Description

Antivetis a one-visit treatment for the removal of brown stains caused by fluorosis and extrinsic stains caused by tobacco smoking.

The low-pH solution helps to separate the fluoride ions out of the fluorotic area. Following treatment with the enamel cleaning solution, a neutralizing solution is applied for 2 minutes.

Mode of Action :
The tooth surface is exposed to an acid solution by ionization by the fluoride absorbed in the
apatite crystals (stains). This reaction allows for the fluoride ions to separate from the fluoride
ions in the apatite crystals, forming soluble salts that are easily removed from the tooth enamel
surface. Once the stains are removed, a calcium hydroxide solution is applied to neutralize the
residual acidic solution left on the tooth surface. Lastly, the tooth is rinsed with water.

Key Specifications

Composition :

Acid Base (Antivet): It is hydrofluoric acid at a 21% concentration stabilized by an organic

tricarboxylic acid, with a controlled pH of <3, necessary to react with the fluoride ions to form

soluble salts. The organic and inorganic ions are extracted from within the fluorapatite crystals

through this ionization process which essentially allows the enamel surface to be cleansed

without damaging it.

Alkaline Base (Neutralizer): It is calcium hydroxide with a pH >12, which acts upon the

residual antivet solution on the tooth surface by way of a neutralizing reaction. At the same time, the calcium hydroxide seals off the enamel prisms and/or dentinal tubules on the tooth surface that have been uncovered by the friction of the cotton pellet.

Direction of use

A dental dam is first applied to isolate the teeth, after which the tooth is treated by applying the low-pH enamel cleaning solution to the tooth surface with a brush or cotton pellet, and gently rubbing the solution on the tooth until the stain is removed.
