Context: ApaCare Repair is the top product from ApaCare research and not a toothpaste!
ApaCare Repair is used after brushing your teeth. The highly enriched medical hydroxyapatite is deposited as liquid enamel on the tooth surfaces and adheres to them as an initially invisible protective film.
The enamel minerals repair enamel defects and incipient caries, promote enamel maturation even in the case of stained teeth or developmental disorders or tooth malformations (e.g. chalky teeth), strengthen and thicken the enamel surface, smooth it very pleasantly and result in brightly reflecting, whitened teeth.
At the same time, sensitive tooth necks are treated and the cause in the form of exposed dentinal tubules is sustainably treated.
Also suitable for acid erosion, high caries susceptibility and orthodontic treatment.
Fluoride-free alternative to fluoride gels.
Treatment with ApaCare Repair is particularly effective when the repair paste is used with a dental splint. Once or several times a day for 20 minutes or overnight. The easiest way to do this is with the self-mouldable ApaCare Repair dental splint for use at home.
Dentists and their team also use ApaCare Repair in their practice, e.g. after prophylaxis, to smooth teeth and prevent sensitivity.
ApaCare Repair: Initial caries can be remineralised with liquid enamel
In a controlled and randomised study* on 92 patients with initial caries published on Nature.com, a high level of remineralisation was demonstrated through the use of ApaCare Repair.
The study subjects used a fluoridated toothpaste and then ApaCare Repair once a day for 6 months. A follow-up examination was carried out after one and two years.
Result: Initial caries was reduced in 38% of the teeth, in combination with ozone even in 69%. After 2 years without ApaCare Repair application, the number of caries-free teeth fell to 18%. The authors recommend that patients with initial caries or those at risk of caries should not only use the treatment for 6 months, but on a permanent basis.

What else can be done
After a detailed medical history (questioning the patient about their state of health, medication, general illnesses, course of symptoms, etc.) and a thorough examination of the patient with a particular focus on the oral cavity and salivary glands, the stimulated salivary flow rate is usually determined. If the suspicion is confirmed, further examinations such as laboratory diagnostics, blood tests, sonography (ultrasound examination) of the salivary glands, endoscopic examinations of the salivary ducts, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, if necessary with contrast medium, can be carried out to narrow down the cause. In rare cases, a sample is taken from the salivary gland (biopsy). In addition, an interdisciplinary diagnosis or therapy may be necessary, involving hormone specialists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists or psychologists.
Saliva substitutes are often the last resort in very severe cases of dry mouth in order to form a film on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and thus facilitate speaking, eating and swallowing
.
Living with dry mouth
Saliva substitutes consist of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), carboxyethylcellulose (CEC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), animal mucin, linseed oil, sorbitol or polyethylene oxide (PEO), among others. Enzymes and substances to adjust the pH value and viscosity are also added to many saliva substitutes. To prevent caries in dentate patients, pH-neutral saliva substitutes that contain fluoride and are supersaturated with calcium and phosphate should be recommended wherever possible. Butter and wetting the mucous membranes with edible oils are also helpful. Despite all these substances, no substitute preparation has yet been found that can replace human saliva. Unfortunately, many forms of dry mouth still cannot really be treated in a cause-specific manner and the affected patient has to live with dry mouth.
As the relief of symptoms with the above-mentioned therapeutic approaches is perceived differently from person to person, it is recommended that the affected person tries out different measures to find the best one for them individually

Temporary dry mouth can have a variety of causes
In the short term, dry mouth can occur as a result of a lack of fluids, mouth breathing, snoring, dry ambient air (e.g. in winter), in connection with flu-like infections or hoarseness. Stress, excitement, nervousness, but also depression and stimulants, especially smoking and alcohol abuse, can lead to dry mouth.
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, hormone preparations) also often correlate with a transitional dry mouth. Older people are often affected, but up to 10% of young adults also appear to suffer from dry mouth to a greater or lesser extent.
