Opalescence 15% PF Regular Patient Kit

Clinical Overview

Opalescence™ PF 10% Regular is a take‑home whitening system formulated with 10 % carbamide peroxide in a high‑water, viscous gel enhanced with potassium nitrate and fluoride (“PF” formula). It delivers effective whitening with minimized sensitivity and enamel protection, designed for custom trays and guided by dental professionals.

Key Benefits

• Gentle yet effective: 10 % carbamide peroxide balances whitening efficacy with reduced sensitivity due to PF formulation.
• Sticky, viscous gel: Stays securely in custom trays, preventing soft-tissue contact and optimizing contact with tooth surfaces.
• High water content (~20 %): Prevents tooth dehydration and reduces shade relapse.
• Flavor: Regular (neutral): Ideal for patients preferring no flavoring.
• Flexible wear time: Suitable for 8–10 hours overnight or shorter daytime use per clinician instruction.
• Complete kit: Includes whitening toothpaste, tray case, and shade guide to support compliance and patient education.
• Certified vegan, gluten‑free, kosher: Ensures suitability for diverse patient populations.

Kit Contents

• 8 × 1.2 mL syringes of Opalescence PF 10% Regular gel (~1.5 g each)
• 1 × 28.3 g Opalescence Whitening Toothpaste
• 1 × tray storage case
• 1 × shade guide

Usage Guidelines

• Application: Express a bead of gel (~½ syringe) from molar to molar on the facial side of custom tray. Wipe off excess before seating.
• Wear time: 8–10 hours or overnight is standard; shorter daytime wear is acceptable based on sensitivity.
• Frequency: Typically worn daily for 5–10 consecutive nights.
• Aftercare: Remove tray, brush teeth, clean tray with soft brush and water, and store in case. No immediate rinsing to preserve fluoride.

Indications

• At‑home whitening under dental supervision
• Treatment of intrinsic or extrinsic discoloration (e.g. aging, staining, tetracycline, fluorosis)
• Maintenance or follow-up after in-office whitening
• Pre-restorative whitening before veneers or composite restorations
• Patients preferring neutral flavoring and slow-release bleaching protocols

4. Advise overnight wear (8–10 h) or daytime wear per prescription. Do not exceed recommended duration.
5. Upon removal, brush teeth and rinse mouth; clean tray thoroughly and store dry.
