3M Expands its Prevention Portfolio with New Varnish
ST. PAUL, Minn. – (June 1, 2017) –
3M, a
leader in fluoride varnishes, has launched a new fast-releasing
fluoride varnish in new flavors and a unit dose tray, to give clinicians
another option for their patient’s needs. 3M’s
new varnish complements 3M™ Vanish™ 5% Sodium Fluoride White Varnish,
which has been the number one fluoride varnish on the market for ten
years. 3M Vanish White Varnish is formulated to remain on teeth longer
for more effective protection; with extended fluoride
release, added tri-calcium phosphate and a durable coating. Although
longer fluoride contact is beneficial, some patients aren’t as compliant
during their treatments, so 3M created 3M Fast Release Varnish.
3M
Fast Release Varnish releases most of its fluoride in the first two
hours, so dental professionals can deliver quick protection to patients
who may not always follow their patient
care instructions. With 22,600 ppm sodium fluoride, a virtually
invisible smooth coating, and popular, fun flavors including caramel,
strawberry and mint, 3M Fast Release Varnish is an excellent choice for
patients who may require a shorter treatment time.
“My
go to varnish has been 3M’s Vanish™ White Varnish because it’s so
durable and the longer fluoride is in contact with the teeth, the more
effective it is,” said Kelli Swanson Jaecks,
RDH, MA. "However, some patients simply don’t like the taste or feel of
fluoride treatments, and tend to brush off or remove their coating too
soon. The new 3M™ Fast Release Varnish gives clinicians an alternative
for patients just like these. It has a fast
fluoride release and a nice smooth coating, so for certain patients, I
know I’m giving them the quick protection they need.”
