What is
it? |
Calcium
Sodium-phosphosilicate
A synthetic mineral composed of
calcium, sodium, phosphorous and silica, all elements
naturally occurring in the body.
Silica (glass) containing Ca
and PO is the driving mechanism that binds to the tooth surface.
|
Casein
phosphopeptide and amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP)
Casein phosphopeptide is a milk
protein peptide that is bound to amorphous calcium phosphate
The milk derived peptide containing
amorphous Ca and PO is the driving mechanism that binds to the
tooth surface.
|
Arginine bicarbonate and calcium carbonate
Arginine bicarbonate is an amino
acid complex found in saliva that is bound to calcium carbonate
|
ACP
ACP is inorganic amorphous calcium
phosphate, made by combining soluble salts of calcium and phosphorous
|
|
How does
it work? |
NovaMin releases high levels of Ca2+ and
P5+ into the oral environment, along with Na+ that increases
oral pH, creating the ideal conditions for rapid tooth
remineralization. The silica containing
Ca, PO and Na bind to the tooth surface.
The Na buffers the pH above 7
(the pH is needed to be above 7 to allow for the precipitation
of crystals onto the tooth surface)
The NovaMin will release rapid
and continuous deposition of a natural, crystalline hydroxyl-carbonate
apatite (HCA) layer that is chemically and structurally the
same as tooth mineral. No other man-made materials
is known to directly lead to the
formation of these crystals in the body.
NovaMin has also been shown to have
significant anti-microbial and
anti-inflammatory benefits.
|
The milk derived
peptide containing Ca and PO binds to natural plaque.
The amorphous calcium phosphate
that is associated with the protein is released during acidic
challenges.
Amorphous Ca and PO is highly
soluble, the same continuous acidic attacks will rapidly wash
the Ca and PO away.
|
The
arginine complex binds to the tooth surface and allows the calcium
carbonate to slowly dissolve and release calcium that is
then available to remineralize the tooth surface. |
Two phase system
containing calcium in one part and phosphate in another.
When the two salts are mixed,
they rapidly form amorphous
calcium phosphate that can
precipitate onto the tooth surface then dissolve into the saliva
to be available for tooth Remineralization.
Amorphous Ca and PO is highly
soluble so continuous acidic attacks will rapidly wash the Ca
and PO away.
