3. CASEIN PHOSPHO PEPTIDE(CPP)
The new anticariogenic agent

4. Caries is irreversible ?
It has now been recognized that demineralized but
non-cavitated enamel and dentin
can be healed !
–Martin J. Tyas, Graham J. Mount (2000)

6. Fluorides

7. Search For A Safer Alternative

8. CASEIN PHOSPO-PEPTIDE (CPP)
“ CPP unlike fluorides is completely non-toxic ”
-Reynolds EC, 2000

15. 2. Inhibition of demineralization
* Providing calcium binding site
* Modulating plaque composition
* Buffering capacity
-Vernon.P.G, HuntingtonE(1992)
-Roberts.A.J. (1995)

16. 3. Potential of CPP to inhibit plaque formation
* CPP binds to both
tooth surface and plaque bacteria.
-Guggenheim et al.(1994)
-Schupbach et al.(1996)

17. CPP-ACP has been demonstrated to have
anti cariogenic potential in laboratory,
animals and human in-situ experiments.

18. 1% CPP-ACP solution = 500 ppm fluoride
(Reynold EC & Riley PF 1997)
Fluoride +CPP-ACP = ?

19. In vivo Studies
•CHEWING GUM STUDY
Sugar free gum containing 18.8mg CPP-ACP
produced 17.9 % enamel subsurface
remineralization compared with 9% by control
sugar free gum.
(Reynolds et al 2001,2004)

20. •MOUTH RINSE STUDY
Results of mouth rinse study showed that
CPP-ACP rinses significantly increased the
plaque calcium and phosphate levels,
produced more than twice the level of
remineralization
( Reynolds et al, 2003)

21. Animal Studies
•SOLUTION CONTAINING CPP
CPP-ACP solutions applied to the molar teeth
of the rats thrice daily significantly reduced
caries activity in a dose response fashion.
(Reynolds et al, 1995)

22. Invitro Studies
•DENTIFRICE STUDY
Dentifrice containing 5% w/w CPP was compared
with identical CPP-free
CPP containing dentifrice, reduced the surface
softening by 20% compared with the placebo group.
(Vernon P.G, Huntington E 1992)

23. •MOUTH RINSE STUDY
1.0% CPP-ACPsolutionproduced 63.9%
remineralization of enamel subsurface
lesions over 10-day period .
(Reynolds et al, 1997)

24. •STUDY ON GIC WITH CPP
Results suggests that Fuji IX G P
containing CPP-ACP will provide
enhanced protection against secondary
caries, when compared with conventional
Glass ionomer.
(E.C.Reynolds 2003)

25. In vivo Studies
•MOUTH RINSE STUDY
It was conclude that CPP preparation hold
promise as caries preventive agent for
individuals with dry mouth.
( David Hays 2002)

26. •DENTIFRICE STUDY
The results demonstrate that CPP (1%)
containing tooth paste significantly lower
caries increment compared to SMFP and
plain tooth paste.
[SreeVidya.K, 2006]

27. Commercially Available Products
Trident Chewing Gum ( Recaldent )comes in two
gum flavors -a strong mint and a morefruity
tropical flavor.
MI paste(Recaldent) is a topical paste, which is
water based and sugar free cream. It is applied
during polishing of teeth afteroral prophylaxis.
