Despite the proven benefits of fluoride treatments, dental professionals still face the challenge of helping patients understand its true value. For patients who need a little convincing, many of today’s fluoride varnishes are quick, comfortable, and convenient, making it easier than ever for clinicians to turn patient hesitation into easy acceptance.
Designed with patient-pleasing benefits that encourage patients to say “yes,” Solventum’s 3M Clinpro Clear Fluoride Treatment is a convenient and effective solution that differentiates itself from other fluoride varnishes.
Clear Patient Benefits
Clinpro Clear features an easy-to-use L-Pop unit-dose delivery system for quick and easy application, while its smooth, water-based formula in 3 flavors (mint, watermelon, and flavorless) provides an improved taste, smell, and mouthfeel.
According to Joy Void-Holmes, DHSC, BSDH, RDH, “The water-based formula ensures a smoother application, avoiding the tacky or sticky sensation that some varnishes leave behind.”
After application, a ready-release formula enables effective fluoride uptake with minimal contact time, further improving the patient experience and the efficacy of the fluoride varnish.
“Clinpro Clear stands out for its high fluoride uptake and contact time of just 15 minutes—a significant advancement in fluoride varnish treatment,” explained Void-Holmes.
Less Is More
Leveraging soluble fluoride ions that are immediately available to deposit onto the tooth, Clinpro Clear uses a lower dose of sodium fluoride (2.1%) to provide similar or higher amounts of fluoride uptake as a traditional 5% varnish treatment.
“Unlike other formulations that require a longer retention time for the fluoride in the product to dissolve and react with the patient’s teeth, Clinpro Clear reacts quickly, which helps maximize protection to enamel and dentin,” shared Dr. Livia Tenuta.
Fast & Reliable Protection
Clinpro Clear provides fast and reliable protection to enamel and dentin surfaces, making it a great treatment option for patients with hypersensitive teeth. “While clinicians are constantly educating patients on proper oral hygiene and dietary habits, fluoride represents the best protection that the oral health team can offer them,” added Dr. Tenuta.
