MI Varnish The ultimate fluoride varnish

MI Varnish The ultimate fluoride varnish

GC introduces MI Varnish, the first fluoride varnish with RECALDENT (CPP-ACP) MI Varnish is a 5% NaF varnish enhanced with 2% RECALDENT (CPP-ACP) to give an exceptional fluoride varnish that releases more bio-available fluoride, calcium and phosphate. Perfect brush, optimum flow Packaged with the perfect application brush, MI Varnish gives clinicians the smoothest and easiest fluoride varnish application experience. MI Varnish is conveniently delivered in a purpose-designed unit dose containing a generous application of varnish. Smooth, translucent and tasty Once applied, MI Varnish has a beautiful smooth consistency and a neutral shade with natural translucency. The great tasting strawberry and mint flavours mean MI Varnish will be your patient s first preference as well. Nice consistency, great brush, great material, goes on smooth and with one easy layer. It sticks to the brush very well and does not drip from the brush as you take it from container to tooth. As to the colour of the MI Varnish, patients loved it!

MI VARNISH The best way to deliver fluoride is in combination with RECALDENT (CPP-ACP) MI Varnish has the highest fluoride release * Cumulative fluoride ion release (μmol/g) 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 MI Varnish Clinpro White^ Enamel Pro^ Bilfluorid 5^ Duraphat^ 1 hour 4 hours 24 hours 72 hours 168 hours Synergy When fluoride ions come into contact with RECALDENT (CPP-ACP), the peptide preferentially combines with, and stabilises fluoride, to create the ideal source of ions for building fluorapatite. Ideal size CPP-ACPF is less than 2 nanometres in size and is able to penetrate into biofilms, enamel and dentine. CPP-ACPF has a neutral charge, so it is not hindered in its diffusion characteristics.

MI VARNISH MI Varnish provides superior protection for hypersensitive dentine MI Varnish contains NaF and RECALDENT (CPP-ACP) dispersed in a rosin and ethanol solution. When MI Varnish is applied, it adheres to the tooth and seals exposed dentine tubules. Contact with saliva sets the varnish and starts the slow dissolution process, driving the release of fluoride and RECALDENT (CPP-ACP). Fluoride ions that are released bind with calcium ions in pellicle and plaque, to form globules of calcium fluoride. These globules deposit on the tooth surface, providing additional blockage of exposed dentine tubules, enhanced acid resistance and promote calcium and phosphate-enriched saliva.

Clinical application 1. Dry the tooth surfaces before application of MI Varnish. 2. Peel the foil lid off the MI Varnish unit dose and stir through. 3. Apply a thin, uniform layer of MI Varnish using a disposable brush. 4. MI Varnish sets when in contact with water or saliva. Dr. Esra Can, Turkey 5. MI Varnish should remain undisturbed on the teeth for 4 hours. Instruct patients to avoid hard, hot or sticky foods, tooth brushing and flossing, products containing alcohol (oral rinses, beverages etc.) during this time period. As a clinician MI Varnish is a must! When applying MI Varnish to the teeth, the flowability and manoeuvring of the brush was excellent. MI Varnish has the greatest acceptance rate of any product I have ever used. Dr Noel Brandon Kelsch, RDHAP 6
