Tried & True: Remin Pro

 

Due to the acidic nature of patients’ diets, teeth are constantly under attack. But this enamel intrusion can be slowed down and even reversed with the right preventive measures. Indicated for the prevention of hypersensitivity, demineralization, and acid erosion, VOCO’s Remin Pro uses a trio of ingredients that work together to prevent root surface sensitivity while blocking bacteria and refortifying enamel.

Remin Pro’s 3 key ingredients each play a vital role in stemming the tide against the daily acidic battle taking place in the oral mucosa. The nanohydroxyapatite is converted into acid-resistant fluorapatite; the xylitol has cariostatic properties, as xylitol cannot be converted from a cariogenic bacteria into harmful metabolite lactic acid; and the sodium fluoride seals off dentinal tubules and refortifies the enamel.

“Remin Pro, with its ‘trifecta’ of properties, is beneficial for those who suffer from sensitivity and demineralization, and can assist with saliva stimulation,” said Kris Potts, RDH, BS, FAADH.

Protection and Prevention
Remin Pro minimizes sensitivity by placing a protective coating on the tooth substance. It smooths tooth surfaces with an enamel-filling effect and impedes the adherence of bacterial plaque.
  “With so many advantages, it’s hard to select just one thing that makes Remin Pro stand out, but it is easy to use and the addition of xylitol as a sweetener adds another set of properties to use in the prevention of decay,” Potts said.

Hypersensitivity is particularly prevalent with oncology patients. They frequently experience demineralization and acid erosion as side effects of treatment, and can benefit from preventive care for these oral issues before the development of more debilitating conditions.

“The bacteriostatic nature of the xylitol assists in reducing the bacterial load during a time when the patient may be immunocompromised, as well as stimulating the salivary flow and helping the saliva carry the calcium and phosphate ions to the teeth,” Potts noted.

Remin Pro does not contain dairy, thereby alleviating any milk protein allergy concerns. It is easily applied at home with a cotton swab, a soft toothbrush, or in trays provided by the dental professional and comes in a variety of great-tasting flavors.
