Curodont™ Repair employs the clinically proven and award-winning ‘Monomer-Peptide 104‘ technology to bring about guided enamel regeneration within early, non-cavitated enamel lesions. When applied, this technology penetrates until the very depth of the carious lesion. Once inside and triggered by the acidic environment of carious lesions, the intelligent peptide monomers assemble to form a matrix, which resembles the natural enamel matrix. This matrix then attracts calcium and phosphate ions from the saliva and promotes the formation and deposition of new hydroxyapatite crystals, essentially reversing the mineral loss seen as a result of caries.
Curodont™ Repair, owing to its low viscosity and high affinity to hydroxyapatite, has been found to reach to the depth of early carious lesions and bring about remineralization. Other known remineralising agents, such as fluoride, have been known to bring about a more superficial remineralization leading to arrest of the carious lesion. With fluoride formulations, accompanied by good oral hygiene, inactivation of early carious lesions has been seen to be ~35%, while that with Curodont™ Repair, inactivation of caries has been observed to be over 80%.* Schmidlin et al. observed that Curodont™ Repair was able to restore the hardness of enamel at a depth 8 times greater that was possible with fluoride varnish.
Natural enamel formation in primary and permanent teeth requires a few months to a few years, respectively. As Curodont™ Repair employs the X+GER technology, which mimics Nature to regenerate enamel, it requires at least 4-6 months to demonstrate discernible remineralization.
Curodont™ Repair has no known side effects and can safely be utilized in children. Regular dental appointments to detect caries in the earliest stages and their drill-free management using Curodont™ Repair is recommended.
