Recognising Your Plaque

How old is your plaque?

GC Tri Plaque ID Gel™ is a chair side motivation test which helps educate patients on plaque that remains on the teeth after brushing. It allows them to easily visualise these areas where they should concentrate and improve their brushing and flossing routine. It is an innovative plaque disclosing gel that identifies new, mature and acid producing bio-films in three colours

  • Red/Pink - new plaque, less than 48 hours
  • Dark Blue/Purple - mature plaque, greater than 48 hours
  • Light Blue - extra high risk plaque

How does it Work?

GC Tri Plaque ID Gel contains sucrose and pigments (blue and red) that are able to penetrate and stain the plaque biofilm.
