Ivoclar Vivadent recently introduced Cervitec Gel.
The gel contains chlorhexidine, fluoride, xylitol and provitamin D-panthenol and helps to keep teeth, gums, peri-implant tissue and the oral mucous membrane in good health.
Chlorhexidine reduces the growth of bacterial plaque, according to a press release. The number of harmful germs in the mouth decreases and inflammations subside, leading to fresher breath. Fluoride strengthens natural teeth, while provitamin D-panthenol and xylitol moisturize and condition the gums and mucous membrane.
The gel helps in the treatment of gingivitis, mucositis, denture stomatitis, periodontitis, peri-implantitis and in case of elevated bacteria counts. Depending on the situation, the gel can be dispensed directly on the oral mucosa or on removable dentures using an interdental brush. Patients also can use the gel to brush their teeth instead of toothpaste. Because of its smooth consistency, the gel can be optimally distributed on intricate surfaces.
Cervitec Gel is suitable for in-office and at-home use. It supplements the effect of the professionally applied protective varnishes Cervitec Plus and Cervitec F. It has a mild taste and is available in tubes of 20 g and 50 g.
