X-PUR Opti-Rinse Plus unique formulation includes Citrox®, which is a natural bioflavonoid complex. Apart from being all-natural, organic and hypoallergenic, Citrox® is very effective at killing bacteria and viruses at very low concentrations. It is a unique plant-based and patented antimicrobial bioflavonoid complex offering a powerful antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effect. Citrox® is biodegradable, safe to handle, eco-friendly, alcohol-free, does not contain synthetic fragrances or colourants, and is also free of GMO, petrochemicals and allergenic substances.

Health Canada Indication: Helps Prevent Plaque & Gingivitis
X-PUR Opti-Rinse Plus is not only a solution in your caries management protocol, but also for your periodontal patients. Tackling gingivitis in a profond way!

A Larger Bottle for the Same Price
The second enhancement includes an increase in the bottle size. The X-PUR Opti-Rinse Plus now comes in a 500ml bottle compared to a 473ml one, and for the same price!

A New Mint Flavour for the 0.05% Concentration
X-PUR Opti-Rinse Plus will now be offered in a delicious mint flavour specifically designed for the particular taste of adult patients.

CITROX®

Antimicrobial, Antiviral & Antifungal
This plant-based, patented specific complex of bioflavonoids binds with bacterial cell walls to affect extracellular and soluble proteins through hydrogen bonding which the bacteria and viruses need to survive.

XYLITOL

Reduces Cariogenic Bacteria Load
Bacteria that cause tooth decay are not able to metabolize xylitol, resulting in an absence of lactic acid and polysaccharide production.

CETYLPYRIDINIUM CHLORIDE (CPC)

Against Gingivitis
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that acts by penetrating the cell membrane, causing cell components to leak, which eventually leads to cell death.

HIGH STRENGTH SODIUM FLUORIDE (NaF)

Remineralizes tooth enamel, protect against caries
The fluoride ion binds with the calcium ion to form calcium fluoride, adding to the hydroxyapatite, thus making the teeth more resistant to acid dissolution.

Benefits

  • Proven equivalent in anti-microbial potency as Chlorhexidine oral rinse without the side effects
  • Antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal
  • Anti-caries - helps to remineralize tooth enamel
  • Efficient, multi-purpose, evidence-based oral rinse
  • Alcohol-free
  • Neutral pH
  • Sweetened with 10% xylitol for a delightful and refreshing taste
  • Unique patented formulation with Citrox®: specific antibacterial bioflavonoid complex

Indications

  • Anti-caries
  • Helps to prevent / reduce plaque and gingivitis
  • Helps to remineralize dental enamel (which helps against xerostomia)

What is CITROX®, and how does it work against infection in your patients’ mouths?

Research is starting to reveal the potential of mouthwashing procedures as an additional protection against viral and bacterial infections. Citrox® is one of the key ingredients of gargling solutions that helps fight them. But what is it really, and how does it work?

Orange in hand

Keeping the mouths of your patients free from infection affects not only their oral health, but also has long-term effects on their general, long-term well-being. While not meant as primary means of fighting infection, Citrox® is an important ingredient in several mouthwash solutions and provides additional protection against bacteria and viruses when it’s needed most, such as after surgery or during epidemics.

What is Citrox®?

Citrox® is a natural combination of organic acids, and bioflavonoids derived from bitter oranges. It has been designed to serve as a powerful antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal agent.

Slowly proving itself as an important ingredient in efficient mouthwash solutions, we believe that Citrox®, together with cyclodextrins, will play a crucial role in the future of oral healthcare. Health starts in the mouth, and using mouthwashes to protect the mucous membranes against harm can help lower the risk of your patients becoming infected and developing a range of serious non-communicable diseases and conditions.

How does Citrox® work against bacteria and viruses?

The effect of Citrox® largely comes down to the flavonoids in it.

The bioflavonoids bind to bacteria’s receptor sites, blocking the passages that bacteria need for feeding and emptying. Unable to sustain these processes, the bacteria essentially drown, killed by the flavonoid.

Orange in hand

Furthermore, unlike some other compounds used for infection control in dentistry, Citrox® is non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-carcinogenic and non-allergenic. It doesn’t stain teeth or alter food flavor, and it’s dermatologically tested, biodegradable, safe and eco-friendly.

When can Citrox® help?

Citrox® has been designed as an ingredient in oral care products, enhancing their healing and protective effects. Citrox®-enabled mouth rinses can help especially:

  • Before and after oral surgery
  • Against periodontal disease
  • Against candidal infections
  • Combined with other ingredients (such as chlorhexidine), serving as an important additional protection

In these situations, Citrox®-containing oral health products can form part of the prophylactic measures that you can recommend to your patients to help them keep their oral mucosa protected, helping reduce risk of infection.

In the end, it’s complex care of the mucous tissues what helps protect the patient from becoming infected. And with mouth rinse procedures being fast and easy to apply, we believe that in the future, they will become even more important for keeping your patients healthy – especially in situations when the mucosa is exposed to physical stress such as after surgical procedures or during viral epidemics.

Testimonials

I have lousy teeth. This product, along with avoiding added sugars in food, keeps my dental problems to a minimum. For people like me you need to get the .05. Fluoride.

- R. Caron, a patient

I learned about this mouthwash at my dentist after a really bad spate of cavities, crowns, and an extraction. I use it every night last thing and then do not wash out my mouth or eat anything. My dental appointments are having much better results. This is a must-have product for me now.

- Guitarwoman, a patient
