A Breakthrough in the Science of Remineralization

Now, oral mineral imbalance can be restored with RECALDENT™ (CPP_ACP). RECALDENT™ (CPP_ACP) is derived from the milk protein, casein. For many years it has been known that milk has a tooth protective effect. Recently, research from the University of Melbourne, Australia has shown that this activity is due to a part of the casein protein called Casein Phosphopeptide(CPP) which carries calcium and phosphate ions in the form of Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP). Calcium phosphate in an amorphous non-crystalline state. RECALDENT™ (CPP_ACP) is therefore an ideal delivery system for bio-available calcium and phosphate ions.

When RECALDENT™ (CPP_ACP) is added to the oral cavity, the “sticky” CPP part of the CPP-ACP complex binds readily to the enamel, biofilm and soft tissue delivering the calcium and phosphate ions exactly where it is needed, when it is needed. Its incorporation into the salivary pellicle also seems so significantly reduce the adherence of certain plaque bacteria. The free calcium and phosphate ions then move out of the CPP, enter the enamel rods and reform the apatite crystals. This process is called remineralization.

Numerous studies have proven the effectiveness of RECALDENT™ (CPP_ACP) in preventing and reversing early caries lesions often seen as white spots. RECALDENT™ (CPP_ACP) is capable of occluding open dentinal tubules to eliminate dentinal hypersensitivity.

MI Paste™ with RECALDENT™ (CPP_ACP) inside
MI Paste™ is the first product for professional use to contain RECALDENT™ (CPP_ACP). It is a water-based, sugar-free crème which is applied topically to the tooth surface or the oral cavity. The following case presentations demonstrate the versatility of MI Paste.

Clinical Application

Preventive

• Reduce dental caries in high risk patients
• Reduce erosion in patients with reflux or other disorders
• Reduce decalcification in orthodontic patients

Repair of enamel

• White spot caries and orthodontic decalcification
• Fluorosis
• Pre/post teeth whitening

Desensitization

• Sensitive dentin in dental erosion
• Exposed root surfaces after professional teeth cleaning.
