Questions about Dentasonic system

What is the IPC? How is it different from IPR?

IPC is Dentasonic’s way of defining the IPR treatment system, from Interproximal Reduction becomes Interproximal enamel Correction.

Why is important to follow the procedure's steps?

Following our prescription is important to perform a good IPC correctly, to avoid excessive enamel reduction, and to avoid injuring the patient.

Is IPC dangerous to the patient?

Our IPC system is absolutely NON-invasive for the patient, as our Strips are specially designed not to injure soft parts and for a more comfortable treatment, both for the patient and the Doctor.

Why is remineralization important?

The stripping process remove both the protective pellicle and interdental tooth structure.
Remineralising the surface is essential to protect against attack from bacteria contained in dental plaque and also to reduce risk of sensitivity and staining.
