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
âACP indicate a 30% reduction in sensitivity
2 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.”
