Cover Story: For nearly a century, fluoride has dominated dental products as an active ingredient but there is overwhelming evidence that other formulations work to improve oral health by reversing early dental decay, improving gum health, reducing tooth sensitivity and dental erosion, and safely whitening teeth. This review focuses on fluoride-free toothpastes containing biomimetic calcium phosphate-based molecules as the primary active ingredients. These include hydroxyapatite (HAP), casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS, Bioglass or Novamin), β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and calcium glycerophosphate (CaGP). To date, 150 clinical trials on human subjects have shown the efficacy of calcium phosphates in biomimetic oral care. View this paper

  • Jeremy Pohly,
  • Taeyoung Lee and
  • Hikaru Aono

The long-range migration of monarch butterflies, extended over 4000 km, is not well understood. Monarchs experience varying density conditions during migration, ranging as high as 3000 m, where the air density is much lower than at sea level. In this...
