Product Description
Pola office+ - Advanced Tooth Whitening System
- The World’s fastest bleach, total treatment will take less than 30 minutes.
- Less chair time means increased patient comfort, satisfaction, improved productivity and profitability.
- The unique 37.5% hydrogen peroxide formula ensures fast release of the peroxide ions to begin the bleaching process.
No bleaching light required.
- Pola Office+ can be used with or without a bleaching light, as it does not require activation.
- While a light is not necessary, you certainly can use a bleaching light or a standard heat emitting curing light to accelerate the bleaching process and impress your patients.
Maximum comfort
- The neutral pH of Pola Office+ ensures maximum comfort during and after treatment.
- The shorter treatment time results in less patient discomfort and lower sensitivity.
Built-in desensitiser
- No separate desensitiser is required.
- Pola Office+ has unique built-in desensitising properties that inhibit post-operative sensitivity.
- Potassium nitrate, the key pain-reducing ingredient, penetrates the nerve endings by blocking transmission of sensitive nerve impulses to provide a calming effect.
Simple delivery
- No mixing is required. The dual barrel syringe system mixes as you apply the gel directly to the tooth.
- This ensures a consistent blend of freshly activated gel.
- The freshly activated gel maximizes the whitening effect.
- The fine applicator tip allows easy application, especially in tight spots.
Just one thin layer
- A thin layer of gel is all that is required.
- Use the tip to spread the gel ensuring all tooth surfaces are covered.
- The sticky gel formula adheres firmly to tooth surfaces maximising the bleaching effect.
Indications:
1. Whitening of discoloured vital teeth.
2. Whitening of discoloured non-vital teeth
Precautions:
1. Corrosive. Attacks eyes – protect eyes when using.

Tips:
1. Select appropriate candidate.
Note: Not everyone is suitable for in-office whitening e.g. patient with translucent teeth or in the Vita* C group.
2. Patient must have good overall health.
3. Seal all exposed roots and restorations.
4. Inform patient that results are not guaranteed as the removal of stains varies between patients.
5. Acid etching before treatment is NOT recommended.
6. Large diameter suction tips are not recommended as they can spread the gel to other areas.
7. Mild discomfort in teeth during treatment can be a common side effect.
8. If patient experiences sensitivity during light curing, move the tip slightly away from the tooth. If this doesn’t work, remove gel and rinse the affected area. Assess other possible causes.
9. Delay any esthetic restorations for 2 to 4 weeks after treatment.
10. Advise patient not to smoke, consume highly coloured, hot or cold foods or beverages for at least 2 days.
11. Treat any post-operative sensitivity with a desensitizing gel or toothpaste.
12. Prescribe Pola Day or Pola Night to maintain brightness if desired
INSTRUCTIONS FOR NON-VITAL TOOTH WHITENING:
1. Determine and record pre-operative shade. Please follow this Vita* shade guide arrangement according to degree of brightness:
B1•A1•B2•D2•A2•C1•C2•D4•A3•D3•B3•A3.5•B4•C3•A4•C4
2. Isolate tooth/teeth undergoing whitening using a rubber dam. Ensure the dam fits tightly at the cervical margin. Note: If a rubber dam is not used, cover approximately half of the adjacent vital teeth with 3-4mm thick layer of Gingival Barrier to insulate from heat discomfort of the curing light.This is done when one tooth is being whitened non-vitally.
3. Open lingual access to pulp chamber and remove all composite, base material and gutta percha 2-3 mm apical to the CE junction. Place a glass ionomer/zinc phosphate base, at least 1 mm thick to ensure a barrier between the “sealed” root canal and whitening gel.
4. Place the Pola Office+ gel into the opened pulp chamber and onto the labial surface.
5. Leave gel on/in for 8 min (Optional: curing light may be used at this stage, please refer to light manufacturers recommendations) NOTE: If using a curing light and treating inner and outer surfaces, 2 curing lights can be used (one on each side of tooth) to activate Pola Office+.
6. Suction off the gel.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until desired shade is achieved.
8. After the last application, suction and wash the gel off.
9. Record the final shade.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR VITAL TOOTH WHITENING
1. Determine and record pre-operative shade. Please follow this Vita* shade guide arrangement according to degree of brightness: B1•A1•B2•D2•A2•C1•C2•D4•A3•D3•B3•A3.5• B4•C3•A4•C4
2. Clean teeth with ONLY a flour based pumice.
3. Place cheek retractors and then cover exposed lip surface with petroleum gel.
4. Dry teeth and apply Gingival Barrier to both arches, slightly overlapping enamel and interproximal spaces.
5. Light cure in a fanning motion for 10-20 seconds until Gingival Barrier is cured. 6. Firmly attach a mixing nozzle to the Pola Office+ syringe away from patient. Dispense a small amount of gel on to a mixing pad until a uniform blue gel is extruded.
7. Using the nozzle as a guide, directly apply a thin layer of gel to all teeth undergoing treatment. A thin layer will help prevent the gel from running.
NOTE: It is best not to lift the nozzle when moving from tooth to tooth. Use a continuous motion.
8. Leave gel on for 8 minutes (Optional: a curing light may be used at this stage, please refer to light manufacturer’s recommendations).
9. Suction off using a surgical aspirator tip.
Note: It is normal for a residue layer of gel to remain on the surface of the teeth.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 three times (optional 4 times).
11.After the last application, suction all the gel off, then wash and apply suction.
12. Remove Gingival Barrier by lifting it from one end.
13. Record the final shade.
