Two Phocal Options for Differing Requirements
- Phocal fluoride disks for the treatment of insipient interproximal caries
Phocal disks are semi-permeable fluoride in a unique disk form for insertion between the teeth. Once positioned interproximally, they soften and expand forming a gel. They prevent and repair early interproximal decay at the microscopic, nanoscopic and molecular levels. The patented Phocal fluoride disks weigh 5mg, contain 1.02% fluoride ions, and come in two forms:
Phocal Apf – acidulated phosphate fluoride disks
- Contain 0.1135mg of sodium fluoride.
- Induce an optimized low pH environment that cleans and etches tooth surfaces.
- Facilitate deep fluoride penetration and stimulate remineralization.
Phocal pHn – non-acidic sodium fluoride disks
- Contain 0.1135mg of sodium fluoride.
- Are less acidic and will not etch ceramic crowns or tooth-colored restorations.
- Induce fluoridation and remineralization.
