Dosage

DIRECTIONS Directions For Use: IPR procedure: Dispense IPR Glide directly to the interproximal tooth surfaces or to IPR cutting instruments. Perform IPR procedure and replenish IPR Glide as needed. Rinse teeth with water. Inform patient not to swallow IPR Glide. In-Office Post IPR Renewal: Rinse teeth with water, air dry and apply IPR Glide directly to teeth surfaces where IPR was performed. Have patient spit out excess IPR Glide and inform patient to keep surfaces dry for 30 minutes avoiding food and liquids. Aligners may be worn to prevent saliva contamination.

Place aligners in mouth and wipe off any excess IPR Glide using a tissue. Allow IPR Glide to remain on teeth for 5-10 minutes, then remove aligners and spit out any excess. Keep surfaces dry for 30 minutes avoiding food and liquids.
