What exactly is MI Paste Plus and how does it work?

MI Paste Plus (with 900 ppm fluoride) [GC America, Inc.] is a dental creme that contains a unique ingredient called Recaldent. Recaldent is a milk derivative composed of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate. Its unique chemistry provides enhanced tooth remineralization and is indicated for any patients at a high caries risk; patients with xerostomia, orthodontic patients, or patients with white spot lesions. It can be used by dental professionals at the prophylaxis appointment and also at home in a tray delivery mode. Over time, MI Paste Plus naturally strengthens teeth by replenishing calcium, phosphate and fluoride into tooth structure.
