HybenX®
Oral Tissue Decontaminant

Boost periodontal healing with a simple and comfortable technique to eradicate all microorganisms in periodontal pockets

Professionals

Mechanism of action

When periodontal pathogens and biofilm are dehydrated, they become unable to function (denatured) and lift away from tooth surfaces. HybenX® is a professionally applied gel that uses an electrostatic charge to attract water from the pathogens associated with inflamed or infected oral tissues. This electrostatic action, called Desiccation Shock Technology (DST), dries out microbial pathogens, their protective biofilm and necrotic tissue, rendering them harmless and easy to remove. The instantaneous and complete removal of periodontal pathogens helps calm inflammatory mediators quickly, safely and effectively and speeds the natural healing process. HybenX® contains sulphonated phenols, which are easy to use - simply apply and rinse this non-antibiotic, non-systemic solution to oral decontamination above and below the gingiva

Benefits

  • Eradicates bacteria, biofilm and necrotic tissue
  • Inhibits infectious and inflammatory disease process
  • Single treatment to go from infected to healing state
  • Hemostatic
  • Non-systemic and antibiotic free

Favorite features

  • Instant results
  • Significantly softens calculus
  • Easy 10–30 second application
  • Cost effective: Not just for a single site but for the whole mouth
  • Reduced bleeding during scaling and root planing
  • High viscosity (at room temperature) for easy application, low viscosity (at body temperature) for easy rinsing
  • No antibiotic component, non-systemic
  • Does not harm healthy tissues
  • Safe on enamel, dentin, titanium and restorative materials

The science behind HybenX®

Conclusion from randomized, controlled clinical trial

“SRP plus the desiccant resulted in a greater reduction in clinical, microbial and inflammatory mediators compared to SRP alone.” (red complex bacteria)

Red complex bacteria (T. forsythia, P. gingivalis, T. denticola) mean counts (×105) in SRP + Hybenx vs. SRP alone at baseline, 30 days and 365 days

Before Before: Thick and firmly bound to root
After After: Dried and lifted away from root

Suggested directions for use

Peri-implants adjunctive soft tissue cleanser

  • Dry the implant
  • Apply HybenX® via cannula around the implant
  • Wait 10–30 seconds

Caries and crown preparation cleanser

  • Dry the tooth
  • Apply HybenX® via cannula into the cavity preparation or around the crown preparation
  • Wait 10–30 seconds
  • Remove HybenX® with suction and rinse with water until clear

Root canal cleanser

  • Dry the canals
  • Apply HybenX® into the deepest portion of the canals using the cannula, irrigating up to the top of the access cavity
  • Distribute using an endodontic reamer to work the HybenX® into the canals
  • Wait up to 60 seconds
  • Remove HybenX® with suction and rinse with water until clear

Periodontal adjunctive debridement cleanser

  • Dry the tooth
  • Apply HybenX® via cannula pre & post scaling and root planing where required. Supragingival and subgingival to the base of periodontal pockets
  • Wait 10–30 seconds
  • Remove HybenX® with suction and rinse with water until clear
