A review of novel dental caries preventive material: Casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP–ACP) complex

A paradigm shift is emerging in dentistry and dental treatments are now aimed at maximum conservation of tooth structure. It is nowadays considered an ethical duty of a dentist to provide their patients with minimally invasive treatment. Remineralization therapy is preferred in cases, where there is a chance of gaining success by preventive methods. Many novel caries preventive materials are now available in the market which contain components that have the ability to initiate remineralization. One such component which is caries preventive and is present in many dental materials is Casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP–ACP).
