Reducing Sensitivity / Dentine Hypersensitivity:Â BioMin vs Novamin and Arginine
Comparative Evaluation of Desensitizing Dentifrices containing BioMin®, Novamin® and Fluoride on Dentinal Tubule Occlusion before and after a Citric Acid Challenge
The % of occluded tubles (cause of sensitivity) with BioMin® containing dentifrice (toothpaste) was significantly higher than NovaMin® and a control i.e., fluoride containing dentifrice. Biomin ® and Novamin® containing dentifrices showed significant citric acid resistance compared to the fluoride containing dentifrice although the BioMin® containing dentifrice significantly showed better resistance to a citric acid challenge than the NovaMin® containing dentifrice.
In Australia NovaMin® is registered to GlaxoSmithKlein. Â
Comparative Evaluation of Desensitizing Efficacy of Dentifrice Containing 5% Fluoro Calcium Phosphosilicate Versus 5% Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
The fluoro calcium phosphosilicate group (BioMin® F) showed a higher degree of effectiveness in reducing DH (Dentine Hypersensitivity), followed by calcium sodium phosphosilicate (NovaMin® ) then standard fluoride dentifrices (toothpastes).
Clinical comparison of 5% fluoro calcium phosphosilicate (BioMin® F) versus 5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate (NovaMin®) in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.
A Randomised Clinical Trial on the Efficacy of 5% Fluoro calcium Phosphosilicate-Containing Novel Bioactive Glass Toothpaste
The toothpaste containing 5% fluoro calcium phosphosilicate (BioMin F) was reported to be more efficacious than the other two toothpastes (B, 8% arginine and calcium carbonate, fluoride placebo)Â in managing DH. This novel development opens up a unique opportunity in the prevention and management of DH and may also be beneficial in preventing acid erosion of the tooth surface and in the maintenance of oral hygiene by reducing the effects of plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation.
Comparative assessment of effectiveness of Biomin, NovaMin, herbal, and potassium nitrate desensitizing agents in the treatment of hypersensitive teeth: A clinical study
The Biomin® group showed significantly better results compared with either NovaMin®, herbal, and potassium nitrate toothpastes in the treatment of dental hypersensitivity symptoms.
Comparative efficacy of BioMin-F, Colgate Sensitive Pro-relief and Sensodyne Rapid Action in relieving dentin hypersensitivity: a randomized controlled trial
Based on the synthesis of study results, we can conclude that Pro-Argin™ in Colgate Sensitive Pro-relief™ and 8% strontium acetate in Sensodyne Rapid Action™ both are effective for pain relief in one minute after application in DH with better immediate treatment response of Pro-Argin™ than strontium acetate. While FCPS in BioMin® F can be the best possible treatment option for long-term management of DH in the form of OTC dentifrices.
Treating the Twinge : BioMin vs Pro Arginine & Potassium Nitrate
Toothpaste containing fluoro calcium phospho silicate (BIOMIN) has shown better results in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity in comparison to other two commercially available toothpastes i.e toothpaste containing pro-arginime and potassium nitrate. Hence it can be used as a potent desensitising agent.
Remineralisation / treatment of white spot lesions : BioMin vs Novamin
BioMin F compared to NovaMin (Sensodyne Repair & Protect) containing dentifrice a comparison of fluoride content and remineralisation capability
Biomin F® toothpaste demonstrated more fluoride content and greater potential to promote remineralization of demineralized human enamel compared to Novamin®. BiominF toothpaste presented higher micro-hardness values on remineralization. BioMin F packaged fluoride content is 530 ppm vs NovaMin containing toothpaste at 1,450ppm.
Antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans.
Efficacy of BioMin F and NovaMin toothpastes against streptococcus mutans: an in vitro study
BioMin F® toothpaste showed superior antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans to 1450 ppm fluoride toothpaste and NovaMin containing toothpastes. Novamin showed the lowest antibacterial effect. This in vitro study suggests that BioMin F toothpaste shows encouraging potential to be recommended as a preventive measure to reduce the caries risk.
