The product was created by a team of young scientists from the Borovsky Institute of Dentistry and is already undergoing patenting. About this "Lenta.ru” was reported in the university's press service.
The product is designed for oral care during the day, during those hours when food remains on the teeth after eating and plaque forms. According to the authors of the project, a special composition with enzymes, when chewing, dissolves soft plaque and converts it into compounds with antibacterial action. The enzyme complex in combination with protein acts on caries-causing bacteria, and the calcium in the composition helps strengthen the enamel.
The developers also claim a cumulative effect: with regular use, the active ingredients remain in the surface layers of the tooth, increasing the enamel's resistance to damage even after a break in use.
The authors emphasize that chewing gum does not replace traditional brushing, but it can become an additional preventive measure. lenta.ru.
