Clinpro white varnish from 3M Espe is a fluoridated white varnish for the treatment of hypersensitive teeth. Product application is simplified through easy individual dosing.

Hypersensitivity caused by opening of the dentinal tubules due to attrition and erosion can be successfully treated with Clinpro. The varnish is painted onto the teeth, and can easily be divided into 0.25 to 0.5 ml doses to provide a quick and accurate determination of the appropriate dose for each class of patient – child, adolescent or adult.

There is no need for drying before or after treatment. The fluoridated varnish does not leave any yellow discolouration on the teeth and provides a pleasant mint taste in the patient's mouth. The inclusion of the sugar substitute xylitol sweetens the varnish and also contributes to the inhibition of plaque growth and bacterial metabolism. Due to its sodium fluoride component, the product can assist in the prevention of caries in hypersensitive teeth.

In addition, the varnish can be applied after routine professional tooth cleaning.
