ACCLEAN Prophy Paste with TCP

 
Part of Henry Schein’s ACCLEAN preventives, the new ACCLEAN Prophy Paste with TCP offers excellent polishing and easy rinsing with added protection

On busy days filled with back-to-back hygiene appointments, it’s no surprise that many hygienists are creatures of habit. For example, they may opt to play it safe by sticking with materials they know work well and achieve fast, consistent results for themselves and their patients.

But when always playing it safe, it’s easy to miss out on the potential to find a better material. “I have always used the same prophy paste, and I was happy with it. However, it was difficult to rinse, and patients always complained of grittiness—even after rinsing,” said Allison Koska, RDH, who admits she was apprehensive about trying a new prophy paste.

“Initially, when I looked at and felt the ACCLEAN Prophy Paste with TCP, I thought it wouldn’t be as effective at removing stain, as the particles seemed much smaller and smoother than my previous prophy paste,” she said. “I was pleasantly surprised that the paste was superior at stain removal and rinsed much easier. Nobody has complained about residual grittiness since I started using it.”

A Phenomenal Performance

Henry Schein’s ACCLEAN Prophy Paste with TCP enhances fluoride activity with the addition of tricalcium phosphate, which may help enhance remineralization and prevent demineralization.* This prophy paste also offers excellent stain removal and polishing performance.

“When polishing, I like the remineralization aspect of this paste, which has become a more frequent focus for patients who ask me about toothpastes with this ingredient, too,” said Michele Byrd, RDH, who also recently gave ACCLEAN Prophy Paste a try.

Koska agreed, adding, “The addition of TCP to the paste is an interesting idea, and burnishing it into the enamel is a great method of delivery.” Additionally, delivering ACCLEAN Prophy Paste is consistent and splatter-free. “It goes on well with less splatter and is smooth and easy to polish with,” said Byrd.

A Patient-Pleasing Paste

“According to patients, the paste’s taste was excellent, too,” Koska noted. ACCLEAN Prophy Paste is available in unit-dose cups with 200 per box in assorted flavors, including mint, cherry, and bubble gum. These flavors are also gluten-free and available in a large selection of grits.

“You can really see the ACCLEAN Prophy Paste’s tiny stain-removal particles as you go, and they polish up the enamel and remove plaque very nicely,” Koska concluded.
