Remineralization: CSP (calcium sodium phosphosilicate)
The second generation of calcium phosphate technology is made by NovaMin Technology Inc. This remineralization product has substantial independent controlled studies to prove its worthiness in this new remineralization market. NovaMin is a combination of calcium, sodium, phosphorous, and silica, which binds to the tooth. This product elevates oral pH to the 7.5 to 8.5 ranges, which is ideal for remineralization, allowing the calcium and phosphorous ions to enter the demineralized tooth surface. When calcium sodium phosphosilicate is contacted by saliva or water, hydroxyl carbonate apatite is formed, the same as tooth structure. Studies show NovaMin hardens enamel two times better than 5,000ppm fluoride toothpaste. It also enhances fluoride uptake by 50% and can be found in products with 5,000ppm fluoride.
NovaMin is found in many products including Sultan Healthcare's Topex Renew toothpaste, Dentsply's NuPro NuSolutions prophy paste and Nupro NUSolutions remineralizing and desensitizing toothpaste, OMNI's SootheRX Therapy, Oravive Tooth Revitalizing Paste (which has no fluoride content) and OSspray's Sylc air polish powder, which is 100% NovaMin. Sylc does not contain aluminum-an alternative for clinicians who are concerned about breathing many of the air polisher powders on the market. From RDH Magazine
