What is tooth decay and how does it affect your teeth?

Tooth decay 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 tooth enamel, the first signs of tooth decay - the dreaded white spots. Without treatment, caries can penetrate deeper into the tooth and lead to pain and serious dental problems.

The role of fluoride in caries prevention and alternative innovations

Fluoride plays a central role in the prevention of tooth decay and is known to strengthen tooth structure and promote the remineralisation of tooth enamel. Traditionally, fluoride is found in a variety of dental care products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes, as well as in professional treatments such as fluoride varnishes. These applications utilise fluoride to form a protective barrier on the enamel, which helps to 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 caries. This varnish is applied to the clean tooth surface, where it dries quickly and forms a long-lasting protective layer. This layer releases fluoride ions over a longer period of time, which actively contribute to the remineralisation of the tooth enamel and thus increase the teeth's resistance to caries.

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 hydroxyapatite or natural enzymes that mimic the natural protective function of saliva and strengthen the tooth surface. Such gels not only provide protection against tooth decay, but also promote the natural whiteness of teeth without the use of harsh 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. At the forefront of dental health, this treatment utilises innovative approaches to effectively combat tooth decay 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 tooth enamel. It is a fluoride-free treatment that is perfect for people who want or need to avoid fluoride.

The dental basis of Curodont Repair

Curodont Repair is based on advanced research in dentistry and uses the self-assembling peptide P11-4, a molecule that binds specifically to areas of demineralised enamel. This peptide is a product of cutting-edge biotechnological developments and has its roots in in-depth dental research conducted in Germany and Switzerland.

How Curodont Repair works

Once the P11-4 molecule has attached itself 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 and thus promotes remineralisation. Phosphate ions play a central role in this process by leading to the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals together with calcium, which is naturally present in saliva. These crystals are the primary building blocks of tooth enamel and are crucial for the restoration of tooth structure.

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 through the disappearance of white spots. These white spots are often the first visible signs of caries and can be treated effectively and sustainably by remineralisation.

Lysek and Alkilzy in dental research

Innovative companies are using advanced science, including Lysek and Alkilzy, to better understand and treat the mechanisms behind dental disease. This research is helping to further increase the effectiveness of products such as Curodont Repair and revolutionise dental treatments.

Curodont Repair in practical use

The application of Curodont Repair is a simple and quick process that can be carried out in a regular dental appointment. This makes it an attractive option for many clients looking for minimally invasive treatments. It is particularly effective in patients who show signs of initial caries and offers an excellent alternative to traditional methods of caries treatment.

Clinical studies and experience with Curodont Repair

The effectiveness of Curodont Repair has been proven in numerous clinical studies. Patients report a significant improvement in dental health and a reduction in caries lesions without the need for invasive treatments. Our own experience at ALPINE WHITE confirms the positive results: Many of our customers are impressed by the rapid and visible improvement of their tooth surface.
