Sylc Prophy Therapy with SmarTip Technology is a dry powder delivery system that transforms a standard air hose into an air polishing system. The SmarTip adapter features a built-in air pressure regulator that helps
eliminates air pressure guess work, and allows clinicians to focus on patient treatment.
Each SmarTip is a single use prefilled powder system that holds sufficient NovaMin calcium phosphosilicate powder to clean the lower or upper dentition, or used for localized spot cleaning on heavily stained teeth.
The SmarTip fits onto the reusable pressure regulating adaptor. Sylc is a bioactive material with decades of proven benefits. When combined with saliva or water, Sylc forms hydroxycarbonate apatite crystals (HCA) that become entrapped into the collagen of dentin and biologically bond into the mineral surface to promote regeneration of dentin and damaged tooth surfaces. Unlike traditional desensitizing varnishes or pastes, Sylc provides superior relief from painful hypersensitivity without unsightly discoloration or unpleasant taste or feel.
Additionally, the hydroxycarbonate apatite crystals instantly flood open dentin tubules, restoring tooth enamel naturally, and replacing minerals eroded by food or bacteria.
Applications
- Clean more quickly & effectively than prophy paste,
- Desensitizes immediately and reduces hypersensitivity,
- Adjunct for bleaching procedure,
- Rebuilds damaged dentin and enamel,
- Efficient cleaning around orthodontia treating tooth erosion and abrasion.
Benefits
- Improved patient comfort,
- Great taste & feel,
- Virtually no soft tissue irritation,
- No sodium contraindications, suitable for most patients,
- Reduced treatment time,
- Less aerosol and mess during treatment.
The Sylc SmarTips are color coded Pink, however, the SmarTip adapter is also compatible with the Sodium
Carbonate filled tips color coded Green, and the Calcium Carbonate filled tips color coded Yellow.
Sylc is to be used on natural teeth only as it can matt, dull and pit some restorative materials.
Note: it is not a replacement for air polishing of subgingival biofilm or stain removal from restored surfaces.
