The BioMin story

BioMin’s unique active ingredient is a calcium fluoro phospho-silicate which belongs to the Bioglass family of substances. Bioglass-es have been used in the human body for almost 50 years and in dentisty for almost 20 years.

The hydroxylapatite (similar to the tooths natural minerals) could fill the exposed tubules that allowed sensations like sweet, hot or cold to reach nerves and cause pain.[/icon_timeline_item][icon_timeline_item time_title=”2010s improving performance of Bioglass”]Over the past decade Professor Hill a world leading expert in Bioglass conducted research to improve the dental performance of Bioglass by modifying the phosphate content to aid remineralisation, adding additional components such as fluoride for the formation of fluorapatite over hydroxylapatite and reducing particle sizes to enable a larger portion of particles to enter and fill open dentine tubules and reduced damage from abrasion.

The work of Professor Hill and his team was recognised by a number of awards including the prestigious Armours and Brasiers Venture prize for innovation.
