May 16, 2013 -- Credentis ag in collaboration with its research partners presented further clinical data on the efficacy of biomimetic mineralization with Curodont™ Repair in the treatment of early proximal and buccal caries, as well as data elucidating the mechanistic action of the Curolox™ Technology, showing in-depth biomimetic mineralisation both in vitro and in vivo. “The presentation of the clinical data on Curodont™ Repair validates the data obtained in the Proof-of-Concept clinical study. In combination with the data from the detailed analysis on the mechanism of action, it presents a milestone for credentis, showing the in-depth effect of the carious treatment”, says credentis CEO Dr Dominik Lysek.

Curodont™ and the Curolox™ technology

The patented Curolox™ technology is based on peptides self-assembling into a matrix triggering a biomimetic mineralisation and repair mechanism. The technology is the basis of all credentis’ innovative products.

Curodont™ Repair provides dentists with a non-invasive option for natural mineralisation rather than classical repair of carious lesions. Applied to an early lesion Curodont™ Repair forms a scaffold within the lesion around which new hydroxyapatite can form and grow. Ideally, within several weeks the lesion will mineralise. This effect is observed in a growing number of patients both in clinical studies and daily practice settings. Curodont™ Protect uses the Curolox™ technology to protect the tooth surface from acid attack or to treat unpleasant tooth sensations.

“The presentation of the clinical data and the verification of the data obtained in the Proof-of-Concept clinical study presents a milestone for credentis, as it shows the in-depth treatment of the tooth decay. credentis seeks to support with its regenerative product line a trend towards prevention and early treatment. Curodont™ Repair has its potential in the treatment of early dental caries, whereas Curodont™ Protect has its main benefit in prophylaxis and in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity!” explains CEO Dominik Lysek. The ultimate goal is to prevent caries by the use of its regenerative product line and frequent dental recalls by dentists and dental hygienists.
