About prophy paste
Prophy paste is the abrasive paste a rubber cup or brush carries onto the tooth to remove debris during a cleaning. The FDA regulates it as an oral cavity abrasive polishing agent, a Class I device (21 CFR 872.6030). Its contents are similar to a toothpaste: a review lists binder, humectant, colouring agent, preservatives, fluoride, flavouring and abrasive grades from coarse to fine. For over half a century the most common polishing method has been rubber cup and pumice, with a paste of flour of pumice, glycerine and colour additive.
Pastes are classified into fine, medium and coarse grades based on their abrasive agents. One review gives the particle sizes as fine at 1 to 45 microns, medium at 74 to 105 and coarse-grade at 74 to 177. Some pastes also contain fluoride, amorphous calcium phosphate or desensitizing agents. Sodium or stannous fluoride might be added to the pumice mix for a desensitising effect.
What to look at when choosing a prophy paste
Grit: a review notes fine-grit pastes offer a gentler polishing effect, while coarse pastes effectively remove heavy stains but may increase surface roughness. A review also notes the abrasive particles should become less aggressive under load, to minimise abrasion and surface roughness of the dental hard tissues.
What controls the result: a review names rotation speed, abrasiveness of the paste, pressure applied with the handpiece and duration.
How it is applied: a laboratory study found the same paste reduced surface roughness when applied with a rubber cup but increased it when used with a brush.
What it is used on: a laboratory study found a prophylaxis paste left fine irregularities on enamel and coarse regular scratches on dentin.
Fluoride content: the ADA states that fluoride prophylaxis paste alone is not considered by the FDA or the ADA an effective method to prevent dental caries.
How often: a review notes polishing agents are used for stain removal as a selective procedure, and that not every patient needs it, especially on a regular basis.
