PAD technology overview
PAD™ stands for
Photo-Activated Oral Disinfection it improves, restorative success
in prophylaxis, periodontics, endodontics and restorative dentistry as
well as in the field of implantology e.g. peri-implantitis, by
eliminating all
species
of oral bacteria on demand, PAD™ is very effective in
stopping decay, in saving demineralised tissue and in encouraging
natural remineralisation.
 PAD™
high level disinfection is based on two components: an aqueous
solution of dilute, medical grade tolonium chloride (a vital stain)
and a red light system of a specific wavelength (635 nm) to activate
the PAD™ solution. Introduced into dental hard tissue, the PAD™
solution selectively targets and tags all bacteria. When the solution
is activated by the PAD™ light it releases singlet oxygen which
ruptures the cell membranes of bacteria killing them in seconds.
PAD™ solution selectively eliminates all bacteria and, unlike
other methods of disinfection, does not affect any other normal
tissue nor does it stain the gingiva or restorations.
Furthermore, PAD™ does not encourage the development of any
resistant species. The PAD high level disinfection is painfree
and without any side effects.
