Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus
Innovative, non-invasive treatment for buccal, occlusal, and interproximal early caries lesions helps teeth naturally remineralize
While attending an international conference, Brian Nový, DDS, became fascinated with a molecule showing remarkable promise to treat decay. It was unlike anything the dental profession had ever seen. “Everyone was on the edge of their seats looking at these early carious lesions that had been remineralized with this product,” said Dr. Nový.
A few years later, as Dr. Nový was finding his seat at another conference, he realized that the speaker who had been instrumental in perfecting that very same molecule was seated directly in front of him.
“He handed me 2 boxes of Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus," Dr. Nový said. "Back at my office, I applied it, and using a laser to analyze how much the tooth had remineralized, I found I was remineralizing cavities by half with just one application.”
“This product has really blown the lid off the way we should be thinking about treating caries.”

Guided Enamel Regeneration
Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is a low-viscosity material that acts to remineralize and reharden noncavitated proximal and interproximal lesions. Using its Monomer-Peptide 10 patented technology, Curodont rebuilds the natural tooth structure into the full depth of the enamel lesion. Within just 5 minutes of application, Curodont begins to remineralize target enamel and continues strengthening it in the weeks following initial early lesion treatment. While other products are designed to promote surface-level hardening, Curodont penetrates deeper into the enamel—helping the minerals naturally found in saliva to repair, strengthen, and protect the tooth.
“Prior to Curodont, we could remineralize only the outer layer of the cavity. Now, we can create an infinite number of binding sites for the calcium and phosphate,” said Dr. Nový. “It creates a whole new scaffold inside the tooth where it was once hollow, allowing us to remineralize cavities deeper than we ever have before. It’s amazing.”
'Watch' No More
Curodont, which can be used in conjunction with other remineralization products such as fluoride varnish, helps patients avoid more invasive treatment down the road. “To the forward-thinking dentist, this product adds a whole new layer to the idea of simply ‘watching’ a cavity,” Dr. Nový said. “Now, you can tell your patient, ‘You have a cavity, and most other dentists would fill it. But I think there's a chance to fix it, so I'm going to apply this liquid. If you take care of it, you probably won’t need the filling.’”
“Curodont does exactly what it says it’s going to do,” he added. “This product has really blown the lid off the way we should think about treating caries.”
