GC Tooth Mousse

Water based, sugar free dental topical crè me containing RecaldentTM CPP-ACP ( Casein Phosphopeptide - Amorphous Calcium Phosphate) RecaldentTM 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 ( RecaldentTM) is an ideal delivery system for bio-available calcium and phosphate ions. The first product for professional use that contains RecaldentTM technology is GC Tooth Mousse. GC Tooth Mousse incorporating RecaldentTM promises to make an important contribution to protecting the oral environment in a wide range of situations where a mineral imbalance may arise. Advantages * Delivers RecaldentTM ( ACP-CPP) to restore mineral balance in the oral environment * Provides extra protection for teeth * Helps neutralize acid challenges from acidogenic bacteria in plaque and other internal and external acid sources * Tastes delicious and makes teeth feel smoother and cleaner Indications * Restoring mineral balance in patients with salivary deficiencies such as xerostomia or when proper oral hygiene procedures are difficult * Restoring balance after procedures such as tooth whitening, professional cleaning, rootplaning and curettage, as well as reducing any resulting dentine hypersensitivity * Research has also shown that RecaldentTM can transform the visual opacity of new white spots to a more natural ' tooth-like' translucency How to use 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.
