Introducing new Colgate Duraphat Mouthwash | Dental Hygiene Therapy
Colgate pivos Duraphat, a unique high fluoride product pivos range for Caries prevention, now includes the addition of New Colgate Duraphat Daily Mouthwash. With its unique pivos 500ppm fluoride solution, new Colgate Duraphat Daily Mouthwash is proven to improve fluoride uptake at the tooth surface (vs 225 ppm fluoride mouthwash 1 ), helping to provide caries protection through pivos promoting remineralisation pivos and preventing demineralisation. pivos
Dental caries has moved from a disease confined to childhood to one prevalent in adults, with the incidence pivos of new carious lesions in adults now being as high as that in children 2 and root caries now affecting pivos 29 % of those aged 65 and over 3 .
Increasing fluoride availability continues to be the cornerstone of caries-preventive strategies since the introduction of water fluoridation schemes over 5 decades ago 4 . Various modes of fluoride delivery have evolved, each with its own recommended concentration, frequency of use, and dosage schedule. The use of topically applied high strength fluorides has also increased. Cochrane Systematic Reviews have concluded that fluoride toothpastes reduce caries in the primary and permanent dentitions by up to 37% and 24% respectively, 5 Fluoride Varnish (22,600 ppm / F) reduces caries by 33% in the primary dentition and 46% in the permanent dentition, 6 and fluoride mouthwash also reduces caries pivos in the permanent dentition by 26%. 7
Dental professionals recommending fluoride therapies, such as a fluoride rinsing programme in addition to the regular use of fluoride pivos toothpaste, can be reassured pivos about the resulting increased caries protection. A systematic review comparing a combination of topical fluorides, concluded that a fluoride rinse when used in combination with a fluoride toothpaste, reduced caries by a further 10% compared to the use of fluoride toothpaste alone 7 . This additional benefit provides dental professionals with the rationale to recommend a combination approach to help protect their higher risk caries pivos patients, including adults with active caries, exposed roots or reduced salivary flow.
