The entire Biorepair range has been created without the use of fluoride to limit absorption and preserve the integrity of the teeth and gums.
For years we have used fluoride to protect our teeth, giving Sodium Fluoride tablets to our children. Over time, however, the scientific community has uncovered effects and risks caused by excessive consumption. Fluoride can, in fact, cause Fluorosis, a disease that can result in slight alterations to the translucency of the enamel and possible cracks on the teeth. The European Community has clearly set out that the minimum dose of fluoride that can lead to Fluorisis is 0.08-0.1 mg/Kg/die. The European Directive 2009/129/EC limits the use of toothpaste containing fluoride (concentration range 0.1 to 0.15%) to small amounts and under adult supervision.
The formula is made with Microrepair®, biomimetic Hydroxyapatite crystals composed of the same substance as teeth, which chemically bond to the enamel surface, repairing it and protecting teeth from cavities, plaque, and sensitivity. Microrepair® naturally bonds to tooth enamel thanks to its biomimetic properties. It penetrates micro-scratches and gently coats the surface, depositing new biomimetic enamel on the surface of the teeth with daily use*.
It also plays an important role in deciduous teeth, protecting against cavities and supporting the growth of strong, healthy permanent teeth, as well as providing complete protection for children’s mouths.
*Temporary biomimetic coating effect of Microrepair, which deposits evenly on the surface of enamel treated with regular use at least twice a day, covering micro-scratches but not carious lesions or chipped teeth.
Why fluoride-free toothpaste
is important
The Biorepair fluoride-free kids and Junior range is safe and can be used by children under the age of 6 even without adult supervision. In vitro tests on enamel erosion have shown that Biorepair is twice as effective as a normal fluoride toothpaste because the Microrepair® particles settle on the enamel forming a layer of hydroxyapatite that effectively protects against acid attack.
In 2018, an in vitro test was run whichcompared three products:
