New study: BioMin showed the best remineralization in early enamel damage to primary teeth – better than Curasept and conventional fluoride toothpaste.
Enamel became harder, smoother, and more mineral-rich. Particularly exciting: BioMin could be a promising, non-invasive option in pediatric dentistry.
SUMMARY
The article provides an overview of how BioMin F compares to conventional toothpastes in terms of dentine hypersensitivity and remineralization. The main message is that BioMin F is not necessarily the fastest in immediate effect, but it has a significantly more sustained effect over time. In the summarized studies, BioMin F initially showed only a moderate reduction in sensitivity, but after several weeks, a stronger and more lasting improvement was observed as acid-resistant fluorapatite crystals gradually formed in and on the dentinal tubules.
The article explains that conventional sensitive toothpastes usually either rapidly reduce nerve sensitivity or temporarily seal the tubules. BioMin F, on the other hand, takes a different approach: the contained fluoride-containing bioactive glass (fluoro-calcium phosphosilicate) continuously releases calcium, phosphate, and fluoride over a longer period. This creates a mineral protective layer that not only helps with sensitivity but can also remineralize tooth enamel.
Particular emphasis is placed on the time-dependent effect: According to the overview, BioMin F is more suitable for patients who want long-term stabilization, rather than immediate, very rapid relief directly after the first application. The authors therefore see a potential advantage primarily in chronic hypersensitivity and early demineralization processes.
At the same time, the article is cautious in its conclusion: the results so far are promising, but more standardized long-term studies are needed to reliably compare efficacy with conventional products.
BioMin F apparently doesn't work fastest, but more sustainably: The article shows that the toothpaste can form a stable protective layer through the slow release of calcium, phosphate, and fluoride – exciting for sensitivity and remineralization.
