The non-invasive therapy with CurodontTM Repair is as safe as its application is easy.
The entire process of applying CurodontTM Repair is completed within 8-10 minutes, without drilling, anesthesia, or pain.
Perform oral prophylaxis in the area to be treated to eliminate any calculus/ plaque/materia alba. Isolate the area using cheek retractors and cotton rolls. Use of a rubber dam is optional.
Clean the tooth surface for 20 seconds using a small cotton pellet dipped in 2-3% sodium hypochlorite to remove the organic pellicle; then, rinse with water.
Etch the surface of the early carious lesion with 35-37% orthophosphoric acid for 20 seconds. If on a proximal surface, unwaxed dental floss may be used to distribute the etchant in the interdental space. Rinse and pat the tooth to dry. Aggressive drying is not recommended.
Use one CurodontTM Repair applicator per lesion. After withdrawing the applicator sponge, press it onto the lesion surface to squeeze out the all the liquid. In case of proximal caries on adjacent teeth, one applicator may be used for two lesions.
Wait for 5 min. Do not rinse or ask the patient to spit. Discharge the patient with routine instructions and emphasise the need to maintain good oral hygiene.
