Two important abstracts presented to top clinical researchers and leading oral care manufacturers at the AADR indicate that NovaMin® containing fluoride varnishes and dentifrices not only have the potential to treat sensitivity1, but also have the potential to remineralize caries like lesions under both full and compromised salivary conditions2 Alachua, Florida (PRWEB) April 24, 2008 -- Two important abstracts presented to top clinical researchers and leading oral care manufacturers at the AADR indicate that NovaMin® containing fluoride varnishes and dentifrices not only have the potential to treat sensitivity1, but also have the potential to remineralize caries like lesions under both full and compromised salivary conditions2 This is a very important step forward for the oral care industry; this new breakthrough ingredient has been extensively proven to provide superior oral health benefits, such as sensitivity relief, dentin remineralization and periodontal health. Today, these studies revealed further the NovaMin anti-sensitivity benefits as well as the potential of NovaMin to enhance fluoride caries protection and efficacy. "The results from these studies continue to illustrate the power of the NovaMin material in multiple applications while demonstrating its superiority over conventional products/technologies", stated Dave Muscle, Director of Research and Development at NovaMin Technology, Inc. Salivary flow has a key role in the overall oral health and can affect young and old alike. Saliva is needed to flush the mouth to clear food debris that forms bacteria in plaque. It buffers the pH, helps digest food, prevents infection and makes it possible for you to chew or swallow. Fluoride has long been recognized as the industry standard for oral dentifrices. However, when salivary flow is compromised fluoride dentifrices require Calcium and Phosphorus minerals to remineralize the tooth surface for protection. Calcium and phosphorous are naturally found in saliva and they are usually responsible for repairing the tooth surface. When NovaMin comes in contact with saliva, it rapidly releases calcium and phosphorus to form a new layer of hydroxy apatite (HA) on tooth surfaces. NovaMin accelerates this process by increasing the saliva pH and supercharging the saliva with calcium and phosphorus ions. NovaMin particles also stick to the tooth surface and continue to release particles for several days, before the particles transform into HA. This combination of HA and adherence of NovaMin particles occlude the open dentinal tubules and reduce sensitivity. "It is quite an honor to have an oral presentation accepted at such a prestigious meeting as the AADR," stated Anora Burwell, Manager of R&D at NovaMin Technology, Inc. and presenter. The AADR is highly recognized by researchers and oral care experts as the leader oral health research and a trustworthy source of knowledge and emerging technologies for the improvement of oral health worldwide. About NovaMin® NovaMin addresses the rapidly growing, unmet oral care needs of adults and seniors. It does this by amplifying the natural biological defenses and repair mechanisms of the oral environment - resulting in teeth and gums that look healthier, feel healthier and are healthier. NovaMin reverses the negative effects of time and age on teeth, combining essential minerals in their rare ionic form with saliva to form a new layer of tooth mineral. NovaMin, also known as Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate (INCI name) is a non-toxic compound made from elements which are naturally critical for bone and tooth mineralization.
