The toothpaste for implants!
Science
The action of active oxygen, lactoferrin and fluoride is supported by scientific articles. These contribute to accountability for the operation of Implaclean®. New relevant studies will be updated on this page.
Dental care
Taking care of oral hygiene is very important both before and after placing implants. To ensure this is followed up, daily oral care and regulated appointments at a dentist and/or dental hygienist are very important. When nurturing your implants and implant constructions we recommend taking the following steps (depending on the type of implant):
Benefits
The benefits of Implaclean
Implaclean® was the first toothpaste that contains active oxygen. In 2007, Dyna Dental Engineering B.V. (A Dutch dental implant manufacturer) came up with the idea to use the patented Ardox-X® formula in a toothpaste.
The function of the toothpaste is to keep dental implant constructions clean, without negative effects. The patented Ardox-X® technology is combined with lactoferrin, which offers a vast array of benefits.
- Implant constructions remain cool
- Helps with gum problems
- Improves wound healing
- Prevents and cures peri-implantitis
- Treats and prevents periodontitis
- Helps with sensitive teeth
- Treats bad breath
- Limits color differences between teeth and crowns
- Eliminates harmful bacteria
Characteristics
The Characteristics of Implaclean
Ardox-X® has been patented worldwide. The unique technology was used to develop a toothpaste, that takes special care of oral hygiene and dental implants: Implaclean.
Dental implants need special care. We discourage the use of normal toothpastes, because their ingredients can damage the implants. Fluoride, pH-value, abrasives and bad oral hygiene can all affect the implant. Implaclean® does not contain abrasives, has a neutral pH-value and minimal amount of fluoride to prevent damaging the implant.
- Safe for implant constructions
- Patented active oxygen technology
- Low fluoride quantity
- pH neutral
- No abrasive ingredients
- Scientifically proven
Implaclean recipe
Active oxygen
Implaclean contains Ardox-X active oxygen technology, made by Ardoz Research B.V. Active oxygen works as an oxygen donor. When applied, a controlled release of oxygen molecules takes place and penetrates deeply into the tissue. The active oxygen enhances wound healing, disinfects, prevents plaque and ensures healthy gums.
Moreover, it prevents and helps cure peri-implantitis, periodontitis, sensitive teeth, oral malodor and gives a whitening effect. The product also helps prevent teeth and implant discoloration.
Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin is an anti-inflammatory protein that, amongst other things, resides in milk. Combined with active oxygen, lactoferrin contributes to the anti-bacterial, anti-parasite and anti-viral function of the toothpaste. Lactoferrin also promotes bone cells and forming of bone, which can help the attachment process of the implant.
pH neutral and Low fluoride quantity
Titanium is a commonly used material for dental implants. There is a good chance that your implant is also made from titanium.
Regular toothpastes often contain a high concentration of fluoride and abrasives. Fluoride, pH-value and abrasives can damage a titanium implant. Abrasives can cause scratches on the surface of the implant in which bacteria can easily nest themselves. To avoid scratches and deterioration, Implaclean has a low concentration fluoride, neutral pH-value and no abrasives.
Fluoride
A fluoride concentration above 500 ppm, normal toothpastes have concentrations of 1000 – 1500 ppm, can be harmful for titanium. As almost all dental implants are made of titanium, this poses a threat. Fluoride is however useful and important for the natural teeth, because it strengthens the tooth enamel (the surface of the tooth, covering the crown). This battles tooth decay and wear. For this reason, we chose to add a low concentration of fluor (200 ppm) to the formula of Implaclean.
