CHICAGO, October 2, 2004 — In keeping with their strong tradition of producing innovative, quality oral care products, Sunstar Butler introduces Rincinol™ P.R.N., the first non-prescription rinse for oral pain relief that forms a bio-adherent protective coating over the mucosal surface to quickly provide long-lasting oral pain relief and promote healing without numbing, stinging or burning. Available over the counter, as well as dispensed in-office by dental professionals, Rincinol™ P.R.N. is indicated for a broad range of applications, including aphthous ulcers (canker sores); mouth burns; irritation from orthodontic appliances and removable prosthetics; post-oral surgery and other soft tissue management procedures such as scaling, root planing and prophylaxis treatment; and oral tissue trauma from a variety of other causes. Rincinol™ P.R.N. easily treats the entire oral cavity through simple swishing around the mouth. It is ideal for in-office use as part of a complete post-op pain management protocol, and provides site-specific pain relief with no need for difficult or painful site-specific application.
Unlike alternative temporary relief options, alcohol-free Rincinol™ P.R.N. adheres to the oral mucosa to create a thin protective coating without numbing, stinging or burning. This long-lasting protective shield coats exposed, sensitive nerve endings to eliminate over-stimulation and aids against infection. As a result, pain is reduced and the healing environment remains protected. Rincinol™ P.R.N. ingredients include Polyvinylpyrrolidone and Sodium Hyaluronate (the muco-adherent and film forming agents), Glycyrrhetinic acid (shown to inhibit inflammation in anti-inflammatory models) and Aloe Vera (for its soothing, healing and hydrating qualities).
Studies have demonstrated that Rincinol™ P.R.N. is safe and effective for controlling pain, allowing patients to eat and drink more comfortably. In fact, one study showed 97 percent of patients experienced rapid and sustained pain relief for several hours after initial treatment. The pleasant taste and protective barrier action of Rincinol™ P.R.N. combined with its ease of use, results in immediate pain relief with no reported side effects drug interaction concerns. It is safe for all ages 6 and above.
