Cavex ProphyPaste

Stains, plaque and bacteria are important contributors in the development of gingivitis, periodontitis and cavities. Therefore, professional removal is an important part of maintaining good oral health. Especially for this Cavex ProphyPaste was developed, based on many years of experience in paste technology and providing dental professionals the best possible product for prophylactic treatments. The paste is highly effective in the removal of deposits and discolorations thanks to the unique mix of different silica grains. Cavex ProphyPaste is available with two different RDA properties: Regular and Fine.

Cavex ProphyPaste Regular has a higher abrasiveness with an RDA of 130 to 150. Therefore it is perfect for thorough cleaning, while still maintaining a smooth finish. It comes in a light blue color with a refreshing mint flavor.

Cavex ProphyPaste Fine has a lower abrasiveness with an RDA of 50 to 60. Therefore it is perfect for the gentle cleaning with a high polishing effect and very well suitable for use on implants, crowns and bridges. It comes in a pink color with a pleasant cranberry flavor.

  • FAQ

  • FAQ

  • What does the RDA value represent?

    RDA (Relative Dentine Abrasivity) indicates how abrasive a toothpaste is for the tooth surface and dentin. This value helps dental professionals find the right balance between effective cleaning and maintaining healthy teeth.

    Understanding RDA values:

    0 to 70: Low abrasivity

    71 to 99: Medium abrasivity

    101 to 150: Abrasive

    151 or higher: Very abrasive

    In Europe, a maximum RDA value of 250 is recommended, while in the US, values above 200 are discouraged. Cavex ProphyPaste offers a safe margin within these guidelines.
