Dental Glycine “Perlyna +”: a New Standard of Gentle Cleaning

In modern preventive dentistry, glycine is considered the “gold standard” for working with biofilm. Thanks to the updated micronization technology with particle sizes ≥24 μm, this product has moved from the category of ordinary consumables into the class of high-technology instruments for preserving periodontal tissue health.

A revolution of softness: why particle size ≥24 μm changes the rules of the game

The main difference of “Perlyna +” lies in its delicacy. If soda (65 μm) acts like a “sandblaster,” glycine ≥24 μm works like a soft cloud that selectively removes biofilm without affecting enamel, dentin, or root cementum. This is the only type of powder officially approved for frequent use (once every 3 months) without the risk of enamel thinning.

Who is this powder designed for and why?

• For periodontists: Safe removal of subgingival plaque in pockets up to 4–5 mm deep.
• For dental hygienists (GBT protocol): Ideal for final polishing after removal of heavy deposits with calcium carbonate (“Perlyna K”).
• For patients with implants and veneers: Glycine does not scratch titanium, ceramic, or composite surfaces, preventing plaque accumulation on rough surfaces.
• For pediatric appointments: The safest option for a child’s first professional hygiene procedure.

Detailed technical characteristics of “Perlyna +”

Glycine powders are technologically complex products. “Perlyna +” demonstrates performance indicators that meet the requirements of Swiss hygiene protocols.

Advantages:

• Absolute mucosal safety: Even when the jet directly hits the gums, glycine does not cause bleeding or burning.
• Rapid dissolution: Unlike calcium carbonate, glycine dissolves completely, which significantly simplifies the aspiration stage (the suction system does not clog with sediment).
• Patient comfort: The slightly sweet taste of glycine is well accepted by children and does not require masking with flavoring agents.
• Portion packaging: 15 g is the ideal dose, ensuring material dryness and protecting equipment from moisture.

Disadvantages:

• Low efficiency against pigmentation: Glycine poorly removes heavy “smoker’s stains.” In such cases, it is recommended to first use “Perlyna K” (calcium carbonate).
• Consumption: Due to the small particle size, cleaning the entire mouth with moderate contamination may require the entire sachet (15 g).

Solutions addressing clinicians’ needs by specialty

• Periodontist: Use for biofilm disruption in furcation areas and deep fissures. This reduces bacterial load without trauma to soft tissues.
• Orthodontist: The best solution for patients with braces and signs of gingivitis. Glycine reduces inflammation through gentle massage and cleaning without damaging orthodontic wires.
• Dental hygienist: “Perlyna +” is your finishing touch. After soda or calcium powder, finish with glycine to “seal” micro-pores and give the patient a feeling of absolute smoothness.

Frequently asked questions from clinics

1. Can “Perlyna +” be used in any air-polishing device?
   Yes, ultra-dispersed glycine is compatible with all devices. Moreover, due to its complete solubility it is the safest option for internal equipment channels.

2. Is it suitable for cleaning the tongue and soft tissues?
   Yes, thanks to the delicacy of ≥24 μm particles, glycine can be used for gentle treatment of mucosal tissues during comprehensive professional cleaning.

3. What is the purpose of combining it with “Perlyna K”?
   It is a logical sequence: “Perlyna K” (calcium carbonate) removes the bulk of hard plaque, while “Perlyna +” (glycine) perfectly cleans the subgingival area and polishes enamel to a shine.

4. Does glycine cause allergic reactions?
   Glycine is an amino acid naturally present in the human body. Cases of allergy to pure glycine in dentistry are practically not reported.
