2.6 Application
The use of the product might lead to discolouration of the teeth. Following the
treatment, the teeth are absolutely clean and all of the dental pellicle (cuticula
dentis) is removed. The dental pellicle is restored only some 2 to 3 hours later
due to the protein content of saliva. During this time, the teeth are not naturally
protected from discolouration.
▶ Tell your patients not to smoke, drink tea or coffee and not to consume any
other discolouring foods for 2 to 3 hours after treatment.
