Curodont information
Healthy tooth anatomy
- Enamel is the outermost layer of the tooth crown and the hardest tissue in the body, made of hydroxyapatite, a natural mineral.
- Dentin supports the enamel and protects the pulp.
- The pulp is the innermost vital part of the tooth and contains blood vessels and nerves.
- Cementum is a thin layer that helps attach the tooth to the jaw bone.
How does decay occur?
Decay, also known as caries, occurs due to acid produced by bacteria, which causes mineral loss in the tooth. This process is called demineralization. Decay does not start with a hole; it develops invisibly in enamel below the tooth surface. At this stage, it may still be possible to reverse without drilling.
Untreated early decay can progress, involve the dentin, and form a cavity. The handout explains that a cavity can require drilling and filling.
About Curodont Repair
The handout describes Curodont Repair as a painless, drill-free solution for arresting and reversing initial tooth decay. It says the patented Monomer-Peptide formulation can help regenerate lost minerals by attracting calcium and phosphate from saliva.
It describes the treatment as an in-office application by a dental professional, taking less than 10 minutes, and says it is suitable for all ages.
Science inspired by nature
The brochure describes vVARDIS technology as developed in Switzerland and based on peptide science, with over 25 years of research. It explains that the technology aims to mimic nature by forming new hydroxyapatite crystals.
