Positive effect on tissue from Dentomycin

As a result of a recent survey carried out by Dentomycin, a new easier-to-use applicator has been designed. The new applicator delivers the Dentomycin gel direct into the periodontal pocket with a minimum of wastage.

Blackwall Supplies Ltd claims the active ingredient of Dentomycin, minocycline, binds to tooth surfaces and is slowly released over time to provide a simple adjunctive treatment. They also claim that it has a broad-spectrum antibacterial action, which is particularly effective against the key periodontal pathogens.

Dentomycin can also produce a positive effect on tissue and bone regeneration by inhibiting destructive collagenases, exerting a positive anti-inflammatory action, conditioning the root surface and promoting connective tissue attachment.

Salvisol E D T A from Dental Life Sciences

Dental Life Sciences Ltd is pleased to launch Salvisol ethylene diamine tetratetic acid (E D T A). Salvisol mouth rinse is a final rinse solution in root canal therapy developed, by Pierre Rolland.

Dental Life Sciences Ltd claims Salvisol combines the known efficacy of E D T A with proprietary surfactants. Studies have shown that rinsing with Salvisol removes 5 times as much debris as irrigating with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite followed by distilled water.

A three-minute final rinse with Salvisol is 14 times more effective at removing the smear layer than sodium hypochlorite solution alone.

Salvisol E D T A is presented in a 250ml bottle. For further information call Dental Life Sciences Ltd on 0800 0683384.
