Course Summary
BioMin® F is a new generation of bioactive glass specifically optimised as a toothpaste additive. It features significant improvements on previous generations, such as NovaMin, the active ingredient in many sensitivity relieving toothpaste brands. An Italian study by Dr. Huda Hussain, Prof. Suhail Majid Jan, Dr. Roobal Behal suggests it may be more effective than NovaMin.
BioMin has developed a range of calcium phospho-silicates for use as additives in remineralising toothpastes to help reduce tooth decay and dentine hypersensitivity. The compositions are protected by a family of patents.
