Swedish term

nya P

Swedish to English Medical Medical: Dentistry erosion, etc.
These are transcripts from a video (I have only the 'script'), not brilliant quality, but I've no idea what P are.
Example: (question presumably to a dentist) Skulle du Hur ofta ska patienterna använda nya P?
Does anyone have any idea what this could stand for, bearing in mind the document concerns enamel erosion through acidic food and drink, brushing teeth, etc.?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry about this - it then says 'man kan använda nya P två gånger per dag. Det rekommenderar vi. Som den enda tandkrämen. Perhaps the name has been left out on instruction to the transcriber to avoid product placement.
Helen Johnson (asker) Nov 13, 2006:
Good grief, to make it more confusing, slightly lower down it says you can use new S, you can use new P as your daily toothpaste.
Helen Johnson (asker) Nov 13, 2006:
In case it helps (it might be a name for a brand of mouthwash perhaps?), this comes further down: P är bra mot erosioner därför att den har ett högre fluortal, vilket gör att den lindrar besvären.

New P (short for product name not yet made public)

S and P here seem to be abbreviations for new product names that have not yet been made public. As an attorney, I remember working with such abbreviations on IPOs and other sensitive or confidential material.
Something went wrong...
