Gel for strengthening teeth Rox instructions for use

01.12.2019

ROCS gel (Rox) was created specifically to restore the structure of tooth enamel at home, without the help of a dentist. The main feature of the product is its versatility and effectiveness. The remineralizing drug can be used by young children, adults and the elderly. ROCS gel belongs to a special series, the creation of which was intended to provide high-quality care for the oral cavity and tooth enamel.

Regular use of the product provides a number of positive effects:

• strengthens teeth;
• whitens teeth;
• reduces the level of tooth sensitivity to various irritating factors;
• restores the natural whiteness and shine of teeth after plaque removal;
• improves the appearance of enamel after long-term wearing of braces, with fluorosis;
• effectively fights caries;
• restores microflora in the mouth.

Gel Rox is also called remineralizing. When it comes to remineralization of tooth enamel, this involves the process of restoring the level of essential microelements.

These include phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, carbon dioxide salts, fluorine and others. This beneficial composition is renewed throughout a person’s life. Often this process is disrupted under the influence of negative factors. Remineralization in dentistry is a therapeutic and preventive measure that has no contraindications or age restrictions.

This procedure is prescribed in several cases:

• lack of minerals resulting from a genetic failure;

• special periods when the level of minerals should be high: carrying a baby, adolescence, menopause;
• special sensitivity of enamel to low or high temperatures, foods containing high levels of glucose;
• carrying out procedures during which the enamel becomes thinner;
• mechanical injury to the tooth;
• aggressive effects on enamel of chemicals;
• active plaque formation on teeth.

Today, remineralization is the most effective method to combat tooth protection disorders. In the early stages of caries development, this procedure gives the best results. Rox contains all the necessary beneficial substances, so no additional means are required to increase the strength of teeth and protect against caries.

Compound

Gel Rox remineralizing contains the following components:

• calcium and phosphorus - help strengthen tooth enamel;
• magnesium – supports the interaction of active components;
• Xylitol is a reliable protection against infection and replenishes the balance of minerals.

A complex of three minerals has a positive effect on tooth tissue, helping to restore and strengthen them. All minerals easily penetrate the enamel and have a prolonged effect. Additionally, xylitol was added to the Rox series of preparations, which not only increases the effect of the mineral complex, but also has antimicrobial properties.

The complex is selected using a special technology, due to which, during use, a film is formed on the teeth, helping to protect the enamel for a long time after it is washed off.

After application, the gel forms a thin protective film on the surface of the teeth, due to which the enamel is constantly nourished with useful minerals. The gel does not contain fluoride, which means that it will not cause any harm to the body, even if a small amount enters the esophagus.

Full composition of Rox gel: Aqua, Glycerin, Xylitol, Hydroxyethycellulose, Calcium Glycerophosphate, Polysorbate-20, Aroma, Methylparaben, Magnesium Chloride, Hydroxypropyl Guar.

Modern means of professional remineralizing therapy

Modern means of professional remotherapy

Let's talk about a very interesting topic that raises many questions.

Remineralizing therapy (remotherapy) is a set of measures aimed at restoring tooth structure by saturating the enamel with microelements.

The main substances that participate in this process:

1. Calcium.
2. Fluorine.
3. Medical nano-hydroxyapatite.

What indications exist for remotherapy?

• Protection of teeth after professional oral hygiene.
• Initial forms of caries.
• Prevention of caries.
• Non-carious lesions (hypoplasia, erosion, wedge-shaped defects, increased tooth wear, etc.) - in this case as part of a complex treatment.
• Increased sensitivity of teeth (hyperesthesia).
• Microcracks and microdamage to enamel.
• Orthodontic treatment (before treatment, during and after).
• Teeth whitening (as a prevention of hypersensitivity and protection of tooth tissue).

Types of remotherapy:

1. Home

This is the doctor's prescription of special medications for use at home, depending on the specific clinical situation.

Sometimes combined with professional remotherapy.

Therefore, it is important to consult with your doctor to choose the optimal remotherapy regimen that is right for you and will allow you to achieve effective results.

It is also mandatory to carry out professional hygiene (removing plaque from the surface of the teeth) before starting therapy.

1. Professional

Conducted by a dentist in a dental clinic.

Professional preparations are used here, which require special application technology.

So, let's figure out what products are used for professional remotherapy.

As a rule, these are preparations of fluorine and nano-hydroxyapatite.

Fluoride preparations

They can come in various forms: gel, varnish, suspension or liquid.

Fluoride gel

The main ingredient is dissociated fluoride ion. The mechanism of action is based on a chemical reaction: fluoride ion interacts with hydroxide ions of tooth enamel, which leads to the formation of a more durable compound, thereby achieving a remineralization effect.

Fluorine also has an antibacterial and hyposensitizing (reduces hypersensitivity) effect.

Therefore, fluoride gels must be used after professional oral hygiene in order to protect the enamel until pellicle (a natural film covering the teeth, which forms after a few hours) is formed.

Also, such gels are used during orthodontic treatment (for the prevention of caries), with increased sensitivity of teeth, as well as in complex therapy with calcium preparations. The gel is applied to the teeth using special trays.

Suspensions and liquids

These drugs have two bottles.

In the first bottle: a liquid saturated with fluorine, copper, magnesium ions, in the second - a suspension of calcium hydroxide.

The mechanism of action is also based on a number of chemical reactions. As a result, demineralization of enamel is inhibited, remineralization occurs, and also has a bactericidal effect.

These products are able to penetrate deeper layers of enamel and are used for more serious damage. But this requires adherence to an algorithm for sequential application of the drug to achieve results.

Fluoride varnish

This is a quick-drying varnish that forms a film on the surface of tooth tissues, which well isolates enamel and, especially, dentin, which can release fluoride for a long time.

These forms of fluoride are most often used in the presence of non-carious lesions (wedge-shaped defects) accompanied by increased sensitivity.

Medical nano-hydroxyapatite

This is a specialized paste based on a high concentration of nano-hydroxyapatite - a synthesized substance whose chemical composition is identical to tooth tissue. The particles have a tiny size, which allows them to penetrate into the deeper layers of the enamel and integrate into its structure, which increases the remineralization effect (unlike fluorides, which work in more superficial layers).

Therefore, Apadent Pro is successfully used:

• After professional teeth cleaning.
• Before and after installing braces, after removing braces (when white spots often appear - areas of demineralization).
• Before and after professional whitening.
• In order to prevent enamel health.
• With increased demineralization during pregnancy.
• For children to prevent caries.
• For microcracks and enamel damage.

Apadent Pro is completely safe and has a short effective exposure period. Depending on the clinical situation, the effect may be noticeable after one application! But sometimes (for example, multiple white spots, severe damage to the enamel of carious and non-carious origin, cracks) several visits to the dentist or even the use of this paste at home as prescribed by a doctor are required to maintain the result. On average, the effect lasts about six months, again it all depends on the initial situation and individual characteristics.

This preparation is applied to the teeth using a special polishing rubber and requires a certain mode of rotation of the tip. All tooth surfaces are treated, including contact areas!

Each drug has its own advantages and will be optimal in a certain clinical situation. At the appointment, the doctor assesses the condition of the dental tissues and selects the necessary remotherapy regimen. Therefore, it is important to regularly carry out professional oral hygiene and preventive measures, which will help maintain a beautiful and healthy smile for many years!

In what form is it produced?

The Rox series includes 4 drugs produced in gel form. Each of them contains 4 essential components: calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and xylitol. They differ in a set of additional components.

Mechanism of action

Rox remineralizing gel has a main feature - a unique composition. The complex of minerals easily nourishes the enamel. At the same time, no fluoride was added to the composition, which made the product completely safe even for infants.

For decades, scientists around the world have been convinced that fluoride is a beneficial mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel. But today the opinion about this mineral has changed dramatically; recent studies have shown that if it is not added to dental care products, the effect is much better.

In addition, the Rox series gels have a number of other equally useful features:

• completely safe for health, even if swallowed;
• economical to use;
• suitable for the prevention of caries in young children;
• recommended for the prevention of caries in adults;
• approved for use during lactation and gestation;
• are able to restore the natural shine and whiteness of teeth;
• reduce the degree of tooth sensitivity;
• effective for medicinal purposes for caries that has already entered the white spot stage;
• brighten tooth enamel;
• restore the appearance of enamel that has already been damaged by fluorosis.

Rox remineralizing gel is simply irreplaceable for those for whom toothpastes and oral hygiene products containing fluoride are contraindicated. This category includes people who have a violation of mineral metabolism, suffering from diseases of the endocrine system, kidney problems, and various forms of osteoporosis.

Rox copes well with bacteria that cause infections, and they, in turn, provoke the development of caries. If you do not maintain oral hygiene, an environment favorable for the growth of bacteria is formed in it, which ultimately leads to the appearance of stone, caries and the destruction of teeth. Bacteria cause harm not only to teeth, but also to internal organs, because they easily attack connective tissue.

People who have autoimmune pathologies especially often suffer. It is this category of people who simply need to periodically undergo prophylaxis using the gel.

Indications for use

Strengthening gel for teeth "ROCS Minerals BIO" is suitable for family use. It can be used by people of all ages, starting from the first months of life.

The main indications for the use of ROKS Minerals BIO gel are:

• general prevention of caries and other dental diseases;
• protection against caries in the white spot stage;
• restoration of teeth after treatment with braces;
• the presence of visible signs of fluorosis, wedge-shaped defects, erosions;
• symptoms of tooth sensitivity;
• violations of the microflora of the oral cavity;
• desire/need to improve the appearance of teeth (restore shine and natural whiteness to enamel);
• mineral depletion of enamel, increased tooth fragility;
• unbalanced nutrition (diet, etc.), when dental tissues do not receive enough minerals from food.

In addition, this gel can be recommended for people undergoing radiation or chemotherapy courses. The product will help maintain dental health and prevent disruption of oral microflora.

Due to the absence of fluorine and its compounds in the composition of the product, ROCS “Minerals BIO” gel can be recommended for people who have visible signs of fluorosis or the risk of its occurrence (for example, with an increased content of this chemical element in drinking water, or in medications regularly taken).

Instructions for use

Rox remineralizing gel is applied to teeth brushed with toothpaste. At the same time, the paste should not contain fluoride. To evenly distribute the gel over the surface of the teeth, be sure to use a toothbrush. After the gel is applied to the teeth, you should try not to eat or drink anything for 30-40 minutes.

The gel should be used morning and evening for 2 weeks. Afterwards, a break must be taken and the course is repeated. Up to 3 courses can be carried out per year, and the duration of one can be increased to 4 weeks if the oral cavity is severely affected by caries.

Dentists advise that in order to make the effect of using the gel more pronounced, you should use a mouth guard. The gel is added to the mouth guard and placed on the teeth. After half an hour, it is removed; you cannot rinse your mouth; you must refrain from eating and drinking for 40 minutes.

For children, the mouth guard should be kept in place for about 10 minutes. The children's gel is perfect even for infants. It is applied to the teeth of young children to prevent caries. Even if a child swallows part of the gel, it will not cause him any harm.

On the contrary, studies have shown that not only the condition of the enamel improves, but also the condition of the entire oral cavity as a whole. The thing is that the composition of the gel has a detrimental effect on pathogenic microorganisms, preventing their reproduction.

Strengthening teeth with remineralizing gel Rocs and a little secret

Due to the fact that I received a lot of requests in personal messages to write about Gel Rox, as well as to reveal the secret of how to “tame” it, I decided to write this post. Follow me, please! So, what do we have in the source files: teeth with the thinnest enamel, and exposure of the necks of the teeth, thin upper frontal incisors, and little things - yellowness from the abuse of coffee and cigarettes, sensitive enamel, and something else :) My doctor is a woman slightly over 50, a former pediatric dentist - and I call her the Dental Goddess - on pain of refusing to treat my teeth, she banned seeds, nuts, everything hard, a categorical veto on apples, everything sour, such as lemons, sauerkraut, pineapples and God knows what else . To be honest, I have difficulty following the prohibitions, because... In general, I love food, and especially tea/lemon pie!.. In addition, the dentist strongly advised me to start using the ROCS remineralizing gel, in my case - constantly (by the way, of all the Rox products, my doctor praised only the gel). The treasured tube was purchased, the instructions were studied, the gel, as the reviews advised, was applied to the gums “with a soft toothbrush using massaging movements,” and... the nightmare began: profuse salivation, the entire drug was literally “washed out” from the mouth. I was puzzled: how to sit with the gel so that it heals, is not eaten, and does not drool like Pavlov’s dog?! So you need to buy a mouth guard. I started looking for “whitening trays” - and almost collapsed from the price, there simply aren’t any cheaper than 3000! And the economy must be economical. In general, I found the ideal, ingenious and cheap solution: a mouthguard... a two-jaw boxer! I think you can find such goodness everywhere. But it’s the two-jawed one - we need to treat ALL teeth with gel. My choice fell on the Adidas mouth guard, it cost 300 rubles, the Chinese no-name can be found for 100. Unfortunately, I threw out the box and instructions for it, but the mouth guard itself looks like this:

We prepare the mouth guard according to the instructions, namely: before use, immerse it in boiling water for 3-4 seconds (no more for Christ’s sake!!!), then for 1 second. put it under cold water, then put it in your mouth :) and it perfectly
under your jaw. By the way, I “digested” the mouth guard and held it for 15 seconds. in boiling water, and it was irreparably deformed... Not fatal, of course, but its appearance, as can be seen from the photo, is very sad. Mouthguard with gel: apply a thin layer of Rox gel on top and bottom, and place it in the mouth. Swatch of the gel (I apologize for the quality, but it’s difficult for me to photograph a transparent, colorless substance)):

All! No drool, no inconvenience, no missing (rather expensive!) Rox. And we sit with the mouthguard as expected, for 30-45 minutes)) The teeth are happy, you are happy, cleanliness, aesthetics, and beauty. I have been using Rox constantly, for six months now: unfortunately, the exposure of my necks is at a critical stage, more than 0.5 cm (!), and I don’t want to cover them with fillings yet. I can say that the gel reduces sensitivity, the teeth have become a little whiter and stronger. Of course, Rox won't rid you of bare necks or give you a Hollywood smile, but it does strengthen your teeth. The issue price is from 270 to 400 rubles. Sold in pharmacies. Important UPD: Natalia Alouette

advised to pay attention to Hydroxyapatite (a component of natural tooth enamel) and mix it with the gel to enhance the effect. I think this is what problem teeth need!

Contraindications

The main feature of the Rox gel series is that they do not contain such an element as fluorine. It is thanks to this that all products in this series have no contraindications. It is safe even if swallowed and is suitable for use in areas where the water contains large amounts of fluoride.

During lactation and pregnancy, women simply need additional nutrition with beneficial microelements, which are passed on to their children.

That is why Rox is recommended for women during this period of their lives. Numerous observations have shown that in women during pregnancy and lactation who use Rox gel, tooth enamel is significantly strengthened and the quality of the oral mucosa has improved. In infants, parents note special improvements during the transition from one type of food to another.

The gel can be harmful and lead to the development of an allergic reaction only for those who have special sensitivity to the components of the drug.

Side effects

Rox gel does not cause any unwanted effects even if part of it is swallowed. The composition of the drug is chosen so correctly that it does not cause an overdose. In rare cases, people with particular intolerance to the substances included in the composition may experience an allergic reaction. In this case, you should definitely stop using the gel, take an antihistamine and consult a dentist. He must find an alternative drug.

Gel Rox, which has remineralizing properties, is a modern cosmetic product that quickly helps restore tooth enamel damaged by caries, strengthen teeth and make them less sensitive. After completing the first course of use, which will take approximately 2 weeks, the first results will be noticeable.
