Toothpaste with glass beads treats cavities 3 hours

Tiny glass beads in toothpaste one day will be able to solve the problem of tooth decay and tooth sensitivity. Scientists have developed one of the most effective excipients for toothpastes over the last decade.

caries treatment

According to the diameter of the balls is not wider than a human hair. They contain calcium and fluorine - the major component of tooth enamel, is the protective layer of the teeth. The balls are specially designed to restore teeth that have been affected by caries. However, they deal only with those injuries, that is do not require sealing.

But apart caries treatment These beads solve the problem of tooth sensitivity that occurs due to the thinning of the enamel. Without it, the exposed dentin begins to overreact to hot or cold drinks and food, causing the characteristic pain. The beads protect the rights and from it. This invention has been made by scientists from Queen Mary University in London. A building material for the glass beads was calcium phosphate.

Once the toothpaste containing the balls in contact with the teeth, they migrate to the damaged enamel or where the gums start to expose the base of the tooth. The beads were then dissolved in a humid environment of the oral cavity, releasing calcium and phosphate. Preliminary clinical studies have shown that these substances form a new surface of the tooth in less than 3 hours. Completely dissolve the balls for 8 hours.

In trade there are already some toothpastes containing glass particles, but the beads of calcium phosphate British scholars dissolved in 8 times as fast as the enamel and form a higher rate. They contain more phosphate, which means that they treat tooth decay   more effective. (READ MORE)
