Zinc & mineral actives for gum & dentin sensitivity
A dual-target mineral solution utilizing zinc salts for gum health and potassium nitrate or strontium acetate for dentinal hypersensitivity, integrated into oral care products for enhanced antimicrobial action and sensitivity relief.
Overview
Isaltis offers a novel dual-target mineral solution designed to enhance oral health by combining highly bioavailable zinc salts with potassium nitrate or strontium acetate. This solution targets both gum health and dentinal hypersensitivity, providing broad antimicrobial action, inhibition of volatile sulfur compounds, and anti-inflammatory effects on gingival tissues. Its application extends to toothpastes, gels, and mouthwashes, ensuring optimized retention at oral soft tissues and dentin surfaces for effective results.
Technical specifications
Key features:
- Zinc Salts: Includes citrate, lactate, and phosphate forms for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action.
- Sensitivity Relief: Utilizes potassium nitrate for nerve depolarization and strontium acetate for tubule occlusion.
- Integration: Compatible with standard oral care formulations, maintaining active ingredient stability.
This formulation is designed with optimized particle size and solubility profiles to ensure effective delivery and retention at target sites within the oral cavity.
Technology readiness level
This solution has reached Technology Readiness Level 9, indicating its readiness for commercial use, supported by clinical validation and efficacy studies.
