Opalescence 10% PF Mint Patient Kit

Clinical Overview

Opalescence™ PF 10% is a professional-grade take‑home whitening system using 10 % carbamide peroxide in a viscous, high‑water gel (≈20 %) with patented PF formula (potassium nitrate + fluoride). The gel reduces sensitivity, supports enamel remineralization, and maintains shade stability while remaining seated securely in custom trays.

Key Benefits

• Effective, low‑sensitivity whitening: 10 % carbamide peroxide delivers noticeable shade improvement with minimal sensitivity due to PF formulation.
• Sticky, viscous gel: Prevents migration out of trays, ensuring even contact and optimal whitening efficiency.
• Water‑rich formulation: 20 % water content prevents tray dehydration and shade relapse.
• Flexible wear time: Compatible with 8–10 hour overnight wear or daytime sessions of shorter duration.
• Complete kit with patient essentials: Toothpaste, tray case, and a shade guide included to support clinician-supervised use.
• Certified vegan, gluten‑free, kosher: Broad compatibility for diverse patient populations.

Kit Contents

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

Usage Guidelines

• Application: Fill custom tray with approximately half‑syringe per arch (molar‑to‑molar bead).
• Wear time: 8–10 hours or overnight for standard use; shorter periods acceptable based on patient tolerance.
• Frequency: Typically 5–10 consecutive overnight/nighttime sessions.
• Post-use: Remove trays, brush teeth—no immediate rinsing needed to retain fluoride effect. Clean tray with cursor and store in provided case.

• Suitable for patients with moderate sensitivity or enamel erosion risk
