Lately there are new products emerging that when applied to teeth encourage the teeth to regrow. So far the technology has appeared in tooth paste and chewing gums and will soon be soon and more and more products.
Periproducts launched its new tooth regenerating toothpaste in October 2007. And Recaldent chewing gum which regenerates teeth is now the fastest growing gum company in Japan.

Toothpaste that Regenerates Teeth
Novamin was a new breakthrough in tooth paste. This new toothpaste is not only curtails sensitivity problems but also enables teeth to regrow to fill in small cavities. Scientists in various countries have developed differing technologies that produce similar results to deaden sensitivity and recalcify teeth, problems that have increasing significance as populations age. However, NovaMin repairs the tiny holes in teeth that allow the pain to happen, instead of just covering the sensation of pain.
NovaMin is a made from the same bioactive material used in the most advanced bone regeneration material, which is available only to surgeons and has been used in over a million successful surgeries. This material has now been adapted for use in everyday oral care products to revitalize your teeth - producing teeth that are less sensitive, cleaner, whiter and healthier than possible with old technologies like fluoride.
It differs from market leader Sensodyne in that it doesn't just deaden a tooth's nerve endings but it actually builds a calcium shell to protect the nerves from painful hot and cold liquids. Periproducts has licensed NovaMin technology from a Florida firm of the same name and hopes to be the first company to have it formulated in a retail brand in the UK later this year.
SootheRx ®: Marketed in North America by 3M/Omnii, this product is dispensed by dentists to their patients for management of dental sensitivity. After an initial daily use period, this product only needs to be used one-time per week while providing profound relief of sensitivity.
DenShield™: Similar to SootheRx, this product is offered to patients through dentists throughout Europe and Asia. The product is marketed locally by leading dental products distributors.
SensiShield™ Marketed in the EU by Periproducts as an advanced formula suitable for sensitive teeth. The product is sold via pharmacies and dentists.
Chewing Gum That Regenerates Teeth
Recaldent was developed by Professor Eric Reynolds in the School of Dental Science at the University of Melbourne. Its now manufactured only in Victoria and is a trademark of Cadbury Schweppes Pte Ltd. It is used under licence by the GC Corporation in Japan in its dental products Tooth Mousse and Tooth Mousse Plus.
Recaldent™ is the trademark name of the nanocomplex CPP-ACP (casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate) which naturally occurs in casein protein found in cows milk.
Recaldent™ is used as an ingredient in a range of products including sugar-free chewing gum and professional dental products. Sales of products containing Recaldent urrently exceed $200 million per year.
Scientific research over many years has shown that Recaldent helps reverse and prevent tooth decay, by replacing the minerals (calcium and phosphate) that are lost from tooth enamel during the decay process. This replacement process is known as remineralisation.
