Clinical results

ELGYDIUM PLAQUE-DISCLOSING TOOTHPASTE was tested on 45 adults and 44 children age 7 to 12 during 21 days. A 50% dental plaque decrease was observed after the first brushing, with maintained antiplaque activity all along the study 3-week duration (1).

During a consumer test involving 86 persons, 80% or adult and child testers declared that ELGYDIUM PLAQUE DISCLOSING TOOTHPASTE had allowed them to learn how to better brush their teeth. 88% of parents and 90% of children were satisfied with this teaching toothpaste (2)

Nicomethanol fluorohydrate (Fluorinol®) helps remineralize and protect tooth enamel. Fluoride binding helps remineralize enamel and increases tooth resistance to acid attacks which trigger decay. Siliglycol forms a protective film that encourages fluoride surface binding, even after mouth rinsing (3).
