  Posted by: Dental Design      4th September 2024

Whilst supplementary oral hygiene steps are not always required for patients’ daily routines, sometimes patients need a little extra help to maintain their periodontal health. In these situations, it’s important to recommend products which include high-quality ingredients that offer targeted care.

Perio plus mouthwash range from Curaprox is designed for either short- or long-term use, depending on the patient’s situation, to help manage acute problems. For example, Perio plus can be used following invasive procedures like extractions and dental implant treatment to reduce the risk of infections. It is also ideal for temporary use when patients have caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and peri-implant diseases.

So, what ingredients are included in Perio plus mouthwashes? And, what are the benefits these offer patients?

The Perio plus superhero ingredients

Perio plus mouthwashes contain a range of key active ingredients to support patients’ oral health. These include:

  • Varying levels of chlorhexidine for an antibacterial effect
  • CITROX®/P – a natural bioflavonoid combined with polylysine amino acids
  • Xylitol – tastes great, protects against caries, and supports strong teeth
  • PVP/VA – produces a protective film over teeth

CITROX®, a natural ingredient extracted from bitter oranges, is a bioflavonoid which aids in healing and is effective against dangerous pathogens such as MRSA, C. Difficile, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Streptococcus. Chlorhexidine had been used in dentistry for almost 70 years, thanks to its powerful antibacterial effect. When it’s combined with chlorhexidine, CITROX® can protect the mouth against a wide range of bacteria which cause oral diseases like caries and periodontitis.

CITROX® quickly and efficiently breaks down bacterial biofilm, allowing it to act fast and offer long-lasting effects. Not only this, but CITROX® is strong, making it less prone to bacterial resistance and enabling it to protect the mouth against the re-infiltration of bacteria.

Further to this, CITROX® is non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-carcinogenic, and non-allergenic, making it suitable for the majority of patients who need additional help with their oral hygiene. Plus, it’s dermatologically tested, biodegradable, safe, and eco-friendly.

When can CITROX® help patients?

CITROX® offers a range of healing and protective benefits when included in oral hygiene products. As such, it’s ideal:

  • Before and after oral surgery
  • Against periodontal disease
  • Against candida infections
  • Combined with chlorhexidine for enhanced protection

When a patient could benefit from supplementary oral hygiene products, recommend the Perio plus range to help them protect their mouth and reduce the risk of infection.

Choose Perio plus for patient compliance

Perio plus is easy and fast for patients to use, making it perfect for reducing bacteria in the mouth when they’ve undergone oral surgery or are experiencing oral diseases and inflammation. In addition to this, patients are highly likely to comply with the use of Perio plus mouthwashes because they:

  • Provide protection against a wide range of bacteria
  • Eradicate biofilm quickly and protect against its regrowth
  • Have a pleasant taste and minimal side effects

Perio plus when it’s needed

 Usually, for many patients, twice daily tooth brushing and once daily interdental cleaning are sufficient for maintaining oral hygiene and removing biofilm. However, when patients are undergoing dental treatments, have infections, or have caries, additional oral hygiene supplements can help to maintain their oral health.

Therefore, be sure to recommend the right Perio plus mouthwash to each patient depending on their unique situation. Perio plus Forte is the strongest in the range, with a chlorhexidine concentration of 0.2%, recommended for use before and after invasive dental procedures. Regenerate is recommended for comprehensive protection against gum and implant-related issues, with a chlorhexidine concentration of 0.09%. Finally, Balance is designed for occasional use to offer protection against plaque, ideal for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, containing the lowest concentration of 0.05% chlorhexidine.

Recommend Perio plus products to your patients who need an extra oral hygiene boost.
