iM3 – SANOS Companion Animal Veterinary Dental Sealant

Comments Off

CLINICAL INFORMATION

One of the biggest challenges for animal dental care is keeping the gingival sulcus clean. Dental problems are often caused by plaque at the gingival sulcus and lead to irreversible periodontal disease. Therefore, veterinary dental cleaning is essential for dogs and cats. However, plaque starts to reattach to the teeth within hours after a dental cleaning if no take-home dental care is administered afterwards.

Unfortunately, client/owner compliance with instructions for daily brushing is approximately 1% This is where SANOS® veterinary dental barrier sealant can help. SANOS® is designed to extend the life of a dental cleaning when applied immediately following a professional dental cleaning. SANOS® can best be described as a self-hardening liquid bandage device that helps and aids in gingival and oral health.

Importantly, no take-home follow-up application is required by the client and one application lasts up to 6 months. The SANOS® application is put in the hands of the professional to make sure the patient receives the application correctly and in a timely fashion.

When applied as directed, SANOS® can sometimes be mistaken for plaque along the gingival margin. Eating/chewing habits can change SANOS® appearance along the gingival margin over time. The thick appearance of applied SANOS® will become a thinner film over time as the non-toxic solvents wash out of the polymer.

SANOS® is for use after every professional dental cleaning to help protect the “difficult to reach areas” such as the caudal teeth. SANOS® is for prevention of plaque and tartar in the gingival sulcus, not the visible cosmetic area of the crown. SANOS® will remain under the gingival margin and continue to work for extended periods of time.

CANINE & FELINE STUDIES

NOTE: Be sure to apply a thick film to any observed trouble spots such as the carnassial upper 4th premolar 208 and upper 3rd premolar 207. Compare gingival margin at the upper 3rd/4th premolar 207 in photos:

KEYS TO SUCCESS FOR A DENTAL CARE PROGRAM

Start preventive care young.
Dental wellness must be emphasized in every office visit.
Increase interval of wellness visits with severity of periodontal disease.
Discuss full anesthetic dentistry with puppy/kitten owners to promote prevention and have a professional dental cleaning performed when recommended by your veterinarian.
Entire staff must be on the same page.
Set goals in your practice to promote dental care.
