January 13, 2012 -- credentis CEO Dr. Dominik Lysek presented at the International Conference for Novel Anticaries and Remineralisation Agents (www.icnara2.org) in January 2012 the first results of the clinical study of Curodont™ in the treatment of 12 patients with caries lesions. The study results show that a single treatment with Curodont™ has a very positive effect in the treatment of early caries. The novel treatment approach of Curodont™ generated substantial interest in the conference participants.
About Curodont™
The first product of credentis that will be submitted for market approval (CE-label) will be Curodont™ with the self-assembling peptide P11-4.
Curodont™ provides dentists with a novel technology to regenerate rather than repair carious and other tooth lesions. Applied to a small lesion, Curodont™ forms a scaffold of small fibres within the lesion around which new enamel or dentin can form and grow. Ideally, within several weeks the lesion will regenerate without the use of burr or filler.
The presented results from the clinical study at Leeds are very encouraging: “We want to develop not only a product, but a new approach to caries. This will revolutionize dental care”, explains Dominik Lysek. The ultimate goal is to prevent caries by frequent recalls to dentists and dental hygienists.
Within additional clinical studies credentis continues to optimize and test the application and the range of indications of Curodont™.
