Phocal fluoride disks are formulated for the prevention of interproximal caries and treatment of demineralization. They are designed to fit directly into interproximal sites and deliver a concentrated dose of fluoride to arrest the progression of caries and enhance remineralization. Once positioned interproximally, the disks soften and expand to form a gel that dissolves in 10 minutes. The fluoride effects of Phocal disks are reported to last two to three months. Each disk weighs 4.5 mg and contains 1.23% fluoride ions; disks are available in two versions: - Phocal Apf (acidulated phosphate fluoride) disks contain 0.103 mg of sodium fluoride and 0.009 mg of hydrogen fluoride. They are designed to induce an optimal low pH and clean/etch tooth surfaces to facilitate deep penetration of fluoride while stimulating the remineralization process. - Phocal pHn (non-acidic sodium fluoride) disks are indicated for patients with ceramic crowns or composite restorations as they are less acidic and will not etch these materials. They contain 0.122 mg sodium fluoride and are also designed to induce fluoridation and enhance remineralization. Each package contains 20 disks individually sealed in foil blister packs. Phocal was evaluated by 20 consultants in 207 uses. This product earned an 86% clinical rating. Clinical Observations
