic devices.

49Care of dentures and braces

Really clean and like new for a long timeCURAPROX BDC products ensure that prostheses are naturally rather than chemically clean. Based on oxygen disinfection, conven-tional denture cleaners attack the plastic in prostheses: the surface becomes porous, and bacterial toxins and fungal spores easily gain a hold. In contrast, CURAPROX BDC relies on natural cleaning power: citric acid removes disease-causing plaque reliably and is easy on the plastic used for prostheses. The prosthesis will remain like new for years.

CITRIC ACIDDissolves disease-causing deposits (plaque) yet goes easy on plastic prostheses.

EUCALYPTUS OIL Provides a pleasant feeling of freshness. A microfine film of oil seals the surface of dentures. Dentures look like new for years.

SEA SALT Stabilises and boosts the effect of citric acid.

An Omega spiral brush cleans previously inaccessible crevices in difficult inner surfaces.

Robust bristles clean the outer surface of the dentures.

Easy to grip thanks to its ergonomic handle.

BDC 190 setThe care set in the beauty bag contains: BDC 100 daily, BDC 105 weekly concentrate, BDC box, BDC brush and a CS 5460 ultra soft toothbrush for a particularly gentle gum massage.

BDC 150 whiteBDC 152 mintThe patented denture brush eliminates bacterial coatings and soiling. All areas are cleaned perfectly using the two sets of bristles.

Based on oxygen disinfection, conventional denture cleaners often cause micro cracks in prostheses and braces: bacteria and fungal spores easily gain a hold. CURAPROX BDC prevents these micro cracks.

Pacifiers often lead to tooth misalignment and lengthy corrective procedures are the result. Misalignment can also affect breathing and con-centration. A CURAPROX pacifier is designed to avoid tooth misalignment.

Range: The teething ring prepares babies for their first toothbrush with a playful approach | The pacifier helps avoid tooth misalignment

Pacifier and teething ring

52

Medical pacifier There is no better way to avoid subsequent complications such as a cross bite, forced bite or a retrusive occlusion – unless you dispense with a pacifier entirely. The special shape of a CURAPROX pacifier ensures that you can allow your child to suck in safety.Developed by orthodontist Dr. Herbert Pick.

The side wings prevent pressure on the roof of the mouth – and thus hinder the development of a cross bite

Made of pure silicone, the shield sticks out from the lower jaw. This supports the natural development of the lip muscles and the lower jaw – avoiding a retrusive occlusion

The silicone used to make a CURAPROX pacifier is of particular-ly high quality. Super-soft – and with a particularly soft raised edging to prevent injury

The air holes ensure ideal ventilation for the skin – thus protecting against irritation and eczema

Conventional pacifiers often lead to misalign-ment and …… deformation of the jaw: they exert strong pressure on the palate. This pressure is even reinforced by the vacuum created when sucking. With a CURAPROX pacifier, the palate develops free from pressure. Using a CURAPROX pacifier means it is not possible to create a vacuum.

It is precisely this pressure that causes malocclusions and jaw deformation.

Sucking that is free of any pressure: the best prerequisite for the ideal and natural development of jaw and teeth.

“My son was a keen pacifier user and developed a cross bite. Incentive enough for me to develop this pacifier.”

Teething ringA CURAPROX teething ring with learning toothbrush and rattle relieves the discomfort and pain of teething without analgesia. Its orally tactile, visual and acoustic stimuli promote the development of a baby’s innate curiosity from as early as the 2nd month on. This massage and learning toothbrush prepares infants for the corresponding CURAkid toothbrush. Developed at the University of Berne in cooperation with Dr. med. dent. Nadia-Marina Kellerhoff.

Rattle with coloured balls

Pacifier, teething ring, toothbrush Healthy teeth – right from the start. Our patented pacifier helps prevent the malocclu-sions and jaw deformation caused by standard pacifiers. Our teething ring even has an integral rattle and massage toothbrush. This helps during teething – and prepares babies ideally for their first toothbrush. Our CURAkid toothbrush is ultra soft and exceptionally gentle. It is recommended from the moment the first tooth appears. This is effective preventive care right from the start.

Tongue cleanersBad breath cannot be simply rinsed away with mouthwash or chewed away with chewing gum. Only interdental care and a tongue cleaner will help. Bacteria that cause bad breath lurk on the tongue, well hidden in the tongue fissures. The tongue cleaner quickly eliminates them.

CTC 201Tongue cleanerSingle-bladed

CTC 202Tongue cleanerDouble-bladed

Bad breath comes from bacterial coatings on the tongue, in the tongue fissures, as well in the interdental spaces. The CTC tongue cleaner is amazingly successful. Its anatomically correct shape reduces nausea and its effect can be seen and smelled. Success from the first time you use it.

PCA 223Plaquefinder

Disclosing tablets reveal places where plaque remains, clearly showing where extra brushing is needed. Chew a disclosing tablet for approx. 30 seconds, old structured plaque will show as blue and newly-formed plaque as red. Erythrosine-free (E127).
