Diatech Adds Phocal Fluoride Disks to Hygienist Choice Product Line

Posted: June 4, 2014
Diatech is partnering with Colldent to sell Phocal fluoride disks in their newly relaunched Hygienist Choice division. 
 
Hygienist Choice is devoted specifically to dental hygienists and features a collection of products that have proven most popular with dental hygienists. 
 
Colldent’s Phocal fluoride disks provide dentists with ammunition in the battle against interproximal caries, a problem with limited preventive treatment options. Phocal disks offer an easy and effective solution for preventing and treating interproximal decay. 
 
The relatively high incidence of primary and secondary interproximal caries can be attributed to the inability of current home care and professional preventive agents to reach these surfaces adequately. As a result, approximately 18 percent of interproximal surfaces develop caries. 
 
The thin, round Phocal disks can easily be inserted between the teeth to deliver a concentrated dose of fluoride to previously inaccessible areas. 
 
“Our Hygienist Choice division has two goals: to understand the hygienist’s world and to continually provide new, improved ways to make life easier, more efficient and more productive,” said Diatech President Alicia Oliver. “The Phocal fluoride disks are the perfect product for this division. The disks provide a simple, effective treatment to a frustrating problem for dental professionals. They are uniquely designed to deliver site-specific fluoride to prevent decay, arrest the progress of incipient caries, and enhance remineralization at natural interproximal tooth sites and at tooth-restoration margins between teeth.”
 
Independent studies conducted at a renowned Midwestern university research facility illustrate that Phocal disks provide significantly superior fluoride uptake in the interproximal space when compared to fluoride tray gels, varnishes and rinses.
The Phocal disks are available in two forms:
Phocal Apf (acidulated phosphate fluoride) disks contain 0.103mg of sodium fluoride and .009mg of hydrogen fluoride, induce an optimized low pH environment that cleans and etches tooth surfaces, and facilitate deep fluoride penetration while stimulating remineralization.
 
Phocal pHn (non-acidic sodium fluoride) disks are appropriate for patients with ceramic crowns or tooth-colored restorations. They contain 0.122mg of sodium fluoride, are less acidic and will not etch into ceramic crowns or restorations, and induce fluoridation and remineralization.
