Cavity Regeneration
Learn more about Curodont Repair in this blog post, the revolutionary treatment from Switzerland that stops cavities naturally and without drilling. We explain how this innovative method works, explore the scientific foundations, and show how Curodont Repair strengthens enamel and promotes long-term dental health. Whether you have experience with cavity treatments or simply want to prevent them, this post offers valuable insights and useful tips.
What is cavities and how does it affect your teeth?
Cavities is one of the most common dental diseases worldwide and occurs when the tooth surface is attacked by acids from bacteria in the mouth. This leads to the loss of minerals in the enamel, the first signs of cavities – the dreaded white spots. Without treatment, cavities can penetrate deeper into the tooth, causing pain and serious dental problems.
The role of fluoride in cavity prevention and alternative innovations
Fluoride plays a central role in the prevention of cavities and is known to strengthen dental tissue and promote the remineralisation of enamel. Traditionally, fluoride is found in a variety of dental care products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes as well as in professional treatments like fluoride varnishes. These applications use fluoride to form a protective barrier on the enamel that helps ward off acid attacks and reduce mineral loss.
Fluoride varnish: A proven method in dental practice
In dental practice, fluoride varnish is often used to provide concentrated protection against cavities. This varnish is applied to the clean tooth surface, where it quickly dries and forms a long-lasting protective layer. This layer releases fluoride ions over a long period, actively contributing to the remineralisation of enamel and thus increasing the teeth's resistance to cavities.
Fluoride is known to cause a rather superficial remineralisation, halting the cavity lesion. When fluoride formulations are used in combination with good oral hygiene, inactivation of early cavity lesions has been observed in ~35% of cases.
Dental gel: An alternative to traditional methods
As part of these innovative approaches, a special dental gel is often used that contains alternative active ingredients such as hydroxylapatite or natural enzymes that imitate the natural protective function of saliva and strengthen the tooth surface. Such gels not only offer protection against caries but also promote the natural whiteness of the teeth without the use of aggressive bleaching agents or fluoride.
Curodont Repair: A breakthrough in caries treatment
Curodont Repair, developed by Vvardis, formerly Credentis AG, marks a turning point in dental technology and treatment. As a top product in the field of dental health, this treatment uses innovative approaches to effectively fight caries without drilling. The key to the effectiveness of Curodont Repair lies in the revolutionary principle of Guided Enamel Regeneration, which promotes the natural regeneration of enamel. It is a fluoride-free treatment that is perfect for individuals who want or need to avoid fluoride.
The dental basis of Curodont Repair
Curodont Repair is based on advanced dental research and uses the self-assembling peptide P11-4, a molecule that specifically binds to areas with demineralised enamel. This peptide is a product of cutting-edge biotechnological developments and has its roots in profound dental research carried out in Germany and Switzerland.
How Curodont Repair works
After the P11-4 molecule has attached to the demineralised areas of the tooth, it initiates the formation of a biomatrix. This matrix serves as a kind of template that supports the natural reconstruction of the enamel, thus promoting remineralisation. Phosphate ions play a central role in this process by contributing to the formation of hydroxylapatite crystals together with calcium that is naturally present in saliva. These crystals are the primary building blocks of enamel and are crucial for the restoration of tooth substance.
The contribution to remineralisation
The remineralisation promoted by Curodont Repair is a dynamic and efficient process. The treatment not only stops the progression of early caries lesions but also helps to strengthen the structure of the tooth and improve its aesthetic appearance by eliminating white spots. These white spots are often the first visible signs of caries and can be effectively and sustainably treated through remineralisation.
Lysek and Alkilzy in dental research
Innovative companies use advanced science, including the fields of Lysek and Alkilzy, to better understand and treat the mechanisms behind dental diseases. These studies help to further increase the effectiveness of products such as Curodont Repair and revolutionise dental treatments.
Curodont Repair in practical application
The application of Curodont Repair is a simple and quick process that can be carried out in a regular dental session. This makes it an attractive option for many customers looking for minimally invasive treatments. It is particularly effective for patients showing signs of initial caries and offers an excellent alternative to traditional methods of caries treatment.
Clinical trials and experiences with Curodont Repair
The efficacy of Curodont Repair has been demonstrated in numerous clinical studies. Patients report a significant improvement in dental health and a reduction in carious lesions without the need for invasive treatments. Our own experiences at ALPINE WHITE confirm the positive results: Many of our customers are impressed by the rapid and visible improvement of their tooth surfaces.
A recent randomised, controlled study compares Curodont Repair with traditional fluoride varnish in the treatment of early carious lesions. The study showed that Curodont Repair not only promotes remineralisation but also significantly reduces the progression of carious lesions. After six months, the group treated with Curodont Repair had a 60% lower likelihood of caries progression compared to the fluoride varnish group. These results suggest that Curodont Repair is a more effective option than fluoride varnish alone, especially in the early stages of caries.
Another study examined the ability of Curodont Repair to remineralise deeper layers of carious lesions. It was found that treatment with Curodont Repair forms a scaffold structure that supports natural mineralisation by saliva, thus enabling deeper remineralisation of the enamel.
