PROPERTIES
PHOSPHATE RELEASE
400 ACTIVA is a “smart” material that responds to pH cycles in the mouth. During low pH 350
demineralization cycles, ACTIVA releases more phosphate. The phosphate ions can reside in the pellicle layer or saliva and are available to interact with calcium and fluoride ions during higher pH cycles.
