Breakthrough Whitening Chemistry Enhances Patient Comfort & Creates Healthier, Longer Lasting Results
CULVER CITY, Calif., August 10, 2005— Combining
Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP)1 with the proven effectiveness
of Potassium Nitrate, Discus Dental now offers the most powerful one-two
punch for sensitivity relief in take-home or chairside whitening. Recent
studies using Nite White-ACP indicate a 30% reduction in sensitivity2
during take-home whitening, with over twice as many patients experiencing
zero sensitivity.
Licensed by the American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF), Amorphous
Calcium Phosphate (ACP) has proven to dramatically reduce patient sensitivity
while enhancing the enamel’s natural luster. As the market leader
in professional whitening products, Discus is the only whitening manufacturer
licensed by the ADAF to add ACP to their leading professional whitening
products: Nite White-ACP, Day White-ACP, Nite White Turbo-ACP and Zoom2-ACP.
ACP also works to give patients brighter, more lustrous smiles. Since
tooth structure is almost entirely composed of calcium phosphate minerals,
ACP chemically bonds with the tooth surface, filling microscopic defects
and enhancing overall smoothness and luster. Clinical testing further
shows that Nite White ACP patients achieve longer lasting results.
While additional studies are being conducted by Discus Dental to document
remineralization during whitening procedures, independent testing conducted
by the ADAF indicates that ACP remineralizes enamel subsurface lesions.
At the 2005 New York media conference “Face of the Future: The
New Oral Biology,” Dr. Fred Eichmiller, Director of ADAF Paffenbarger
Research Center, was quoted as saying, “I believe that tooth whitening
gels are ideal delivery systems for the application of ACP to promotion
remineralization of teeth.”
