Rebuild and Repair at the First Signs of Breakdown

Parents and pediatric patients will appreciate early stage caries intervention without painful drilling or staining, while potentially avoiding years of costly and traumatic treatment.

Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus

Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus naturally rebuilds and repairs enamel at the first signs of breakdown. This non-invasive 5-minute chairside treatment uses a proprietary peptide to repair teeth naturally. Unlike fluoride, which only promotes remineralization on the tooth's surface, Curodont uses calcium, phosphate, and other minerals found in the patient's own saliva to rebuild down to the depth of the lesion.

Biomimetic

Leverages amino acids to help new hydroxyapatite crystals grow.

Non-Staining

Unlike other options on the market, Curodont does not stain or discolor the tooth surface.

More Effective

Offers a 95% success rate* and 13X higher probability of success compared to fluoride varnish alone.**

Complement Your Care

Curodont™ Protect
Anti-cavity Dentifrice Gel for Sensitive Teeth

Curodont Protect is a remineralizing dental gel that aids in the prevention of dental cavities and builds increasing protection against painful tooth sensitivity. 

Its proprietary formulation, which features stabilized stannous fluoride combined with Curodont technology, remineralizes and strengthens the enamel while offering relief from sensitivity. 

Curodont Protect is the ideal complement to treatment with Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus; its daily application at home after the in-office treatment with Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus fosters patient compliance and engagement with the treatment, while helping to maximize outcomes.

"Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus offers a pivotal opportunity at the threshold between preventative and restorative interventions: time is on your side – remineralize incipient tooth decay, filling instead of drilling.”

Dr. Volker Scholz

 

How It Works

Using a proprietary self-assembling peptide, Curodont begins to remineralize target enamel within 5 minutes of application and continues strengthening it in the weeks following treatment. The unique formula penetrates deep into the depth of the lesion where it leverages calcium and phosphate from patient saliva to help new hydroxyapatite grow.

Radiographic changes are visible within 3-6 months. To optimize outcomes, Curodont can be applied several times at intervals of 3-6 months between each application and can also be combined with fluoride treatment.

Guided Enamel Remineralization

Guided Enamel Remineralization (GER) bridges the gap between prevention and invasive restorative approaches to treat initial carious lesions and white spots. Curdont™ Repair Fluoride Plus enables in-depth remineralization of the enamel while maintaining the integrity of the tooth.

Frequently asked questions

What is Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus?

Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is a one application, 5-minute, professional chairside treatment designed to remineralize and repair early stage decay. 

What are the indications for use of Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus?

Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus should be used on non-cavitated, incipient lesions, with an ICDAS score of 1-3. It's appropriate for interproximal, occlusal, buccal, facial and lingual surfaces and suitable for patients 4 years and older. It can also be used during or after orthodontic bracketing.

How does Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus work?

When applied correctly, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus penetrates deep into the depth of an early carious lesion. Its unique formulation builds a matrix that attracts calcium and phosphate from patient saliva to help de novo hydroxyapatite crystals grow - the essential component of strong, intact enamel. The formula begins to remineralize and repair early stage decay within 5 minutes of treatment and continues to reharden and repair the treated area during the weeks and months following treatment. Radiographic changes are visible in 3-6 months. 

Why should early caries be treated?

In the vast majority of cases, an early carious lesion, also known as an incipient or white spot lesion, that is not treated and is simply "watched" will progress into a cavitated lesion requiring restorative treatment. Most fillings have a life expectancy of 10-15 years and require replacement when additional decay forms around the margins or the restoration breaks down. Treating early lesions with Curodont before they cavitate can help prevent the need for a lifetime of costly restorative work. Curodont can be especially beneficial for interproximal lesions that would require the removal of healthy tissue to address decay. 

Does the use of Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus preclude the use of additional fluoride or other substances promoting remineralization?

No. Other means promoting remineralization such as fluoride varnish, may provide additional support for the regeneration of hard tooth structure.

What is the difference between Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus and products containing highly concentrated fluoride?

Fluoride containing products promote remineralization and acid resistance solely on the tooth surface. Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus uses a proprietary self-assembling peptide and application procedure to penetrate deep into the depth of the lesion where it supports the growth of de novo hydroxyapatite.

 

Can Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus be applied more than once?

Yes. While most carious lesions see a 95%** success rate, the procedure can be repeated if necessary.

 

Does Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus stain treatment areas?

No. Unlike other treatments for early stage decay, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus does not stain any part of the treatment area.
