The Curaprox range is set to see the return of Curasept gel. Containing 0.5% of the antimicrobial chlorhexidine (CHX), the gel is easy to use with no patient compliance issues.

Apply directly to the periodontal pocket, or let the patient do so using a cotton bud or interdental brush. Also available is Curasept mouthwash, which like the gel is alcohol-free, putting patient minds at ease about the reported link between alcohol mouthwashes and oral cancer.

The range includes ADS205, a non-staining daily fluoride and CHX rinse, ADS220, a rinse for short-term use that contains 0.2% CHX, and gel toothpaste ADS705, for long-term daily use. All Curasept toothpastes are free from sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), which nullifies the beneficial effects of CHX.
