NOVAMIN is a new biomaterial that disintegrates sodium and releases calcium and phosphate ions in contact with saliva. This temporarily increases the pH causing the precipitation of calcium and phosphate in the saliva to form a layer of calcium phosphate on the surface of the teeth (1).
Effective in remineralising teeth (2), reducing dentinal hypersensitivity (3).

NOVAMIN is a bioactive glass material made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), calcium phosphate (CaO, P₂O₅) and sodium (Na₂O), also known as bioactive glass 45S5.

The synthesis process takes place in different steps:

• Mixing of the raw materials, silica sand, sodium hydroxide, calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide.
• Melting. These materials are melted together at high temperatures (approx. 1400°C) to form glass. 
• Cooling and grinding. The glass is then cooled rapidly to prevent crystallisation and then ground into a fine powder.

NOVAMIN is a new biomaterial that disintegrates sodium and, on contact with saliva, releases calcium and phosphate ions. This temporarily increases the pH causing calcium and phosphate to precipitate in saliva to form a calcium phosphate layer on the tooth surface (1).
