Research at Dr. Wolff has been of central importance since the company was founded in 1905 until today. It takes place in the company itself, but also in cooperation with independent institutes and university clinics. With the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research in Düsseldorf, for example, ultrastructural studies of the interactions between hydroxyapatite particles and the enamel surface are carried out with the “Biological Composites” working group. The accumulation of biomimetic hydroxyapatite on the tooth surface provides relief from erosions – the acid-induced degradation of the tooth surface. Numerous clinical studies show that this completely new mechanism of action offers many other advantages for the health of teeth and gums.
Dental erosions are increasingly common
A European study from 2016 shows that three quarters (75%) of the examined patients at the age of approx. 46 show damage to their tooth enamel – these are often not visible to the layperson. The acids in lemonades, citrus fruits or fruit juices can wear out tooth enamel and cause erosion. Tooth enamel is getting thinner and more transparent. With increasing duration or aging, the teeth look dull, even biting an apple or a sip of cold water can hurt because the protective enamel is missing. Nordic Smile can help here thanks to its special mechanism of action.
Cleaning up instead of wearing out
The toothpaste contains a substance related to natural tooth enamel and can compensate for damage caused by demineralization. Enriched with 20% zinc carbonate hydroxyapatite, which is modeled on natural tooth enamel, Nordic Smile puts a protective film around the tooth enamel and protects the teeth from wear and tear. The tooth-related active ingredients penetrate the microfine cracks and repair the porous areas. With regular use, the enamel is cared for, smooth and resilient.
