LumaLite, Inc. introduces GentleBright™ Light-Activated Whitener, an in-office power whitening compound that requires no gingival protection. It has been specially formulated for use with in-office power bleaching lights to whiten teeth. No tooth sensitivity or gingival irritation issues have been reported. It is so gentle that no rubber dams or desensitization agents are necessary.
The active ingredient’s safety and efficacy have been well established. Studies have shown it to be non-toxic; it has been used for many years as a disinfectant for food and water and in other human and industrial applications. GentleBright is packaged in a two-part syringe that auto-matically mixes the materials to the proper strength at time of application. The product requires no refrigeration and has a shelf life of one year. Because no tooth sensitivity has been reported with GentleBright, post-whitening fluoride treatments are not necessary.
GentleBright offers dentists a fast, convenient way to perform in-office whitening procedures. Each single-patient syringe of GentleBright contains enough material to perform a complete dual-arch in-office whitening procedure. Chair time is minimized because there is no need to apply a rubber dam before the procedure or to perform a fluoride treatment afterwards. While GentleBright provides excellent results with most bleaching lights, it has been optimized for use with LumaLite’s patented LumaArchtm bleaching system technologies.
GentleBright Light-Activated Whitener is available from most major dental dealers. Patents granted and pending. Call 800-400-2262 or visit www.luma-lite.com for more information.
