Nanit®active is a biocomposite of nano hydroxyapatite crystals and protein molecules.
Nanit®active forms a totally new tooth-analogous material on exposed dentin. Nanit®active induces the crystallisation of calcium and phosphate from the saliva to grow a thin protective layer. In this way the natural repair mechanism (mineralisation) of the saliva is used in a new form.
We have termed this self-organisation process as the so-called Neomineralisation.
So far the following Nanit®active oral care products have been clinically tested:
Nanit®active Gel
Nanit®active Toothpaste
Nanit®active Tooth Strip
A natural process: The growth of plants from seeds and rain is comparable to the growth of a protection layer from Nanit®active and saliva.
