Sylc® is designed to provide a prophylaxis treatment for dental enamel and to physically occlude dentin tubules for the management of sensitive teeth. Sylc® is a dry powder (calcium sodium phosphosilicate), composed of elements that occur naturally in the body’s hard tissues (Ca, Na, Si, P, and O). When exposed to an aqueous environment, Sylc® undergoes a rapid surface reaction, allowing it to physically adhere to exposed dentin and to physically occlude tubules. Within a short period of time, essentially all of the Sylc® reacts to form hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA), which is chemically similar to natural tooth mineral.
In addition to the clinical benefits of cleaning, desensitising and protection, Sylc offers an easy, pleasant experience for both patients and clinician.
Sylc uses round and dense particles of 45S5 glass which are beneficial for both clinician and patient, providing a simple and pleasant treatment. This unique physical structure of Sylc means less soft tissue irritation and less messy aerosol.
Sylc has been specially formulated with excellent flow properties to be kinder to your patients by reducing irritation during application.
Mechanism of Action
Sylc’s protective and soothing ability comes from 45S5 glass.
45S5 glass is calcium sodium phosphosilicate, which seeks out and forms a tooth-like layer over vulnerable areas of the tooth where dentine is exposed.
When combined with saliva or water, Sylc forms hydroxycarbonate apatite crystals (HCA) that increase the natural protective and repair mechanisms of saliva.
Unlike traditional desensitising varnishes or pastes, Sylc provides superior relief from painful hypersensitivity without unsightly discolouration or unpleasant taste or feel.
