Swiss retail chain Migros has complemented its leading toothpaste brand Candida with another innovation - CANDIDA PROTECT PROFESSIONAL – the first toothpaste with the innovative Curolox® Technology from credentis. The new toothpaste offers the consumer a scientifically proven protection against food acids as well as desensitisation of hypersensitive teeth. As a result the toothpaste is perfectly complementary to the professional treatment with Curodont D’Senz and Curodont Protect.
“I strongly recommend the new Candida Protect Professional to my patients. The Curolox® Technology supports the preservation of the natural tooth, also at home,“ says Christine Bischof, dipl DH HF, Swiss Dental Hygienist of the Year 2014.

About Curodont™ and the Curolox™ Technology
The patented Curolox® Technology is based on peptides self-assembling into a 3-dimensional matrix, triggering biomimetic mineralisation and repair. The core technology is the basis for all innovative credentis products.
CURODONT™ REPAIR provides dentists with a non-invasive option for natural in-depth mineralisation which allows the regeneration of caries lesions and similar defects. Applied to an early lesion, CURODONT™ REPAIR forms a scaffold within the lesion to guide new hydroxyapatite (tooth mineral) crystals to form and grow. Ideally, the caries is stopped and the lesion will mineralise within several weeks.
CURODONT™ PROTECT uses the Curolox® Technology to protect the tooth surface from acid attack.
CURODONT™ D’SENZ is optimised for the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity, to be used before dental hygiene treatment or in conjunction with tooth bleaching.
With its regenerative product line, credentis supports the trend towards prevention and early treatment. The ultimate goal is to prevent caries through the use of its regenerative solutions and frequent recalls by dentists and hygienists.
