Flairesse Bleaching Gel: Gentle on teeth, big on confidence
Medical Flairesse Bleaching Gel is an important building block in the gentle and effective aesthetic treatment of developmental enamel opacities that can occur in the permanent teeth of children and adolescents.
Esthetically treating the symptoms caused by developmental enamel opacities
Developmental enamel opacities such as fluorosis and MIH are particularly problematic in childhood, since the opacities are visible on the anterior teeth.
In young people especially, visible tooth discoloration can have a significant impact on self-confidence, general satisfaction, social relationships and overall quality of life.1
Studies show a positive effect through combined treatment using home bleaching gel and resin infiltration for fluorosis and thus an improvement in self-confidence and self-esteem.2
Effective bleaching without the unnecessary sensitivity
Flairesse Bleaching Gel enables gentle bleaching thanks to low active ingredient concentrations of just 5% or 10% carbamide peroxide (CP). It was specially developed for use as a medical home-bleaching gel in combination with Icon Smooth Surface for the minimally invasive treatment for symptoms caused by developmental enamel opacities and is an approved medical product for young patients.
Comparisons of highly concentrated in-clinic bleaching gels and milder home bleaching gels have demonstrated that less concentrated products cause fewer sensitivities and are more widely accepted by users.3
In a study, the 5% CP product was associated with even less hypersensitivity than the 10% CP product.4

FLUOROSIS
Depending on the severity, 25% to 100% of the enamel surface can be affected. The appearance of the lesions can range from tiny white spots or stripes to dark brown spots or even rough, pitted enamel. The tooth may present irregular, defined or diffuse opacities and abnormalities.

Flairesse Bleaching Gel: gentle whitening for a carefree smile
Medical Flairesse Bleaching Gels with 5% and 10% carbamide peroxide enable gentle whitening. They meet the material properties required by DIN EN ISO 28399 with just one hour of exposure time per day over the course of ten days.
Carbamide peroxide slowly breaks down and releases hydrogen peroxide, making the Flairesse Bleaching Gel less aggressive and gentler on teeth and gums. This feature makes it ideal for home whitening with the help of a tray.
The longer exposure time with this method and the use of Flairesse Bleaching Gel are therefore associated with an overall gentler shade correction process – a decisive factor, especially when it comes to treating developmental enamel opacities, like fluorosis.
The infiltration method using Icon Smooth Surface is a useful addition to help restore natural smiles for young patients.
DentaMile bleaching trays and Flairesse Bleaching
Gel: a strong team for first-rate results
For tooth whitening with Flairesse Bleaching Gel, we recommend using DentaMile 3D-printed bleaching trays from DMG, the characteristics of which are significantly superior to vacuum-formed trays. One of the key elements of the DentaMile bleaching tray is the gel reservoir. A precise reservoir edge seal prevents the Flairesse Bleaching Gel from spreading to the sensitive gums, protecting them from harm. These product properties can only be achieved with the help of 3D printing. This ensures efficient and gentle bleaching.
Perfect interaction: Icon infiltration after bleaching for an optimum overall result
The use of a bleaching gel containing carbamide peroxide reduces the brownish parts of organic protein structures. As a result, the teeth are visually whitened overall. However, in the case of developmental enamel opacities, the porous enamel has a different refractive index than the surrounding healthy enamel, meaning that white spots often remain visible. For a harmonious overall appearance, minimally invasive yet effective infiltration with Icon Vestibular after bleaching treatments is a logical and often essential addition to the treatment of enamel opacities – with maximum preservation of the tooth substance.
Back to a natural smile in just three steps
- Pre-treatment of the affected site with an etching gel
- Application of Icon Infiltrant – a highly liquid resin
- Penetration of the infiltrant deep into the porous enamel through capillary action and light-curing
