Grind Relief Pro

Product Description:

We recently received Grind Relief Pro. This is a moldable night guard indicated for clenching and grinding. What makes this night guard unique? It has a “Central Power Bar” designed to reduce clenching pressure. It can be fitted for either the maxillary or mandibular arch and can be remolded an unlimited number of times by reheating. Grind Relief Pro is sold exclusively to dental practices.

Initial Insights:

What were some of the thoughts of the Dental Advisor Initial Insights Team?

  • Very easy to mold to the patient’s dentition.
  • No impressions are needed. Patients would love this!
  • It is VERY pliable when first removed from the hot water, and it distorted; however, it was easy to mold back into the proper shape and fit onto the teeth.
  • Will this be comfortable for patients with a variety of occlusion classifications? Our patient’s premolars were not touching when her mandible was retruded. We are excited to evaluate more to find out!

Bäz Gumline Cleaner

Product Description

The Bäz Gumline Cleaner is a reusable cleaning tool designed to remove plaque along the gum line of the facial and lingual surfaces and stimulate gingival tissue. Each Starter Set contains one handle (fully assembled with a replaceable head cartridge) and a resealable pouch.

Initial Insights

  • This cleaner really helped my nine-year-old son remove the plaque along his gum line.
  • I would recommend this as an adjunct to patients that continually miss the same areas when brushing.
  • Could work nicely around implants and healing abutments. Patients with orthodontic brackets may also benefit from using this.
  • I was pleasantly surprised how well this worked in the hands of my 11-year-old son. He was able to see the “gross and disgusting” plaque (that he missed with the brush) come off his teeth.
  • It would be great to see some research pertaining to its usage and improved periodontal health.
