Clinical Tips

• I used it to prepare a tooth bleaching, providing a surface that could more easily be whitened.
• Select cases with stains that Antivet is intended to treat. It does not work for all types of stains.
• Use a rubber dam to protect soft tissues, and rinse the area thoroughly after treating the stain.
• Monitor progress while you are removing the stain.

Description

Antivet is a one-visit treatment for the removal of brown stains caused by fluorosis and extrinsic stains caused by tobacco smoking. A dental dam is first applied to isolate the teeth, after which the tooth is treated by applying the low-pH enamel cleaning solution to the tooth surface with a brush or cotton pellet, and gently rubbing the solution on the tooth until the stain is removed. The low-pH solution helps to separate the fluoride ions out of the fluorotic area. Following treatment with the enamel cleaning solution, a neutralizing solution is applied for 2 minutes. Antivet is supplied with a 10 ml bottle of enamel cleaning solution and a 10 ml bottle of neutralizing solution, rubber dams, brush applicators, a palette for the solutions, and the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
