Hygiene–PROSPEC MI Paste

Teeth need calcium, phosphate and fluoride. Healthy saliva contains these minerals, and in conjunction with certain salivary proteins is able to deliver bio-available calcium and phosphate to the tooth surface during the demineralization/remineralization process. Calcium and phosphate are known to help:

Strengthen tooth enamel
Reduce sensitivity
Buffer plaque acid

MI Paste contains RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP). This technology has a unique ability to deliver bio-available calcium and phosphate when they are needed most. MI Paste binds calcium and phosphate to tooth surfaces, plaque and surrounding soft tissue. The RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) technology releases the calcium and phosphate when a patient’s saliva is acid challenged by the normal digestive process.

MI Paste Indications
MI Paste is indicated for post-bleaching sensitivity, root planing and scaling, as well as during prophylaxis.

RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) is a special milk-derived protein that can help provide important minerals such as calcium and phosphate required for healthy teeth.

Effectiveness of RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP): Note: MI Paste was tested under the name Tooth Mousse.

Features and Benefits:

RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) – Bio-available
Calcium and Phosphate:

Contains RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP). Casein Phosphopeptide (CPP) are natural occurring molecules which are able to bind calcium and phosphate ions and stabilize Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP).2, 3
RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) is a special milk-derived protein that can help replace lost minerals in teeth, make them stronger and helps protect them from decay and erosion.1, 3
Adheres easily to soft tissue, pellicle, plaque and even hydroxyapatite. Reacts similar to the mineral/statherin relation in saliva supplying bio-available calcium and phosphate required for remineralization to take place.1, 3
Under acidic conditions, RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) releases calcium and phosphate ions into tooth enamel⁴.
Supplies calcium and phosphate needed for patients with poor saliva flow. This situation can be further augmented by elevating the level of fluoride.

Topical Paste:

Water-based, sugar-free topical creme with a special blend of polishing, cleaning and dentin tubule sealing agents.
Five tasty flavors - melon, mint, strawberry, tutti frutti and vanilla.

Easy to Use:

Prophy cup application: Apply generous layer of MI Paste as a final polishing after routine prophylaxis. Patient does not need to rinse away.
Custom tray application: Extrude a generous layer to tray and position in patients mouth for 3 minutes.
MI Paste is digestable if swallowed.
Products containing RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) should not be consumed by people with milk protein allergies. RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) is digestible by people with lactose intolerance.
After initial treatment, the tube of MI Paste can be used for professionally supervised at-home follow-up

New Addition to Preventive Treatment Regimen:

Offers an additional treatment for salivary dysfunction, sensitivity, erosion, and unhealthy enamel. Also for use during ortho applications, xerostomia, and Sjogrens syndrome
Replaces lost minerals, improves the protective qualities of saliva, improves fluoride uptake, and soothes sensitive surfaces.
Perfect complement to saliva testing. Testing can be done as part of patient’s routine examination using new Saliva-Check Kits.
