Immediate Results

BEFOREAFTER

How does it work? GC Tri Plaque ID Gel contains sucrose and pigments (blue and red) that are able to penetrate and stain the plaque biofilm.

An innovative plaque disclosing gel that identifies new, mature and acid producing biofilms

When a plaque biofilm is sparse, the blue pigment

is easily washed off.

When a plaque biofilm has matured, its

structure is dense, so both the blue and red pigments are trapped.

The sucrose in GC Tri Plaque ID Gel will be metabolised by any acidogenic bacteria

within the plaque biofilm. The resulting acid produced lowers the plaque pH (<pH 4.5) and this makes the red pigment

disappear.
