6 Abstracts with Research on NovaMin® to be Presented at the Prestigious IADR Conference, Miami Florida
March 25, 2009
For Immediate Release
NovaMin Technology, Inc., announced today that there will be a total of 6 abstracts with research about NovaMin® presented at the 87th General Session of the IADR April 1-4 2009 in Miami, Florida.
· In Vitro Inhibition of Oral Bacteria Growth by Novel Product
Principal Investigators: Anora Burwell and Alan Gibson (BioFilm, Ltd)
Summary: resorbable polymer strips deliver NovaMin® directly onto tooth surfaces and adjacent gum tissues and are effective at inhibiting growth of bacteria associated with caries formation and periodontal disease
· Sustained Calcium Ion and pH Release from Calcium Phosphate-Containing Dentifrices
Principal Investigator: Anora Burwell
Summary: dentifrices with NovaMin® provide and sustain conditions necessary for remineralization better than a dentifrice with Recaldent
· Potential Hypersensitivity Treatment Using Novel Application Method of NovaMin®-Containing Gel
Principal Investigators: Anora Burwell and Phil Houle (OroScience, Inc)
Summary: in vitro simulations indicate that using a tray to apply NovaMin® gel may provide the same relief of sensitivity as brushing with a NovaMin® toothpaste
· In Situ Root Caries Inhibition by Phosphosilicate and Fluoride Dentifrices
Principal Investigators: Peter Rechmann and John Featherstone (University of California San Francisco)
Summary: NovaMin performed the same as fluoride in an extremely harsh in situ root caries model and directly brushing with NovaMin® provided better protection than brushing around the test area with the same product
· Evaluating the Durability of Phosphoric Acid Promoted Bioglass-dentin Interaction Layer
Principal Investigator: Dr. Ahmed Bakry (Tokyo Medical & Dental University)
Summary: the mineral layer created on dentin following treatment with NovaMin® is incredibly resistant to mechanical challenge
· NMR Analysis Reveals Consumption of Malodorous Salivary Amines by Dentifrices
Principal Investigator: Dr. Martin Grootveld (University of Bolton, UK)
Summary: NovaMin® dentifrices and their supernatents are effective at combating molecules in saliva that contribute to bad breath
The results from these studies continue to illustrate the power of the NovaMin material in multiple applications while demonstrating its superiority and versatility over conventional products/technologies.
About NovaMin®
NovaMin addresses the rapidly growing, unmet oral care needs of adults and seniors. It does this by amplifying the natural biological defenses and repair mechanisms of the oral environment – resulting in teeth and gums that look healthier, feel healthier and are healthier.
NovaMin reverses the negative effects of time and age on teeth, combining essential minerals in their rare ionic form with saliva to form a new layer of tooth mineral. NovaMin, also known as Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate (INCI name) is a non-toxic compound made from elements which are naturally critical for bone and tooth mineralization.
