Crosstex Introduces ProGuard 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish to the Dental Market

A Long-Lasting Fluoride Varnish That’s Patient-Friendly

and Clinician-Approved

Hauppauge, NY – May 2015 –

Crosstex International introduces an innovative new addition to the company’s line of preventives:

ProGuard™ 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish. The primary uses of ProGuard: as a treatment for hypersensitive

teeth; to seal the dentinal tubules for cavity preparations or on sensitive root surfaces; as a cavity liner

under amalgam restorations.

More Effective & Longer-Lasting

“ProGuard’s smooth consistency and excellent flow characteristics make it easy to apply a thin coat to the

tooth surface while also allowing it to reach interproximal surfaces, ensuring full coverage” according to

Andrew Whitehead, Senior VP of Marketing/Business Development for Crosstex. “The other key factor is

ProGuard’s high substantivity,” he adds. “Once the varnish is applied, it will remain on the surface of the

tooth for a relatively long period of time, releasing fluoride in an efficient and effective way.”

Designed for Both Professional & Patient Satisfaction

Designed to provide an “ideal fit for the needs of both patients and clinicians,” ProGuard offers several

features that make application an easy, quick procedure for professionals and a more pleasant experience

for patients.

 

In clinician surveys, ProGuard earned points with dental professionals for its sheer ease of use. The product

is packaged in single-dose blister pack with a brush applicator, for easy set-up, application and clean up.

Once applied, ProGuard sets very quickly, even in the presence of saliva – requiring only a few minutes of

the clinician’s time for the entire procedure.

Once ProGuard is applied, the patient can resume their normal activities immediately. ProGuard’s

clear color makes it undetectable, its fast drying formula allows the patient to eat immediately and the

effectiveness on hypersensitivity can be felt in minutes. When treating patients for hypersensitivity,

98% of patients experienced a noticeable decrease or total reduction of sensitivity. The ease of use and

effectiveness make ProGuard an easy choice to treat patients.

ProGuard is gluten-free and sweetened with the naturally-derived sweetener Xylitol. ProGuard comes in

two “patient-friendly” flavors, mint (UFVPM) and melon (UFVPML). Each 50/Box.
