IT STARTS WITH
BRUSHING
A young, cavity-free adult’s interdental biofilm contains
pathogens that can cause approximal cavities. Many of thesepathogens cause heart and other systemic diseases.
Daily disruption of the interdental biofilm is crucial.

If periodontitis patients get into the habit of sucking
probiotic pastilles alongside measures such as scaling,
the depth of their pockets decreases.

HEALTHY EATING
How does a low carb diet affect gingivitis and periodontitis?
In Woelber et al’s study, a group of participants changed to a diet
low in carbohydrates but rich in Vitamin C and D, fibre,
anti-oxidants and Omega 3 fatty acids. Four weeks later,
they had significantly lower inflammation levels.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE

As Kilian et al point out: According to some studies, the bacteria in the mouthclosely corresponds with a range of systemic diseases, such as cardiovasculardisorders, rheumatic arthritis, strokes, inflammatory diseases of the internalorgans, colorectal cancer, respiratory tract inflammation, meningitis andmany more. A balanced oral microbiome is highly recommended.

PERIO PLUS | PROVEN TO PROTECTCHLORHEXIDINE
WITH A NATURAL
BOOSTWith ‘Perio plus’, you get an all-new range ofmouthwashes with chlorhexidine and Citrox® natural bioflavonoids extracted from bitter oranges.
The combination of CHX and Citrox® is more
powerful than CHX alone. Citrox® has been
proven to enhance the efficacy of CHX. With
minimal adverse side effects and a great taste and it
won’t irritate the taste buds.
The best conditions for treatment compliance.

PERIO PLUS

THE NEW POWER COUPLE:
CHX AND CITROX®

EXCELLENTIN TASTE

Chlorhexidine has been prescribed by dentists for decade because it works. But patients often
complain that traditional formulations are unpleasant to use. Now you can recommend ‘Perioplus’. It tastes amazing and it won’t affect the sense of taste. It’s also exceptionally effective.
The antibacterial qualities of CHX are strengthened by Citrox®, which contains nine natural
bioflavonoids extracted from bitter oranges. It’s been proven that CHX and Citrox® are more
effective than CHX alone.

Perio plus
• T reatment compliance done right thanks to apleasant flavour: developed by Givaudan• C HX in proven concentrations formouthwashes, gel and toothpaste• I n combination with Citrox®:
the natural bitter orange extract forincreased antibacterial effects and the aminoacid polylysine for substantivity• W ith the copolymer VP/VA for an extra strong
protective film on the mucosa and teeth• W ith xylitol for a pleasant sweet taste,
protection against caries and strong teeth• P articularly powerful and effective against avery broad range of microorganisms• C ontrols and delays the build-up of biofilm(plaque regrowth)• N o impact on the sense of taste• T he discolouration typical of CHX is minimal ifused properly• N o alcohol
Antibacterial mouthwashes are sometimes
necessary. But to keep this to a minimum,
it is important to turn to mechanical cleaning
using reliable products. This may sound
hard, but it’s actually soft and gentle –even on the approximal surfaces; see the‘CPS prime’ on page 60.

Chlorhexidine – tried and tested
It has transformed dentistry, especially when it
comes to periodontology and oral surgery.
It is feared by germs like Porphyromonas
gingivalis. For over 50 years, CHX has been thegold standard in dentistry despite its unpleasanttaste, enamel discolouration and disruption to
the palate. Although these side effects are reversible, it does mean that treatment compliancecould be improved.

Bitter orange bioflavonoids
Antiseptic effects dating back millions of years:
Citrox® consists of nine bioflavonoids from bitterorange, also known as Citrus aurantium amara.
Citrox® antiseptic effect is stronger and broader
than that of CHX. It is also antifungal, antiviral,completely natural and free of side effects.
In combination with polylysine amino acids,
Citrox® retains substantivity like CHX.
CHX with the power of nature: Perio plus
What is more potent, CHX or Citrox®? Malic et al.
investigated this question in 2013*. The results are
staggering: Citrox® is shown to be more effective
than CHX. However: The combination of CHX andCitrox® shows the best performance of all, whichis exactly why ‘Perio plus’ combines CHX with
Citrox®. Thanks to this enhanced efficacy, ‘Perioplus’ can, if appropriate, be dosed at a lower CHX
level.

Prevention and patient loyalty tip
Recommend that patients avoid consuming
tobacco and highly discolouring foods during treatment: coffee, red wine, juices, green
and black tea, berries, cherries, saffron andcurry. Thanks to the strong effect of ‘Perioplus’, you can, if appropriate, lower the dosage or even reduce the duration of use. Bothoptions further limit discolouration. And, ofcourse, the additional mechanical cleaning
also helps minimise discolouration.

What is Citrox®?
Citrox® is a natural bioflavonoid extract of bitterorange (Citrus aurantium amara).
These bioflavonoids have a strong – and broad –antibiotic effect, and are antifungal and antiviral.
Over the last few decades, Citrox® has establisheditself as a preservative in the food industry as
well as in surface applications, including for thedisinfection of medical facilities.
This has attracted the interest of a number ofdental professionals, leading to the 2013
discovery by Malic and her team: Citrox®
is even more effective than CHX. There was also
a second finding: In combination with CHX,
Citrox® has an even stronger effect.
Conclusion: Citrox® has been proven toincrease the effect of CHX.
Citrox® is a real winner. And it’s completely
natural.

Protective film, anticaries
The copolymer VP/VA has proven to be particularly mucoadhesive and therefore highly
effective. The birch sugar xylitol provides both asweet taste and protection against tooth decay.
This is why we use both VP/VA and xylitol in‘Perio plus’.

PERIO PLUS

‘PERIO PLUS’ IN TRIED AND
TESTED CHX CONCENTRATIONS‘Perio plus’ is the new CHX range from Curaprox. It combines
Citrox® with CHX in the tried and tested concentrations of
0.05 %-0.5 % chlorhexidine gluconate. Introducing ‘forte’,‘protect’, ‘balance’ and ‘regenerate’ mouthwashes, ‘focus’ gel and‘support’ toothpaste. Citrox® and CHX: Fighting harmful oral
bacteria together.

With hyaluronic acid: ‘Perio plus regenerate’, ‘Perio plus focus gel’ and‘Perio plus support toothpaste’. Hyaluronic acid is especially beneficial
for the healing of wounds: hyaluronic acid moisturises the upper layers oftissue, promoting growth and stabilisation of the tissue, reducing the riskof complications and accelerating the healing process. This is because
hyaluronic acid facilitates cell migration and proliferation, promotes theformation of granulation tissue, combats inflammatory processes andaccelerates reepithelialization.
‘Perio plus regenerate’ mouthwash with hyaluronic acid can be used for
up to one month, thanks to only 0.09 % CHX. ‘Perio plus focus’ gel with
0.5% CHX – which also contains Citrox® and hyaluronic acid – is suitablefor precise local applications for up to seven days.

BAD BREATH

FOR PATIENTSWITH BAD BREATH
When it comes to feeling confident about teeth, gums and oral health,there are two main factors to consider – especially for younger people.
The first is feeling great about an attractive smile. The second is feelingself-assured about breath. For younger people, the tongue is often themain cause of halitosis. For older people, periodontitis and reduced saliva
production can also be major factors. Careful oral hygiene is the best way
to avoid or eliminate halitosis – and to feel fresh and confident. Halitosis
affects 25% of the population. So your recommendations to your patients
can make a significant difference.

BIOFUNCTIONAL SOOTHERCALMS BABIESAND THEIR PARENTS

Top tip
Give away a free Curaprox baby soother toyour pregnant patients. It’s a wonderful
gesture that your patient will remember fora long time – and it encourages the best oral
health from day one.

The Curaprox baby soother with its flat suction tip, side wings and silicone membrane looks
different from all the others. Developed by orthodontist Dr Herbert Pick, this is the ultimate
orthodontic soother. It relaxes babies without the risk of dental displacement or the danger ofjaw deformation. It prevents the teeth from moving and prevents difficulties with overall health.
Our soother supports the natural development of a baby’s teeth, gums, palate and jaw… andsupports language development and the natural swallowing process. And it ensures optimal
breathing through the nose – good for concentration and restful sleeping. And, as such,it calms babies – and their parents!

Are soothers good for your child?
When teenagers need orthodontic treatment, it’soften because they used a dummy – or sucked
their thumb – as a young child. ‘In western
Europe, 70-80% of children have a dummy andone in two of them develop a crossbite or an
open bite,’ says Dr of Dental Science Herbert
Pick. In fact, only 20% of such ‘malocclusions’
are genetic.

The flat tip helps to ensure the palate doesn’ttake on an abnormal, high-arched shape. This
prevents teeth from moving and reduces problems with breathing, sleep and concentration.

Children with such problems are more prone tomouth breathing… which, in turn, leads to an insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain. This cancause developmental disorders. Dr Pick, whodeveloped the Curaprox soother, says: ‘Thereis a clear link between jaw abnormalities and atendency towards mouth breathing, which canlead to problems such as disturbed sleep anddifficulty concentrating. Poor posture has also
been cited in the literature as a consequenceof mouth breathing, along with speech andconcentration disorders and even hyperactivity
and heart conditions.’

The side wings guide the suction pressure to thejaw rather than the palate, ensuring the dentalarch develops a nice, round shape… giving themilk teeth – which act as the placeholders for
adult teeth – the space they need.

For Dr Pick, a distinguished orthodontist in
Kufstein, Austria, developing the ultimate
soother became a personal mission… after his
son developed a crossbite. ‘I felt challenged,
not just as a father but also as an orthodontist,and I wanted to know exactly why this crossbite
happens and how it can be prevented,’ he says.
As with all our baby products, the Curaprox
soother was developed using our ‘biofunctionality’ ethos… thinking about cause and effect– and creating products that promote growth ina natural way.

The special, soft silicone membrane creates thesame, pleasant sensation as a natural nipple
and supports the natural swallowing process.

Free from harmful substances: No Bisphenol A(BPA), no Phthalate, no azo-dyes.

The soother holder stops the soother falling on thefloor – where it can get dirty and contaminated.

TEETHING RING

TOOTHBRUSH

TAKE AWAY TEETHING PAINTENDER LOVING CARE

For babies, the teething ring is a toy. For parents it takes away teething pain – their baby
plays happily… and they’re content. Developed by Dr of Dental Science Nadja-Marina
Kellerhoff, the Curaprox Baby teething ring promotes the development of sensory and motor
skills. It also gets babies used to brushing in a playful way thanks to the integrated massage
and teaching brush. Teething is painful. But there’s no need for parents to reach for theointment. Babies will instinctively bite down on the teething ring and it will take theirpain away. What a relief!

The Curaprox Baby toothbrush, developed by Dental Professor Adrian Lussi, makes cleaning
teeth fun and joyful and encourages quality parent-child time. The compact brush head reaches
all areas of the mouth – ensuring every tooth is cleaned properly. At the same time, the rubberised brush head protects the oral mucosa. The 4,260 densely-packed Curen®-filaments – eachwith a diameter of just 0.09 mm – give gentle, exceptional cleaning. Brushing becomes more
like stroking. The rounded handle ensures children get into the habit of holding their toothbrushcorrectly – with gentle pressure. And it fits perfectly into the hands of both children and parents.
It goes without saying that it’s toxin-free and completely safe to use.

T op tip for patients
Try two baby toothbrushes: One for the childto take ownership of and to playfully practicebrushing with. The other for parents to use afterwards to ensure a thorough clean. Find more

Finally, a toothpaste that makes kids excited about brushing their teeth. Funky fresh strawberry,watermelon and mint give them a party in their mouth. Enzymes support the natural, antibacterial effect of saliva. As does fluoride – with three options: 950 ppm, 1450 ppm for older children
and fluoride free. Now parents can feel secure they’re doing everything they can to nurture theirchild’s oral health. No harmful substances. Obviously.

PREGNANCYFOR PREGNANT PATIENTS

Pregnancy cravings & morning sickness

Pregnant patients can find it more difficult to look after their oral health.
Hormonal changes make them more susceptible to a build-up of plaque –and also loosen the connective tissue. This increases the blood supply to
the gums… leading to softer, more sensitive gums that swell more easily.
That’s why it’s so important to recommend very gentle aids… which can,nevertheless, effectively remove and disorganise bacteria and biofilm –on the enamel, in the sulcus and in the approximal region.

Pregnancy cravings
For many pregnant women, cravings start in thefirst trimester – as early as five weeks into pregnancy – and get stronger in the second trimester.
Those who crave acidic or sweet food or drink
should take special care. The acidity of things
like cola, orange juice, fruit and sugary sweets
attack the structure of tooth enamel. Advise yourpregnant patients not to eat or drink too many ofthese treats! When they do, they should take a
sip of water straight afterwards and wait at least
half an hour before brushing – the teeth enamelbecomes weaker and more at risk of damage
straight after consuming acidic food and drink.

CPS prime

Morning sickness
Similarly, with the nausea and vomiting common
in pregnancy – often known as morning sickness– the acid in vomit can damage the teeth enamel.
Patients should rinse the mouth with water after
being sick and wait at least half an hour before
brushing.

See page 60‘CPS prime’ interdental brushes give exceptional cleanliness in those difficult-to-reachnarrow spaces, thanks to super-fine, extra-long,ultra-resilient filaments. Failing to clean thespaces between the teeth is a major health risk
for anyone. And studies have also suggested a
possible link between gum disease in pregnancy
and a higher risk of premature birth. ‘CPS prime’
help to deal with or prevent gingivitis and therefore the further risk of periodontitis.

Enzycal 1450
See page 72
Enzycal 1450 toothpaste with fluoride helps
your pregnant patients to enjoy the best oral
health – delivered in the most gentle, mildand effective way. Your patients are more at
risk of tooth decay during pregnancy. Sodium
fluoride strengthens the tooth enamel and, after
brushing, makes it resistant to acid attacks. It
also remineralises the enamel, including areasthat have come under attack… and minimises
the growth of the harmful bacteria that can leadto tooth decay.

CS 5460
See page 42
Because gums are soft and even more sensitive
during pregnancy, it’s important to clean them
gently. That’s why our iconic CS 5460 toothbrushfeatures 5,460 ultra-fine, gentle Curen®- filaments, densely packed on the compact brushhead. This gives the patient gentle but exceptional power to clean the teeth and the gumline

Anyone who cleans with our

they are. We’ve gone one better
now: May we introduce you to thenew ‘CS 12460 velvet’? She comeswith a total of 12,460 filaments
standing close to close, forminga highly efficient yet caressingly
soft cleaning surface. She leaves
nothing but cleanliness, strokes
sulcus and every single tooth; theenamel remains undamaged.
Well, there’s just one thing you
have to do: Try it out!

The Curaprox Difference: More is more
But what about ‘less is more’? With Curaprox
toothbrushes, a multitude of filaments on thebrush head – 12,460 in the case of the CS 12460
velvet – create a large, densely-packed cleaning
surface. Which means our special toothbrushes
can reach and clean previously ‘unreachable’
places.

optimal cleaning• Octagonal handle to ensure your patientsbrush at the correct 45 degree cleaning angle• 36 colour combinations• Made in Switzerland

The Curaprox Difference: Thin is better
than thick
The 12,460 filaments are 0.08 mm in diameter– as fine as hair. The thinner the filaments, thebetter they can work together to form a dense
cleaning surface… and the more effectively they
can give the sulcus the tender, loving care it
deserves.

CS 1006

C S SM ART
A multitude of ultra-fine filaments
You see it every day. Abrasions, shrinking gums,
bleeding gums, exposed tooth necks. All causedby brushing with hard bristles and too muchpressure.

OH YES!
The CS smart toothbrush – based on the CS 5460 – features anextra small brush head… but more Curen®-filaments. Dental experts recommend the CS smart because it’s such a precise brush.
Some 7,600 filaments are tightly packed together to give gentle,
exceptional, cleaning power. The huge number of filaments makebrushing unbelievably gentle and injuries all but impossible.

PASSION
The CS 1006 – with its single tuft – doesn’t look like a normal toothbrush. ‘Is it even a toothbrush,’ you might ask. You’d better believe it. Tooth brushing doesn’t get more precise than this– it’s the ultimate in tooth-by-tooth and gumline cleaning. Toothbrush aficionados love making
those precise, gentle movements along the gumline with the CS single – cleaning in places
where it hardly seems possible. Even around implants… and between teeth and braces, brackets
or retainers.

Curaprox toothbrushes are gentle and effective –and remove plaque thoroughly while preventing
enamel damage. How do we do this? Curen®filaments are more rigid than conventional
nylon bristles so they remain stable. They don’t
adsorb water so they stay dry in the mouth. Allof which allows us to produce toothbrushes withan incredible amount of super-fine filaments.

By comparison, a standard toothbrush uses way
less, loosely-arranged bristles – leaving lots ofplaque on the tooth. The bristles are often so
hard that the only way to try to clean in hard-toreach spots is by using excess pressure. Damage
is inevitable.

CS smart

CS 1006• 7,600 Curen®-filaments• Each 0.08 mm in diameter• Extra small brush head

• Curen®-filaments – each 0.10 mm in diameter• Edge length 6mm• 24 colour options• D eveloped specifically for Jiří Sedelmayer’s ‘solo

Want to find out about cleaning your teeth with 44,000
brush movements a minute? See page 18.

Curaprox toothbrushes all feature an extremely
high number of ultra-fine filaments. The CS
5460 boasts 5,460 filaments – each with adiameter of just 0.1mm. The CS smart has 7,600
filaments at 0.08 mm in diameter. And the CS
12460 velvet has 12,460 filaments at 0.08 mm.
The result? An extremely dense area of bristles
that disrupts and removes plaque considerably
more thoroughly and gently.

The solo technique – the short version
Hold your brush vertically and apply to one
side of the tooth’s surface. Carefully move thefilaments of the brush head so they’re justtouching the gumline. Now move the CS single
with precise, gentle, ‘shaking’ movements
along the gumline – from one side of the tooth
to the other.

CPS SYSTEMEASY TO HANDLE
All Curaprox interdental brushes can be attached to all Curaprox holders. With most holders
it’s as simple as: Click the old brush away. Click the new brush on. Away you go. Super convenient. Less waste. And IAP can also be clicked in without any extra hassle.

Easy to measure, for optimal results
Why your patients will see results
Motivation brings success – in the short-term and long-term. The ‘CPS prime’, ‘CPS perio’, ‘CPS
ortho’ and ‘CPS implant’ interdental brushes are easy and pleasant to use. In closed approximal
spaces, the papillae are uninjured. That’s why the ‘CPS prime’ can be carefully pushed beyond
the papillae. With open approximal spaces, the papillae have receded. That’s why the ‘CPS
perio’ and ‘CPS implant’ can be pushed directly through the approximal space. Because it’s sosimple to use CPS interdental brushes – and because they work so well – your patients will see
results in both the short-term and the long-term.

59CPS PRIMEPRIMARY PROPHYLAXISThe spaces in between the teeth should not be an afterthought for your patients. ‘CPS prime’interdental brushes have been developed to care for healthy or only slightly injured papillae –and they’ve been proven to be more effective than dental floss. The ultra-fine bristles becometaut to fill up the space and clean the sulcus as well as the critical areas up to the contact points
effectively removing plaque and pathogens from the approximal space. This helps to prevent
cavities, gingivitis and periodontitis – and even heart and systemic diseases. Patients findthem pleasant to use and the risk of injury is very low. Dentists have everything they need withprobes and five sizes in the chairside box.

Should I recommend dental floss or interdental
brushes to my patients?
Dental floss cannot reach crucial areas.
Dental floss glides over gaps:!

But not all interdental brushes are right for thejob. You need an interdental brush in the rightsize and with long, ultra-fine, resilient bristles.
Introducing the ‘CPS prime’06!

INTERDENTAL BRUSHESINTERDENTAL BRUSHES61CPS PERIOPOWERFUL PREVENTIONVERY GENTLE

There are two crucial criteria for perio care:
Comfortable. And effective.
Caring for the approximal space is particularly
important for perio patients so it’s important togive them the right tools

In perio patients, the interdental space is open. The papillae can be seriously injured and there
may be black holes. ‘CPS perio’ are perfect in such cases thanks to their high-performancecleaning. They’re solid and resilient enough to efficiently and gently clean as secondary andtertiary prophylaxis. ‘CPS perio’ are also ideal for fillings, crowns, bridges and stubborn plaque.
The usual ‘CPS system’ applies simply establish the right size using the IAP probes inyour chairside box.

Space-filling interdental brushes are needed forsecondary and tertiary prophylaxis. A certain
level of rigidity is required. It’s not just about
being slightly harder than primary prophylaxis
interdental brushes – more tension is needed.

405
CPS 405
1.3 mm* / 5.0 mm**Finding the right balance between rigid andpleasantly gentle is the key. If the filaments
are too rigid, they may cause further injury. Ifthey’re not rigid enough, they won’t be resilient

INTERDENTAL SPACES
After periodontal or implant treatment, some interdental spaces are much larger than usual.
We developed ‘CPS implant’ – with long, fine, rounded filaments – to gently andeffectively clean these spaces. It’s perfect for the job. The wire core is resilient and durable
and it also comes with a plastic coating to protect the surface of implants. Gentle on implants,
crowns, bridges and after surgery.

Reach for the stars
The CPS chairside box is now available for the‘CPS implant’: It contains all five sizes – ready
mounted on holders.

Caring for implants safeguards general healthYour patients need to truly understand that
artificial dentures require special care.
Part of your job as a dentist is to let yourpatients know that the surfaces of the implantand heard-to-reach spots must be carefullycleaned – especially the edge of the gum aroundthe implant.

How to use interdental brushes –the short version
Position the ‘CPS interdental brush’ at a slightangle in front of the interdental gap – the space
between the teeth. Push it in: Just a little at first,
then straighten it and push it right through. Pull
it out: Very gently. Done. Move on to the next
one. Go to curaprox.com for full instructions &video guide

We’re convinced peri-implantitis and implantlosses can be avoided in many cases. Whenpatients better understand the exact differences
between implants and natural teeth, they clean
more enthusiastically and more effectively.

Tip for prevention and patient retention
Get hold of our publication for patients,‘why implants need even better care than natural teeth’, to help them understand why perfectcleaning and regular checks are necessary. Get

CARE FOR BRACES
Braces may mean beautiful teeth, but they also bring a whole lot of responsibilities. It’s not justteeth that have to be cleaned perfectly every day – the brackets and wires do too. This is where
the interdental brushes CPS 14 ortho and CPS 18 ortho can help.

For orthodontic patients. Specially designed
interdental brushes to clean wires from theinside and outside, and around brackets.
Recommend the following procedure:
1. T he CPS 18 ortho is ideal for cleaning
the outer wires.
2. To clean the areas created by the braces, run
the CPS 18 ortho under the wires.

ENZYCALSO GENTLE. SO EFFECTIVE.
You’ll notice it straight away. Enzycal toothpastes hardly foam at all… because they’re free fromSLS – the aggressive surfactant that can unfortunately still be found in most toothpastes. It
attacks the cells of the oral mucosa… and leads to painful irritation, injury and mouth ulcers.
SLS, Triclosan and other nasties are not what we want for you or your patients. Enzycal cleanseffectively, is gentle on the oral mucosa and can even significantly reduce mouth ulcers. We only
use ingredients that work naturally with your body…. such as three enzymes that promote oral
health, stimulate saliva production and reinforce the saliva’s natural protective andrestorative functions.
How to use: Moisten toothbrush, apply apea-sized amount of Enzycal andyou’re ready to go!
• Top tip for patients
Recommend Enzycal to patients with dry
mouth or mouth ulcers.
• T ip: how much toothpaste should I use?
Even for adults: a pea-sized amount of theCuraprox toothpastes Enzycal, ‘Black is white’and ‘Be you’ is enough.

EnzycalEnzymes – saliva’s secret weapons
The saliva’s protective enzymatic function canbe slightly impaired – not just by alcohol andnicotine, but also by everyday life. For example,
by drinking sugary, acidic drinks.

• So gentle. So effective.
• Contains a system of enzymes• Free from SLS, triclosan,
microplastics• Low abrasion, enamel-friendly• Perfect with manual and sonic
toothbrushes• Made in Switzerland

Enzycal toothpastes support the saliva’s naturalprotective system. Enzycal contains – at a physiological level – just those enzymes that promoteoral health. This enables saliva to perform its
vital functions in the mouth to the fullest.

Enzycal is Swiss made – like our‘Be you’ and ‘Black is white’
toothpastes. See pages 74 and 77.

These enzymes are amyloglucosidase, glucose
oxidase and lactoperoxidase. In the body they
fight bacteria, fungi and viruses, prevent dentalbuild-up and break down harmful sugar before
micro-organisms can turn it into acid.

Enzycal 1450

Here’s how it works: Amyloglucosidase turns
polyglucan, the matrix of plaque, into glucose.
Now glucose oxidase comes in, turning glucose
into hydrogen peroxide, which competes withplaque bacteria – reducing their ability toreproduce. Lactoperoxidase then ensures thathydrogen peroxide from the glucose transformation reacts with thiocyanate to create hypothiocyanite – an antibacterial substance naturally
found in saliva.
The result: The growth of bacteria is prevented
and the natural balance of oral microflora isrestored. Less plaque, less tartar, better oral
health.

openings that expose dentine and thus reduces the sensitivity of exposed
tooth necks.
+ Birch sugar – also known as xylitol – gives ‘Be you’ a touch of tasty
sweetness, strengthens your teeth and fights bacteria.
+ And glucose oxidase, a natural enzyme found in saliva, gently whitens
the teeth…
+ … and also takes care of your tooth enamel and gums because it activates
the natural lactoperoxidase system of the saliva.
+ All of which gives a gentle yet powerful antibacterial, antiviral andantifungal effect.
+ T he beautiful herbs and natural ingredients of ‘Be you’ – including
extracts of echinacea, bitter orange, devil’s claw and Indian pennywort –nourish the gums and the oral mucosa and help to stop inflammation.

Gentle, natural, whitening – enzymatically
The enzyme glucose oxidase reacts with the sugar in the mouth to createa low concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the saliva that gently whitens
by removing stains and discolouration. And because Hydroxyapatitesmoothes the enamel, it makes it difficult for new discolouration particles
to adhere to the teeth. Your tooth enamel also becomes whiter as it adsorbs
Hydroxyapatite. Now you can enjoy gentle, natural, long-lasting whitening.

CURADEN CORP.:‘BETTER HEALTH FOR YOU’In 1954, Hans Breitschmid asked the question:‘How can I help dentists to do their jobs better?’
The question was asked so many times over the years and decades that it eventually became Curaden
Corp. mission – and the reason for its success. More and more answers were found. Answers that anticipated the future. For this we can thank the talent of Hans Breitschmid – and later his son Ueli – forlistening to their customers and dental professionals… and being the first to anticipate changes anddeliver the best new solutions and processes.
For example: The world’s first treatment unit for ergonomic work on recumbent patients. Probably theworld’s first interdental brushes for primary prophylaxis. The first CHX mouthwash containing Citrox®.
Perhaps the first toothpaste to contain gold. And the first courses to teach 30,000 dental professionals
worldwide unique methodology in oral healthcare.
Hans Breitschmid’s question has expanded to become: ‘What is a dentist’s job?’
The whole dental industry struggles to answer this question. Curaden Corp. answer? A dentist is a preventative practitioner who helps the patient to achieve better health. Health that begins, but does notend, in the mouth – the domain of dental medicine. For example, it’s crucial to balance the microbiomein the mouth to prevent periodontitis bacteria from entering the bloodstream… thus preventing heart
attacks and strokes. The mouth is the gateway to health. The dentist is the gatekeeper.
Then we have society’s inherent need for beauty. In some cases, aesthetic dentistry is appropriate. But
the best oral care makes the biggest difference for both health and beauty… especially when monitored by an exceptional dentist who always finds the time to instruct, coach, motivate and recommend
the best products. That means keeping the mouth and the teeth healthy for life – ideally completely
free of cavities, implants, bridges and prostheses. A healthy mouth for life.
To help our dentists and customers achieve this goal, we offer exceptional products from Curaprox and
exceptional training with iTOP and our BOB App.
