HybenX Oral Tissue Decontaminant 2 × 1 mL Syringes

Mechanism of action

When biofilm and periodontal pathogens become desiccated, they are no longer able to function as a biofilm, and can be easily removed from oral structures with a rinse. HybenX® is a professionally applied gel that utilizes an electrostatic charge to attract water from the pathogens associated with inflamed or infected oral tissues. This electrostatic action, known as 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, speeding up the natural healing process. HybenX® contains sulfonated phenols, making it easy to use. Apply and rinse this non-antibiotic, non-systemic solution for oral decontamination above and below the gingiva.

Benefits

• Eradicates bacteria, biofilm, and necrotic tissue
• Inhibits infectious and inflammatory disease processes
• Single treatment transitions from infected to a 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
• Does not harm healthy tissues
• Safe on enamel, dentin, titanium and restorative materials

Main ingredient

Sulfonated phenols

Package includes

• 2 × 1 mL syringe (available in gel or liquid)
• 2 × blue supragingival tips
• 2 × clear subgingival tips

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)²

Suggested directions for use

Peri-implants adjunctive soft tissue cleanser

1. Isolate and dry the implant
2. Apply HybenX® via cannula around the implant
3. Wait 10–30 seconds
4. Remove HybenX® with high volume suction and rinse with water until clear

Caries and crown preparation cleanser

1. Isolate and dry the tooth
2. Apply HybenX® via cannula into the cavity preparation or around the crown preparation
3. Wait 10–30 seconds
4. Remove HybenX® with high volume suction and rinse with water until clear

Root canal cleanser

1. Isolate and dry the canals
2. Apply HybenX® into the deepest portion of the canals using the cannula, irrigating up to the top of the access cavity
3. Distribute using an endodontic reamer to work the HybenX® into the canals
4. Wait up to 60 seconds
5. Remove HybenX® with high volume suction and rinse with water until clear

Periodontal adjunctive debridement cleanser

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