When it comes to using the Biomin F with fluoride and GC Tooth Mousse with fluoride I would recommend using the Biomin F for your regular brushing. That means brushing twice daily for two minutes. The manufacturers also recommend that after you finish brushing swirl the foamy toothpaste around your mouth for 30 seconds, and spit out the excess. Do not rinse, with anything, do not eat, and do not drink anything for at least 30 minutes after brushing. Use the Tooth Mousse directly before bed time. Massage a small amount onto the affected tooth. The product has been available in the Australian market since 2006. TMP is distributed globally by GC Corporation and GC America. In Japan, Europe, the United States of America, and South America, TMP is known as MI Paste Plus ®. TMP contains a milk-derived protein called RECALDENT ® with incorporated fluoride (CPP-ACPF: Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Fluoride). The level of fluoride in TMP is 900 ppm.

GC Tooth Mousse

Streptococcus mutans is a common cariogenic bacterium in the oral cavity involved in plaque formation. Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) has been introduced into tooth mousse to encourage remineralization of dental enamel. The aim of this research was to study the effect of tooth mousse containing CPP-ACP (GC Tooth Mousse®) or CPP-ACP with 0.2% fluoride (CPP-ACPF; GC Tooth Mousse Plus®; GCP) on S. mutans planktonic growth and biofilm formation. Given that oral health care advice is a key part of the dental service for patients it is important to consider the evidence for the effectiveness of our preventive activities. We want to be confident we can maintain good oral health and reduce the risk of caries.

Tooth Mousse, the first product for professional use to contain this complex of CPP-ACP (Recaldent™), is the ideal delivery system for bio-available calcium and phosphate ions. MI Paste Plus in addition contains a unique, patented form of fluoride. MI Paste Plus releases all three of the ions needed to form acid-resistant fluorapatite by BOTH remineralisation and fluoridation.
