BIOACTIVE GLASS (NOVAMIN )

BIOACTIVE GLASS containing calcium sodium phosphosilicate that the glass particles release calcium and phosphate ions intra-orally to promote  remineralization, Nourishes the teeth with essential calcium and phosphorous ions needed for the natural self-repair process of the teeth.

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 bioactive glass containing tooth paste ( 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

when NovaMin contacts water or saliva (during tooth brushing, in this case), it releases fully-active ions of calcium and phosphorus. These ions are identical to those present in normal, healthy saliva .

bioactive glass containing toothpastes can be used for DENTINAL HYPERSENSITIVITY
