Plak Gum Protection Gel Chlorhexidine 0.2% 30ml

Plak Gel is the gel of protection of gums to chlorhexidine 0.2%, the only active ingredient in the formula and present in the form chlorhexidine digluconate. It shows up in 30ml tube with applicator nozzle.

The chlorhexidine It's here in gel form for prolong the effect against plaque formation. The plaque it is the film of bacteria that continually reforms on the teeth and along the gum line, and reappears first where brushing is worst: around the fixed or removable prostheses and to orthodontic appliances, between hooks, margins and narrow spaces.

Whether chlorhexidine stays where it was placed depends on its electrical charge. It's a molecule cationic, that is, it carries a positive charge, and for this reason it binds strongly to the mucosa and tissues of the mouth. For the same reason it is absorbed very little: after use in the mouth no levels are detected in the blood. It's why chlorhexidine It acts only at the application site.

The gel form completes the same reasoning. A mouthwash is diluted in saliva and goes away with rinsing; a gel remains spread on the surface on which it was applied, and with it the chlorhexidine remains. It's the difference between two ways of getting the same substance into your mouth, and it's the reason this product comes in a tube and not a bottle.

What makes the product gel is thehydroxyethylcellulose, the thickener that gives consistency to what would otherwise be a liquid: it is the ingredient on which the fact that the gel remains where it is spread depends. The formula is short, ten items in all, and in addition to chlorhexidine they are mainly water and glycerin.

If chlorhexidine works only where it is applied, it matters where the gel lands, and that is the task of applicator nozzle: bring the gel to the gingival margin, the thin line where the gum meets the tooth or denture attachment, and in the spaces around clasps and margins, rather than throughout the mouth. The chlorhexidine it is in gel useful in case of inflamed gums around a denture and of plaque forming around the appliance.

Plak Gel is addressed to denture wearers fixed and mobile and to those who wear orthodontic appliances, and todaily hygiene of dentures: goes alongside the normal oral hygiene without replacing it. It is produced in Switzerland and is part of the chlorhexidine oral range Polifarma Wellness.
