Transcripts of Video ContentThe following are transcripts of the audio from interviews with Professor Eric Reynolds on the benefits of RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP)
RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) is available in Gum and Mint Products. How long do you need to chew the gums/mints to have a beneficial effect on tooth remineralization? Our clinical trials using sugar free gum and sugar free mints with RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) have shown that if you use that product every day and in the trials we consumed the product 4 times a day, which for gum and for mint is considered normal consumption. So it was 4 times a day for a 2 week period, and in that 2 week period we got 20 to 30% of the mineral that had been lost from the tooth had been replaced, which was a very, very significant amount of mineral replacement in only a 2 week period. So it means that regular use of these products has the potential to significantly repair early stages of tooth decay. As RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) is derived from milk, what advice would you give to people with milk allergies? People with lactose intolerance don't have to be concerned with RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) because RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) does not contain lactose so it's completely safe for people with lactose intolerance. It's also quite safe for people with a range of milk sensitivities. It's only people that should be careful and cautious of using the product are those people that have a true allergy to milk protein casein. How do you see RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) fitting into a total oral care program? Sugar free gums and mints containing RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) can have a very important role to play in preventing tooth decay as part of the normal oral hygiene procedure. And that is using these products after meals and snacks to help prevent development of decay and even repair early stages of decay, but also after brushing your teeth, so that there's an interaction with fluoride and positive interaction with fluoride and even after leaving the dental surgery where there's been a professional application of fluoride to the teeth. Does RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) reduce/enhance the positive effects of flouride? We've shown now in a number of experiments that RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) works in a synergistic way with fluoride, it actually promotes the effect of fluoride by promoting the uptake and retention of fluoride on the tooth surface and also fluoride actually promotes the effect of RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) in repairing early stages of disease. So you end up with repaired early stages of disease with a fluoride form of tooth mineral which is actually more resistant to further acid challenge or further dental decay. So there's a significant additive effect between RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) and fluoride. |
