Cavities under threat – Permanently
A clinical study sponsored by Ortek Pharmaceuticals and the Stony Brook University has shown that an innovative non-fluoride based product is showing extreme success in the fight against cavities. The product in gum form contains CaviStat a compound that fights cavities, preventing them from eating away at the tooth. The compound also hastens the re-mineralization of teeth allowing for better cavity control and longer lasting teeth. The study which was done under clinical supervision had children, half of which used the gum with the active ingredient and half of them without it in a placebo control. Final results showed a reduction of cavities by as much as 60% which is better than any decay control methods before.
