Bioactive remineralization formulation chemistry: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Enamel erosion and bacterial biofilm formation lead to costly dental procedures and chronic decay. These innovations engineer specific chemical delivery systems to stabilize tooth structure and prevent microbial adhesion.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Bioactive remineralization formulation chemistry?

Acidic dental enamel dissolution

(4)evidences

Acid-induced demineralization and structural degradation of dental hard tissues. Preventing mineral depletion restores structural integrity and reduces hypersensitivity.

Stannous ion chemical instability

(4)evidences

Stannous compounds in oral care are prone to oxidation and precipitation in aqueous environments. Preventing this degradation ensures the therapeutic bioavailability of the active ingredients.
