I’ve been looking for an easy way to eliminate incipient interproximal lesions. Phocal disks seem to do just that. In less than a minute I was able to insert the disk under an IP contact with a small radiographic lesion. My patient felt nothing and the fluoride containing disk remained in place until it dissolved. How easy was that? Site specific fluoride application made easy! And with no discomfort or bad taste for my patient.

Phocal disks allow fluoride to reach places that it has never gone before. This easily used therapy will be a valuable tool in the prevention and arresting of caries as well as the remineralization of compromised surfaces. Its versatility will give dentists a way to address incipient decay, not only in interproximal surfaces, but also many other sites in the dentition.

I have recently incorporated the use of Phocal Disks into my practice. The placement of the disks into interproximal sites is very easy to master, and I’ve found them to be a great asset for the prevention of caries and remineralization of incipient carious lesions. Phocal Disks should be added to any dental practice… Why “watch” small incipient caries, when now there is a simple, conservative treatment for such lesions?

As an orthodontist, I am thrilled to use the Phocal fluoride disks to help prevent carious lesions from developing during care. They give me the ability to address incipient lesions that arise during orthodontic treatment to arrest their progression and to remineralize the area. Phocal disks are easy to place and should prove to be a valuable technique.

Phocal is a great relief to me because I can tell my patients I have an option to remineralize their incipient lesions. I can offer to place the Phocal disks right there during the routine hygiene appointment – it’s not time out of the doctor’s schedule and it’s really convenient for the patient.

When we find these incipient cavities, we can do nothing and watch and monitor, or with Phocal, we have the opportunity to do something to strengthen this area. Phocal disks can strengthen the enamel and make it a little more resistant to the acid attack by those bacteria and we can avoid a restoration.

It just makes sense to give those lesions a chance to remineralize. Our hygienists are placing the Phocal disks – it’s really easy and has become a routine part of our regular hygiene appointment. It has been a very valuable product for arresting the incipient lesions we’ve seen in patients both young and old.
