Sustained mineral delivery for oral health enhancement

Overview

CAPOSAL® is a cutting-edge oral care innovation designed to address the limitations of conventional fluoride products. Utilizing patented amorphous calcium phosphate microspheres, this technology provides a sustained release of essential minerals such as calcium, phosphate, and magnesium directly onto tooth surfaces. This continuous delivery system promotes the formation of new mineral layers integrated into enamel and dentin, effectively reducing hypersensitivity, preventing erosion, and enhancing caries protection. The microspheres can also carry additional oral care actives, offering prolonged retention and targeted delivery capabilities.

Technical specifications

Key features:

• Bioactive microspheres designed for sustained mineral delivery
• Supports occlusion of dentinal tubules and formation of acid-resistant minerals
• Compatible with conventional toothpaste and gel formulations
• Acts as a carrier for additional oral care actives, enhancing efficacy

Applications:

• Remineralization of tooth surfaces
• Relief of dentinal hypersensitivity
• Erosion protection and caries prevention

Technology readiness level

CAPOSAL® is currently at a technology readiness level 8, with successful preclinical studies demonstrating its efficacy in mineral deposition and dentinal tubule occlusion. Ongoing collaboration with a consumer-health partner seeks to validate its clinical application through randomized studies, focusing on its performance compared to existing fluoride products.
