Materials That Meet the Need

Ufi Gel SC

One of these products is VOCO’s Ufi Gel SC, which I use to provide the most comfortable and reliable denture relines. It is the best one-visit, permanently soft reline product on the market. It does not delaminate and lasts longer than the other products I have used in the past.

If a patient complains about an ill-fitting denture, the ideal treatment plan would be to immediately fabricate new dentures. However, insurance does not always recognize the need to remake dentures, nor does it value house-call dentistry in reimbursement or payment models.

In other cases where the patient may be frail, in hospice, or have some form of dementia, new dentures may be too much for them to handle, so a soft reline is often the only sensible solution.

 Made with a durable, top-quality silicone that does not irritate the tissues, I use Ufi Gel SC on both partial and complete dentures. Also available in a hard formulation (Ufi Gel hard C), both products will not wear down from denture cleaners, which is important for longevity.

Best of all, Ufi Gel SC looks great in the mouth and has a durable elasticity and high resilience. I have honestly had the best success using this product to provide quality oral care to my patients.

Profluorid L

Poor brushing technique and frequency are the main causes of erosion, which are very common in the geriatric population. Profluorid L is one of the greatest tools in my travel suitcase for the treatment of hypersensitive teeth, especially on the root surfaces, which is seen every day in my practice. I probably use it 2 to 3 times daily.

Patients have immediate relief on the first application of Profluorid L. Its formula offers double protection by combining 5% sodium fluoride, which starts working immediately, with calcium deposits that store and release fluoride over time. This doubling effect makes it the perfect long-term solution for sensitive teeth.

The resin used in Profluorid L does not interfere with bleaching results, making it a win-win for patients bleaching their teeth.

Remin Pro

I use Remin Pro with patients who have sensitivity because it helps strengthen enamel, especially for those who struggle with brushing due to dexterity issues. It contains fluoride, nanohydroxyapatite, and xylitol for effective "triple" protection, but the star ingredient is nanohydroxyapatite, which helps fill small irregularities in tooth structure caused by erosion.

Remin Pro works with saliva in just 3 minutes to control hypersensitivity while restoring proper mineral balance. It is best to let Remin Pro sit on the teeth as long as possible; I do this by having the patient spit out residual paste and saliva without rinsing for optimal results. My patients love the strawberry flavor!

Admira Protect

VOCO cares about the biocompatibility of all its products, which is very important to me because I treat patients who may not be able to voice their concerns if they feel any side effects. I want to be certain that the products I'm using are 100% safe and will not cause an immune response within the body.

VOCO has taken extreme testing measures to ensure its ORMOCER (Organically Modified Ceramic) matrix, a key component in its Admira Protect desensitizer, exhibits superior biocompatibility with virtually no side effects.

Thanks to Admira Protect's reliable adhesion, I can permanently eliminate hypersensitivity at the CEJ and crown margins by using a 2-step technique and a curing light. It has had a tremendous effect on my patients when it comes to sensitivity relief. This 2-step treatment can last up to 2 years, but I found that it can last much longer, which makes all the difference for my homebound patients.
