Tips and Tricks for Best Results
To maximize the effects of Oraqix, ensure it is applied at the base of the periodontal pocket in the following manner:
- Apply Oraqix on the gingival margin around the selected teeth
- Wait 30 seconds
- Fill periodontal pockets until the gel becomes visible at the gingival margin
- Wait 30 seconds and begin treatment
When administered, Oraqix should be a liquid. In its liquid state, an air-bubble should be visible and freely floating. If it has turned to gel, it should be refrigerated until it becomes a liquid. Do not freeze Oraqix. If you have trouble expressing Oraqix from the dispenser, it is possible the Oraqix may have warmed up too much during handling and turned to a gel. Try cooling the Oraqix cartridge and try again.
Purge the Air Bubble.
To ensure optimal dispensing performance, the air-bubble should be purged from the cartridge prior to use. To purge the air bubble, after loading Oraqix into the dispenser, hold the dispenser vertically and press the paddle 1-2 times.
To create a better guidance tip, the cap of the dispenser can be used to create a double bend in the applicator.
