Palatable and non-staining

Curasept Gel is back, and dental professionals attending the BDTA Dental Showcase 2009 are invited to explore the entire range from Curaprox. Providing a targeted application of 0.5% chlorhexidine, Curasept Gel easy to apply without patient compliance issues. Patients can even apply it themselves at home.

Delegates visiting stand P01 can enquire about the entire chlorhexidine range, including but by no means limited to alcohol-free ADS205, a non-staining fluoride and chlorhexidine rinse that is intended for daily use (0.05% fluoride and 0.05% chlorhexidine).

Also on display will be ADS705 gel toothpaste, also suitable for daily use. Free from sodium lauryl sulphate, ADS705 does not nullify the effects of chlorhexidine and is palatable and non-staining. With 0.2% chlorhexidine it is intended for short-term use. Delegates should also ask about Enzycal, also free from sodium lauryl sulphate and featuring non-irritant steareth-30, perfect for patients presenting with aphthous ulcers, and the Curaprox portfolio of interdental brushes, toothbrushes and handy travel sets.
