Sherbet Varnish 5% Peppermint

The use of Sherbet Varnish can be useful for those who are at risk of tooth decay, for patients with special needs, and for those who do not have access to the daily use of fluoride or other preventive methods. Even a small amount of varnish can be applied in the initial phase of caries disease, ensuring that a high concentration of the fluoride agent is in the place where it is needed, in which case the total amount of active substance administered to the patient with food can be significantly reduced. Given that varnish treatment is painless and can be easily performed with the help of junior medical staff, this method of caries prevention can be easily applied and recommended for any age group, even young children.

Based on clinical data, the use of fluoride varnish is recommended for patients with a high risk of developing caries, active enamel lesions that have not developed into a carious cavity and with exposure of root surfaces. The varnish is indicated for use after periods of teething, including when the enamel is not yet completely mineralized, and these patients are shown the use of fluoride varnish because it has a strong mineralizing effect and a great possibility of introducing fluoride into the tooth enamel. Fluoride varnish applications are also indicated for patients with reduced salivation (xerostomia and those who use drugs that lead to a decrease in salivation), after periodontal surgery, patients with fixed or partial removable dentures, who have a higher risk for the formation of caries on the supporting and adjacent teeth. Persons with digestive disorders, mentally or physically retarded persons who may also have a high risk of developing caries. Varnish is considered as a safe and easy alternative for the control of tooth decay and in patients with special needs, such as those receiving head and neck irradiation, orthodontic treatment. This is directly related to the fact that when using fluoride varnish, there is no need to use a saliva ejector.

Sherbet Varnish can be applied even to very young children and in field environments such as classrooms. Thus, it makes it possible to use fluoride varnish by pediatricians and nurses in schools.

Clinically, Sherbet varnish can be applied to fissures, proximal surfaces, or all surfaces of primary or permanent teeth. It can also be applied to specific, targeted tooth surfaces, and applications can be made according to individual needs. The varnish should be applied to dry, clean teeth. But the composition of Sherbet varnish is such that thorough drying of the surface is not required. Professional prophylaxis of teeth (cleaning the surface of the teeth with professional prophylactic pastes) is not an essential factor before use. It has been proven that fluoride ions can migrate through the plaque and brushing the teeth performed by the patients themselves before application is sufficient for the varnish to "work" on the surface of the tooth.

The following steps are recommended for the clinical use of fluoride varnish:

1. Insulate the quadrant with cotton rollers, and dry with dry compressed air or a gauze cloth before use. Since the varnish hardens in the presence of moisture, excessive drying is not necessary.

2. Stir the Sherbet Varnish in the tray of the blister in which it is located. For adult teeth, 0.4 ml of varnish is a sufficient dose. Due to the high concentration of fluoride, care should be taken to increase the volume used so as not to exceed the recommended dose. If the varnish is packaged in a 20 ml tube, then it is necessary to shake the tube thoroughly and squeeze the required amount onto the pad.

3. Apply the varnish to the dried surfaces of the teeth or to the desired surface with a small disposable brush located in the unidose or in the box. The varnish should be applied in the form of a thin film. The specific time of application is not indicated, since the varnish hardens in contact with saliva. After application, the cotton rollers can be removed, and the doctor can proceed to the next quadrant. The application process usually takes from one to 4 minutes.

4. Instruct the patient to avoid food for 2 to 4 hours after application and to follow a bland diet for the rest of the day. Patients should avoid brushing their teeth on the same day to maximize contact between the nail polish and the teeth and to achieve optimal fluoride benefits. The varnish can be peeled off during normal brushing the next day.

EFFECTIVENESS OF FLUORINE VARNISHES

Fluoride varnishes were originally developed to extend the contact time between the fluoride composition and the surface of the teeth, thereby improving the penetration of fluoride into the surface layers, that is, increasing the absorption time of the fluoride that strengthened the enamel. However, the concept of caries as a static fluoride mechanism has changed significantly in recent decades. In addition to fluoride inclusions in the crystal lattice, Sherbet Fluoride Varnish interacts with saliva and secretes not only fluorine ions, but also calcium ions, forming calcium fluoride (CaF2), which penetrates the enamel. These deposits of calcium fluoride create a reservoir of fluoride ions that are slowly released when the pH of plaque drops, thus acting as a long-term source of fluoride ion. This fact is considered to be the most important in the mechanism of action of products with a high concentration of fluoride. It has been observed that fluoride varnishes are very effective when used in the early stages of a white spot lesion, since a large amount of fluoride can be introduced into the porous surface of demineralized enamel. Thus, the action of Sherbet Fluoride Varnish is associated with the inhibition of demineralization processes by promoting the reminiralization of enamel.

In numerous studies, fluoride varnishes have been shown to be clinically effective in preventing tooth decay.

The composition of Sherbet Fluoride Varnish includes TCP - Calcium Triphosphate - Ca3 (PO4) 2. The results of the study indicate that the use of the TCP additive significantly improves the protective ability of fluoride varnish on teeth in vitro, strengthening the tooth enamel.

Fluoride varnishes have a high concentration of fluoride - 22600 parts per million. Minor ingestion of fluoride may occur during the process of use or after, when fluoride is released into saliva. However, there are no reports in the literature of possible side effects for patients.
