What is recaldent?
Recaldent™ is the trademark name of a naturally occurring protein known as CPP-ACP (casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate). It is found in cows’ milk. The scientific research which led to the development of Recaldent™ began in the 1980’s.
How does Remineralizing toothpaste work?
You may not know, however, that using a remineralizing toothpaste can increase the mineral content of existing tooth enamel. Remineralization helps strengthen the entire tooth. It also repairs weak spots and makes teeth less sensitive to hot and cold.
What does MI Paste stand for?
Photo of MI Paste TubesMany Madison dentists recommend Minimal Intervention (MI) Paste as a non-surgical treatment for a number of dental symptoms.
What are Remineralizing agents?
Remineralizing agents have been broadly classified into the following: Fluorides. Nonfluoride remineralizing agents. Alpha tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and beta TCP (β-TCP) Amorphous calcium phosphate.
Does fluoride Remineralize?
Fluoride enhances remineralization. Fluoride speeds up the growth of the new surface by bringing calcium and phosphate ions together and is also preferentially incorporated into the remineralized surface.
What toothpaste has ACP?
The only ACP toothpaste you will likely be able to find on the shelves today is Arm and Hammer’s Complete Care Enamel Strengthening Toothpaste. However, ACP is also available in other dental products such as gels, varnishes, and mouthwashes.

Does MI Paste Remineralize teeth?
The paste is water-based and sugar-free. Since it’s a topical product, MI Paste is applied directly onto one’s teeth where it delivers calcium and phosphate in the form of CPP-ACP complex to remineralize i.e. replenish these minerals in order to strengthen user’s teeth.
Does MI Paste stop cavities?
If the demineralization process predominates, this carious lesion progresses to form a cavity. Remineralization (deposition of tooth mineral) can repair or arrest the caries lesion if caught in a timely manner. This can prevent cavity formation and the need to restore the tooth with a restoration.
