UltraDEX Research Studies

There has been considerable research into the efficacy of the active ingredients present in the UltraDEX oral care range.

Clinical evidence for patients that suffer with bad breath:

• UltraDEX is proven to instantly neutralise VSCs, which are the root cause of bad breath, and is clinically proven to last for 12 hours1

Clinical evidence for patients prone to bleeding gums:

• UltraDEX is proven to show a significant reduction in the number of bleeding sites by up to 72% after using for 7 months2
• UltraDEX provides a 67% reduction in the number of periodontal pockets (from ≥ 4mm to ≤ 3mm) when using UltraDEX for an average of 3 months3

New UltraDEX Whitening:

• UltraDEX Whitening range with added hydroxyapatite not only restores natural tooth whiteness, so teeth look brighter and whiter, it also protects against sensitivity4
• The SensiShield™ technology in UltraDEX Whitening occludes open dentinal tubules and protects teeth by adding a layer, which favours remineralisation and acts as a protective shield against acid erosion5
