What makes this product stand out?
Clinpro 5000 delivers a high concentration of fluoride (5000 ppm) plus exclusive functionalized tri-calcium phosphate (fTCP) to strengthen enamel and reverse early demineralization. Its spearmint flavor and tube format enable patient acceptance and straightforward daily use under professional guidance.
Key advantages include:
- Prescription-strength formulation accommodates patients at elevated caries risk
- 1.1% sodium fluoride (5000 ppm fluoride ion) delivers almost 5 times the strength of OTC brands
- Exclusive functionalized tri-calcium phosphate (fTCP) enables optimal fluoride, calcium, and phosphate delivery
- Spearmint flavor encourages compliance with the daily home care regimen
- Low-abrasion formula protects exposed root surfaces and provides gentle whitening
What is this product made of?
Clinpro 5000 dentifrice combines 1.1% sodium fluoride (5 mg fluoride ion per gram) with an exclusive functionalized tri-calcium phosphate (fTCP) ingredient for enhanced remineralization in a neutral pH base. The combination of fluoride with calcium and phosphate (components found naturally in saliva) promotes mineral uptake into enamel and strengthens tooth structure.
At-a-glance comparison:
- Prescription fluoride (5000 ppm) vs. OTC toothpaste (1000-1500 ppm): prescription products deliver higher fluoride levels for elevated caries risk patients
- fTCP-enhanced formula vs. standard fluoride: fTCP makes calcium and phosphate available with fluoride at the tooth surface for enhanced remineralization throughout the lesion
This combination enables more effective preventive care in patients where standard toothpaste does not provide sufficient fluoride exposure.
What is it used for?
Clinpro 5000 dentifrice prevents and controls dental caries as part of a professional preventive plan. It strengthens enamel, remineralizes early lesions, and complements clinical caries management strategies. Indicated for use in a treatment plan for patients at high risk for caries.
Common applications include:
- High-risk patient caries prevention as part of a professional program
- Enamel strengthening in patients with demineralization or white-spot lesions
- Post-treatment remineralization following clinical procedures
- Daily home care replacement for conventional toothpaste
- Exposed root surface protection with low-abrasion formula
