BRIX3000®
A gel that when applied to the tooth completely removes carious tissues in a chemo mechanical way without rotary instruments. It contains an enzyme that has bactericidal, bacteriostatic and anti-inflammatory properties and proteolytic properties that help soften and break down decayed tissue without destroying the underlying healthy collagen fibers.
Riva Star Aqua, SDI Limited, Australia
A solution that contains 44,800 ppm F and 253,870 ppm Ag. It acts as a fluoride storage for the acid challenges, while inhibites demineralization of hydroxyapatite crystals and preserves collagen from degradation in demineralized tissues.
