Ivoclar Plaque Test

Plaque Test is a fluorescent disclosing liquid for detecting plaque.

Bacterial plaque not only promotes the development of caries, but also of periodontal and peri-implant disease. It is not easy to detect for the untrained eye. Patients who have been well informed by their dental professionals are capable of further enhancing the treatment results through measures which they can conduct at home.

Advantages:

– No inconvenient staining of tongue and mucous membranes
– Easy handling
– Fluorescent under any polymerization light

Benefits for the practice team

• Easy to integrate into practice routines
• Provides sound information for establishing a reliable diagnosis and for informing patients
• Leaves no unpleasant discolouration

Indication 

• Disclosure of existing bacterial plaque

• 1 x 11gm refill

Step by Step

1. Apply Plaque Test generously on all tooth surfaces using a cotton swab.

2. Instruct the patient to rinse. Plaque Test adheres to areas covered with plaque.

3. Shine a polymerization light, e.g. bluephase on the teeth. Plaque covered with the disclosing liquid has a fluorescent yellow appearance.

4. Remove plaque by brushing the teeth or by professional tooth cleaning using Proxyt® pastes.

Note The glycerine gives Plaque Test a sweet taste. The disclosing liquid is sugarless.
