Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) December 15, 2004 -- Xlear, Inc., a leading
manufacturer of xylitol products, today announced that its SpryTM Infant Tooth
Gel has been recognized as a 2004 Top 100 product by Dental Products Report
(DPR), a leading dental industry publication. The tooth gel was recognized in
DPR’s annual “Trends in Dentistry” issue published in December. Over the course
of a year, DPR features an average of 1,000 new products. The Top 100 products
are determined by the response they generate from the publication’s readers and
their innovation as determined by the publication’s editors.
“When our
Infant Tooth Gel appeared in DPR earlier this year, we were very impressed with
the response we received from dentists across the country,” said Brent McKinley,
vice president of corporate development for Xlear. “Xylitol-based products
continue to grow in popularity as more people learn about the unique dental
benefits of the natural sweetener. Our Spry Dental Defense System, which
includes the tooth gel, is a growing line of xylitol-rich dental products, which
can help combat bacteria in the mouth and help prevent cavities.”
Spry
Infant Tooth Gel is an all-natural gel used for application on the teeth and
gums of infants and toddlers. The gel is sweetened with 100 percent xylitol, an
all-natural sweetener found in fruit, vegetables and birch trees. Clinical
studies have shown that when used as part of proper oral hygiene and dental
care, xylitol can help reduce cavity-causing effects by as much as 80 percent.
In addition, xylitol has also shown to:
• Inhibit
the ability of cavity-causing, plaque-forming bacteria to adhere to teeth;
• Reverse early cavity formation;
•
Reduce dental plaque formation;
• Reduce gum tissue
inflammation;
• Reduce ear infections by up to 40 percent;
• Reduce the amount of cavities in children when their
mothers consistently used a Xylitol rich product during and after their
pregnancy; and
• Minimize tooth scarring and puffy gums
that can occur during orthodontic treatment.
DPR is considered the
product information leader of dental publications. More than 150,000
subscribers, most of which are U.S.-based dentists, rely on DPR to keep them
up-to-date on what products are available. A recent blind survey shows that more
than three-quarters of dentists find DPR the most useful and overall preferred
publication for dental products, supplies and/or equipment.
