trident white for enamel remineralization? (casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes)
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-263X.2008.00920.x/abstract
Background. Commercially available sugar-free chewing gums have been claimed to provide oral health benefits.
Aim. The aim of this randomized, double-blind crossover in situ study was to compare the efficacy of three commercially available sugar-free chewing gums: Trident White, Orbit, and Orbit Professional, in remineralizing enamel subsurface lesions in situ.
Design. Specimens containing enamel subsurface lesions were sectioned into test and control half-slabs with the test half-slabs inserted into removable palatal appliances. For each test chewing period, subjects were randomly allocated one of three test gums. Subjects (n = 10) chewed the randomly allocated gum for a 20-min period four times per day for 14 days. Each subject chewed all three test gums, with a 7-day washout period between crossovers. After each 14-day cycle, test and control half-slabs were paired, embedded in resin, sectioned, and subjected to microradiography to determine remineralization.
Results. The gum TW produced significantly greater remineralization (18.4 ± 0.9%) than Orbit (8.9 ± 0.5%) and Orbit Professional (10.5 ± 0.9%).
Conclusion. The superior remineralization activity of the TW gum in situ was attributed to the presence of casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes.

So, I went to Costco and with much dismay i found that none of their gums have xylitol as their main ingredient.
not only gums from Trident don't have xylitol, and have instead other sweeteners that are very bad, but also, they don't have these extra ingredients.
a bit more of searching on the internet and i found out that these ingredients, shortened CPP-ACP, are also called Recaldent. And that in the US the only gum that contains them is "Trident Extra Care".
or otherwise there's the MI paste from http://www.gcamerica.com/

Where can I buy recaldent paste within the UK? (or with cheap international shipping?) Also, would chewing a few peices of Trident White gum a day make a difference to my enamel?
