MECTRON - Prophylaxis

Powders with different compositions, particle sizes and applications are available on the market.
The choice depends on the operator’s preference, the type of deposit and the medical contraindications.

PROPHYLAXIS POWDER SMOOTH

The new calcium carbonate powder has been specially designed to gently remove supragingival biofilm while respecting the surrounding tissues. It cleans the teeth to a shiny finish, while avoiding enamel damage. The spherical shape of its particles, which have a size between 45 and 75 μm, allows a better access to the areas difficult to reach. Thanks to its composition it reduces the oral pH acidity and the aerosol effect avoiding the risk of device clogging. PROPHYLAXIS POWDER SMOOTH is sodium and silicon (SI) free, so particularly recommended to treat patients maintaining a salt-free diet and suffering from hypertension and renal insufficiency.
