Origin SmartCrown The Only Cavity Fighting Crown In Dentistry 2
Make the Decision Now to Improve Your Oral Health for the Next Decade. Fluoride is the only compound recognized by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention of dental cavities. The Origin SmartCrown is the only crown that constantly releases fluoride which restores and protects your teeth. 3
The Most Difficult Area To Clean Teeth Contact Area Interproximal Caries occur most often directly below the contact area of the teeth, the most difficult area to clean, where caries-causing bacteria lives. 4
What Is The Origin SmartCrown? Origin SmartCrowns & Bridges have caries inhibiting and remineralizing material applied on the areas of the crown that come into contact with the adjacent teeth. Due to it s fluoride releasing and recharging feature, the SmartCrown has interproximal caries inhibiting capabilities for the adjacent teeth. 5
Caries Inhibition Effect When Adjacent to Fluoride Releasing Materials Microradiographic images (50x) and corresponding mineral profiles of three specimens cut from the same tooth. Mineral profiles were determined at 0.5 and 1.0 mm from the material margin. In the study 1 referenced above, the effectiveness of the fluoride releasing materials (RLC & RLP) to remineralize a tooth s enamel is highlighted with the yellow dashed lines compared to the normal demineralization that occurs uninhibited by the non-fluoridated composite material (ZSG) marked in red. This demonstrates the ability of fluoride infused glass-ionomers to restore layers of protection to prevent tooth decay. 1.

BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus For SmartCrown With Fluoride BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus is the next step in the evolution of restorative materials, combining the delivery of a flowable and the strength, durability, and aesthetics equal to or better than leading hybrid composites. BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus is approved for every classification including the occlusal surface and proximal margins. With improved handling, stackability, and a non-sticky consistency, posterior restorations have never been easier. Moreover, the ability of BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus to release and recharge fluoride and resistance to bacterial colonization makes it ideal for patients with a high caries index, or as a glass ionomer alternative. Surface Pre-Reacted Glass (S-PRG) ionomer technology proven by independent clinical trials as published in JADA* Aesthetics & durability that permit use in all classifications High radiopacity that permits viewing and maintenance of treated sites Sustained fluoride release and rechargability Anti-plaque effect that resists bacterial adhesion on the material surface F- Ca2+ PO 4 3- Compressive Strength (MPa) 355 350 345 340 335 330 325 320 BFF Plus F0 0 BFF Plus F0 3 TPH3 Herculite Premise Te tric Ve nus Toothbrush Wear (wt%) 2.5 2 1. 5 1 0.5 0 F00 F03 TPH3 Herculite Pr emise Te tric Ve nus Compressive Strength vs. Hybrid Composites The superior compressive strength of BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus can easily withstand high stress loads on the occlusal surface and marginal ridge.

Choose a SmartCrown to Fight Cavities Cavity Causing Agents Sugars Bacteria Acid Origin SmartCrown Cavity Inhibiting Zirconia crown Fluoride-releasing materials are an indispensable tool to lower the risk of caries development. Among the many choices of restorative materials currently available, glass ionomer material is the greatest source of fluoride available to the surrounding tooth structures. Studies have shown that glass ionomers inhibit demineralization of the surrounding tooth structures, and provide protection against recurrent caries under clinical condition for patients with high risk of cavities. This can be attributed to the ability of glass ionomer material to inhibit demineralization and enhance remineralization through release of fluoride to the adjacent tissue and surrounding fluid. 8

Prevent Cavities Interproximal Caries The Progression Toward Cavities Dental caries start long before they can be detected. A cavity is only the terminal stage of a progressive mineral loss provoked in enamel by caries as a silent disease, dependent on the presence of biofilm and sugar exposure 1. The disease progresses silently until the changes provoked in enamel by biofilm-sugar are clinically visible, i.e., a white spot lesion is present. If the disease is not controlled, dental destruction will not be prevented 2. In spite of being one of the most common diseases in the world today, interproximal caries are extremely difficult to detect. Caries in adults mainly occur at interproximal and restoration margins. Furthermore, these lesions remain difficult to treat even when they are detected. 1. Fejerskov O, Nyvad B, Kidd E. A. M. Pathology of dental caries. In: Fejerskov O, Kidd E (ed).

Fluoride Release Quantity and Its Interproximal Caries Inhibiting Effect * * Cavity Inhibiting Capabilities Ingesting fluoride does not effectively reduce tooth decay; it must be applied topically. Caries penetrate from the surface. With fluoride treatment, a non-cavitated lesion can be remineralized with fluorapatite and have greater resistance to subsequent demineralization than hydroxyapatite (standard tooth structure without fluoride). Even when released in very low concentrations (as low as 0.02 ppm), fluoride is effective as an anti-caries agent. *Please visit www.smartcrown.com for details. 11
SmartCrown Ca2+ F - PO 4 3- Conclusion SmartCrown.com The Origin SmartCrown releases less fluoride than fluoridated toothpaste. Yet, the SmartCrown, because of it s direct application, is more effective in preventing interproximal cavities and inhibiting of bacterial enzymes. It also restores layers of protection by remineralizing the tooth enamel.
