Hydrogen Peroxide<br />
Take-Home Tooth <strong>Whitening</strong><br />
<strong>Whitening</strong> In Minutes, Not Hours<br />
Take-home tooth whitening never has been<br />
faster, easier, nor more effective! Perfecta®<br />
Bravó is a patent-protected revolutionary<br />
hydrogen peroxide whitening gel that<br />
requires only 30 minutes of tray wear,<br />
one time daily.<br />
Hydrogen Peroxide— The Efficient<br />
Whitener<br />
Perfecta Bravó has been shown to deliver<br />
better whitening results in 1/6 the time of<br />
carbamide peroxide gels. The secret? First,<br />
hydrogen peroxide, the active ingredient in<br />
Perfecta Bravó and Ultra, dissociates much<br />
more rapidly than carbamide peroxide.<br />
Second, hydrgen peroxide gels break down<br />
into the specific intermediate compound<br />
that whitens teeth most efficiently: the<br />
perhydroxyl anion.<br />
Strong<br />
Perfecta Bravó hydrogen peroxide 9% is<br />
comparable to 30% carbamide peroxide.<br />
Perfecta Ultra hydrogen peroxide 6% is<br />
comparable to 20% carbamide peroxide.<br />
Avoid Thermal Sensitivity<br />
Thanks to a proprietary buffering agent,<br />
Perfecta Bravó is dispensed at a close to<br />
neutral pH. Water-based Perfecta Bravó<br />
also causes less dehydration than other<br />
anhydrous or glycerin-based formulas.<br />
These factors combine to virtually<br />
eliminate thermal sensitivity.<br />
Assure Patient Compliance<br />
The leading cause of treatment failure<br />
with take-home whitening is patient<br />
non-compliance. Perfecta Bravó assures<br />
almost universal patient acceptance and<br />
compliance due to short wear times, low<br />
sensitivity and fast results. Even the<br />
busiest schedule can accommodate<br />
Perfecta Bravó.<br />
Stable Gel<br />
For years, the main disadvantage of<br />
hydrogen peroxide gel has been the<br />
need for two-part mixes due to instability.<br />
Perfecta Bravó and Ultra, however, are a<br />
single-component, water-based hydrogen<br />
peroxide gel. This gel also has a shelf life<br />
of 24 months.<br />

<strong>Cosmetic</strong>/<strong>Whitening</strong><br />
Carbamide Peroxide<br />
Take-Home Tooth <strong>Whitening</strong><br />
Avoid Dehydration<br />
Perfecta® carbamide peroxide gels are formulated<br />
with a predominantly glycol base<br />
for minimal dehydration and sensitivity.<br />
Other gels use glycerin as a base. Glycerin<br />
tends to dehydrate the tooth, thought to be<br />
a leading cause of thermal hypersensitivity.<br />
Avoid Thermal Hypersensitivity<br />
A small percentage of patients may<br />
experience thermal sensitivity associated<br />
with whitening. By following a few simple<br />
guidelines, you can minimize or eliminate<br />
this side effect.<br />
Start Slowly<br />
Patients should wear the tray for<br />
only one hour the first day, then one hour<br />
twice daily for the first week. Overnight<br />
wear is not recommended due to a greater<br />
incidence of thermal sensitivity and tissue<br />
irritation; however, it is a convenience option.<br />
Lower Gel Strength<br />
Patients with a history of thermal sensitivity<br />
should use 11% gel for at least a week before<br />
moving on to a stronger gel.<br />
Reduce Wear Time<br />
If thermal hypersensitivity occurs, as a rule of<br />
thumb, reduce the wear time by 50%.<br />
Select The Right Gel Strength<br />
Perfecta 11%: Mild to moderate stains.<br />
Young patients, patients with yellow extrinsic<br />
stains, or patients with a history of thermal<br />
sensitivity. 11% is also used as the starter gel<br />
in the Perfecta Trio® system.<br />
Perfecta 16%: Severe stains, heavy tobacco,<br />
tetracycline. Patients with no history of<br />
thermal sensitivity. 16% is also used for<br />
maximum whitening in the Trio System.<br />
Perfecta 21%: Tetracycline stains, fluorosis.<br />
Dispense only to compliant patients with no<br />
history of thermal sensitivity. Give good<br />
instructions and frequently monitor<br />
treatment progress.<br />
Perfecta® Trio®<br />
Carbamide Peroxide<br />
Three gel strengths (11%, 13% & 16%) for<br />
minimal sensitivity and maximum results.<br />
Trio Patient Pak Contains:<br />
6 - 3cc syringes (two 11%, two 13%, and two<br />

and cosmetic patient pouch with mirror.<br />

Another option is to purchase Perfecta® 50<br />
Paks in different strengths. Begin a treatment<br />
with Perfecta® 11% and dispense higher<br />
strengths at weekly recall visits.<br />
Trio ® step-whitening technique<br />
For maximum whitening with minimal thermal hypersensitivity,<br />
Premier recommends the Perfecta Trio Step-whitening System.<br />
Guidelines for a typical 2-arch treatment:<br />
Week 1: Initiate treatment with 11% Starter Gel. Excellent whitening<br />
results with minimal potential for sensitivity.<br />
Week 2:<br />
Week 3:<br />
Transition to 13% gel to gradually increase whitening activity.<br />
This allows your patient to develop a tolerance to the higher<br />
concentration of carbamide peroxide.<br />
Finish with 16% gel for maximum whitening effects at the<br />
optimum point during treatment.<br />

PREMA®<br />
Enamel Microabrasion System<br />
PREMA® enamel microabrasion compound<br />
is a patented acid abrasive formulation used<br />
to correct superficial white, brown or multicolored<br />
“dysmineralization” enamel defects.<br />
Prema creates a plaque-resistant surface as a<br />
result of its enamel glazing ability. 1<br />
PREMA compound is applied with a 10:1<br />
gear reduction contra angle, on a low-speed<br />
handpiece, to safely remove a controlled,<br />
insignificant amount of superficial enamel.<br />
Enamel microabrasion does not recognizably<br />
alter enamel surface contours. However, it<br />
does permanently eliminate many developmental<br />
enamel coloration defects which do<br />
not penetrate deeply into the enamel surface.<br />
The compound is an ideal blend of specially<br />
formulated abrasive powder and a mild<br />
concentration of hydrochloric acid.<br />
Enamel microabrasion is different from<br />
bleaching techniques and is much more<br />
conservative than preparing the enamel<br />
and restoring the tooth with composite<br />
or veneers.<br />
