Maintaining the safety of your dental practice

28 September 2020

Richard Thomas, CEO of Curaprox UK, discusses how dental practices can ensure the safety of their staff and patients after reopening. Keeping practice surfaces clean and disinfected is paramount to protecting the health of both patients and the dental team. Dental practices can take advantage of Citrox Protect to help prevent cross-infection and facilitate the delivery of exceptional dental care in a safe environment.

What is Citrox Protect?

Developed by leading British scientists from Citrox Biosciences, Citrox Protect is the world’s first natural, eco-safe solution that provides a 3D microbiota barrier designed to protect non-porous surfaces from cross-infection. Simply spray and wipe the product onto your chosen surface to effectively combat contaminants.

Citrox Protect combines silicon dioxide (SiO2) – otherwise known as “liquid glass” – with Citrox, which is a natural anti-microbial agent extracted from citrus fruits. The SiO2 creates a barrier to prevent micro-organisms from being absorbed by treated surfaces, whilst Citrox inhibits the growth of potentially harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and fungi.

To ensure a highly effective result, Citrox Protect offers multiple modes of action. For instance, it is designed to fill and seal the microscopic valleys and craters of treated surfaces, creating a smooth, hydrophobic coating that repels fluids for optimal moisture control. This also creates an anti-adhesive environment that can help minimise the risk of cross-contamination. Due to a formula rich in natural compounds, Citrox Protect is hypoallergenic without being toxic, corrosive, oxidising, mutagenic or carcinogenic.
