• Comfortable, quick and generally gentle treatment
• Supports natural enamel remineralisation
• Helps prevent early decay from progressing in appropriate cases

Curodont™ Repair FAQs

Does Curodont™ Repair replace fillings?

No. Curodont™ Repair is designed for early enamel lesions before a cavity has formed. If there is already an established cavity, a filling or another restorative treatment is generally required.

Is Curodont™ Repair painful?

No. Most patients find the procedure comfortable, and it usually does not require drilling or injections.

How long does the treatment take?

Treatment is typically completed during a routine dental appointment in a single visit.

Is Curodont™ Repair suitable for children?

Yes. Following a clinical examination, your dentist can determine whether Curodont™ Repair is an appropriate treatment option.

Why should early carious lesions be treated?

Caries is a slowly progressing dental disease. In its advanced stages, when it has progressed to the middle or inner thirds of dentine, the carious lesions may get cavitated. Once a cavity develops, the only resort is to restore with an artificial plastic material. Drilling and filling of carious lesions is the beginning of the death spiral of a tooth, which eventually ends with tooth loss. Therefore, intervening when the carious lesion is still in its incipient stages avoids or delays the need for restorations and elongates the life of a tooth. Curodont™ Repair helps regenerate the 'lost' enamel and gives teeth a fresh start.

How many times should Curodont™ Repair be used to bring about regeneration?

For each lesion, one application of Curodont™ Repair has been seen to be sufficient to bring about caries arrest and regeneration. Regeneration begins on the application of Curodont™ Repair and continues to happen over time. Patient behavioural and environmental factors, such as the level of oral hygiene maintenance, dietary factors, quality of saliva, flow of saliva etc. are important factors. influencing regeneration. Therefore, the clinician must motivate the patient to observe good oral hygiene maintenance. In patients at a high caries risk, including those with rampant caries or those undergoing orthodontic treatment, or in patients who do not/are not able to maintain good oral hygiene levels, the procedure can be repeated if the clinician deems it necessary.

Is it safe to use in children?

Curodont™ Repair has no known side effects and can safely be utilised in children. Regular dental appointments to detect caries in the earliest stages and their drill-free management using Curodont™ Repair is recommended.

How long does it take to regenerate a lesion?

Natural enamel formation in primary and permanent teeth requires a few months to a few years, respectively. As Curodont™ Repair mimics nature to remineralise enamel, the process can take a similar amount of time, so it's important to keep the long-term in mind. The speed of regeneration depends on a number of patient behavioural and environmental factors, such as oral hygiene maintenance, quality of saliva, dietary habits, etc.

What is the Mode of Action of Curodant™ Protect

In CURODONT PROTECT the P11-4 Oligo-Peptide technology is combined with calcium, phosphate and fluoride. It adheres to the tooth surface forming a protective mineral-rich layer. The layer attracts minerals from saliva for effective and lasting protection from bacterial and food acids. The biomimetic Oligo-Peptide technology creates a protective layer. The layer attracts minerals fro saliva to remineralise the enamel, providing effective protection
