Tooth Mousse may help to:<\/p>\n\n
Water based, sugar free dental topical cr\u00e8me containing Recaldent\u2122 CPP-ACP (Casein Phosphopeptide – Amorphous Calcium Phosphate)<\/p>\n\n
Recaldent\u2122 is derived from the milk protein, casein. For many years it has been known that milk and its derivatives have a tooth protective effect. Recently, research has shown that this activity is due to a part of the casein protein called Casein Phosphopeptide (or CPP), which carries calcium and phosphate ions ‘stuck’ to it, in the form of Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (or ACP). This complex of CPP-ACP (Recaldent\u2122) is an ideal delivery system for bio-available calcium and phosphate ions.<\/p>\n\n
The first product for professional use that contains Recaldent\u2122 technology is GC Tooth Mousse. GC Tooth Mousse incorporating Recaldent\u2122 makes an important contribution to protecting the oral environment in a wide range of situations where a mineral imbalance may arise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
When GC Tooth Mousse is applied to tooth surfaces, the CPP-ACP molecule binds to biofilm, plaque, bacteria, hydroxyapatite and surrounding soft tissue localizing bio-available calcium and phosphate. Saliva enhances the effectiveness of CPP-ACP and the flavour helps stimulate saliva flow. Tooth Mousse works quickly, within 2-5 minutes, but the longer CPP-ACP is maintained in the mouth the more effective the result.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
A casein derived peptide, with added calcium and phosphate. It provides a phosphate and calcium reservoir when included within dental plaque and on the surface of the tooth. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is made by combining soluble salts of calcium and phosphorous. Calcium and phosphate ions are released when the pH drops during an acid attack, to maintain supersaturated surroundings with respect to hydroxyapatite and as a result reducing demineralization and increasing remineralization. <\/p>\n\n
CCP-ACP has a buffering effect on the acids produced in dental plaque and therefore has applications in the control of caries (tooth decay), especially uncontrolled root caries. It can be delivered to the tooth surface in a variety of ways such as chewing gum, lozenges, topical cr\u00e8me, mouth rinses, toothpaste, and as an additive in glass ionomer cement restorative material.
