MI Paste™ and MI Paste Plus™
Calcium, Phosphate and Fluoride Tooth Treatment

Features and Benefits

MI Paste and MI Paste Plus 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

MI Paste and MI Paste Plus with RECALDENT (CPP-ACP) 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 enamel.⁴

MI Paste supplies calcium and phosphate needed for patients with poor saliva flow. This situation can be further augmented by elevating the level of fluoride.
