The active
substance of BOROSAN is the “rising” oxygen,
produced by its components in watery solution and in
contact with the buccal mucosa.
Oxygen exerts a germicide action, oxidizing all sensitive
components of the bacterial protoplasm (probably enzymatic
systems that are active in a reduced form). Anaerobic organisms
are also destroyed by a high oxygen concentration in its
environment; consequently, BOROSAN is a bactericide for them.
In addition to the quickness with which it dissolves and
produces oxygen, BOROSAN leaves an extremely beneficial cationic
residue of alkaline reaction as a result of its decomposition,
since it neutralizes the characteristic acidity of the buccal
cavity with infection, putrefaction or fermentation condition.
The oxidant action of BOROSAN comes together with another
deodorant action; hence its usefulness to eliminate bad breath
caused by these pathologic conditions.
The effervescence produced by the oxygen released in the
mouth also helps removing detritus from inaccessible regions.
Its flavoring and aromatic substances give the patient a
fresh and pleasant feeling.
It is indicated as auxiliary treatment for pyorrhea, gingivitis
and other buccal infections caused by germs sensitive to
active oxygen.
It is recommended as buccal-pharyngeal antiseptic and deodorant
for cases of halitosis (bad breath).
BOROSAN is available in 2 grams sachets, hermetically sealed
to guarantee quality and correct dosage.
It is not recommended using BOROSAN during very long periods.
Indications for its use shall be provided by the odontologist. |
