Fluor Protector S
Fluor Protector S is a fluoride-containing protective varnish for treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity,
exposed cervicals and sensitivity after tooth whitening. This innovative varnish has a high fluoride uptake
on enamel (see graphic), fast and effective application, and high patient acceptance.
Fluor Protector S is safe and effective for all ages because of the lower amount of applied fluoride due
to the thinner coating and lower initial fluoride concentration. In addition, Fluor Protector S has a
higher fluoride uptake. Deposited fluoride can be released over time providing sustained protection.
Generally, Fluor Protector S is applied at six-month intervals. Shorter intervals may be indicated.

Fluor Protector S contains approximately 7,700ppm fluoride at application, considerably less than other
fluoride varnishes. After setting on the tooth surface the concentration increases to approximately
29,000ppm. The innovative homogeneous fluoride source enables immediate availability of fluoride
and significantly higher fluoride uptake than competitors during the first hour after application.

Fluoridation process of the varnish on the enamel

Without Fluor Protector S

With Fluor Protector S

In an acidic oral environment

Calcium (Ca), Phosphate (PO)
and Hydroxyl (OH) ions are
dissolved from the enamel and
consequently weaken the
tooth structure leaving

After Fluor Protector S has been applied,

the saliva activates the calcium and fluoride
ions to combine and form a protective
calcium fluoride coating that will
remineralize and strengthen the enamel.
The teeth are no longer under direct
attack by acids and receive long
term protection.

Fast and Effective Application

Enamel surface

High-viscosity
fluoride varnish

Fluor Protector S is the only fluoride varnish composed of ammonium fluoride,

which is an innovative and completely homogenous formulation. Therefore, it
evenly and effectively distributes fluoride. Application is fast and easy because it
does not need to be mixed or stirred.

Fluor Protector S vs. the competitors

Enamel surface

Fluor Protector S

You can clearly see Fluor Protector S is thin, clear and

completely homogenous unlike the competitor varnishes.

Most fluoride varnishes are sodium fluoride and

stacked systems. These inhomogeneous fluoride
varnishes must be stirred or shaken before use
which may result in uneven distribution of fluoride
concentration and compromised adhesion to the teeth.

A low-viscosity fluoride varnish such

as Fluor Protector S spreads easily
and penetrates into porous surfaces.

High Patient Acceptance

Smooth and colorless on teeth

Most varnishes

on teeth

Fluor Protector S hardens to a thin transparent

layer that is only visible close up. It feels smooth
and virtually non-existent so patients leave the
dental office with clean and great looking teeth.
Competitive (sodium fluoride) varnishes tend
to appear yellow on teeth and feel sticky.
With these type of varnishes, patients often
try to immediately lick or wipe the varnish off
their teeth because it feels and looks
unpleasant.
