Remineralization: ACP (Amorphous Calcium Phosphate)
Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is an inorganic amorphous calcium phosphate technology made by combining soluble slats of calcium and phosphorous. ACP is a reactive and soluble calcium phosphate compound. ACP rapidly releases calcium and phosphate ions to convert to apatite and remineralize tooth structure. ACP has been shown in studies to decrease dentin permeability by 78%, thereby reducing sensitivity. Also, ACP has been shown to restore enamel luster and enhance fluoride delivery. ACP is found in Age Defying Toothpaste by Arm and Hammer. Premier offers ACP in its Enamel Pro prophy paste with fluoride, Enamel Pro Sodium Fluoride Varnish, and Enamel Pro 1.23% Non-Acidulated Fluoride Gel. Discus offers Relief ACP Oral Gel with the addition of sodium fluoride and potassium nitrate. The fluoride-added formulas precipitate hydroxyapitite, occluding dentinal tubules. From RDH Magazine.
