ProEmalj Science: Preventing Tooth Erosion and Maintaining Enamel
The unique formulation of ProEmalj1–10
The unique formulation of ProEmalj delivers minerals into the enamel to help strengthen and protect7,11
ProEmalj contains 1450ppm fluoride in an optimised formulation designed to maximise intraoral fluoride. By omitting components that inhibit fluoride uptake, which are present in many fluoride toothpastes, this unique ProEmalj dual-action formulation enhances remineralisation and inhibits demineralisation, strengthening and protecting enamel.1–4
ProEmalj optimised formulation:
- No phosphates2,6,7
- No polyvalent metal ions7
- Ionic form of fluoride7
- No SLS8
- Neutral pH9
- Low abrasivity10,12\
SLS, sodium lauryl sulphate*Compared with tested, non-optimised fluoride toothpastes
Dual protection for stronger, more resilient enamel7,13
The unique ProEmalj formulation actively improves mineral uptake and leaves enamel more resilient to subsequent acid challenges.7,13

Sensodyne ProEmalj maintains higher levels of fluoride
In an in situ study against a non-optimised fluoride toothpaste, the optimised ProEmalj formulation maintained higher levels of fluoride in subjects’ saliva 1 hour after brushing.3

Sensodyne ProEmalj creates an environment in the mouth that supports fast remineralisation3
In an in situ study against a non-optimised fluoride toothpaste, the optimised ProEmalj formulation1 maintained higher calcium bioavailability in subjects’ saliva.

Sensodyne ProEmalj enhances remineralisation by delivering up to 3 times more fluoride uptake into enamel in vitro†16
Up to 3X higher fluoride uptake† in vitro vs. a non-optimised, 1450ppm fluoride NaF toothpaste16
In laboratory studies, ProEmalj delivered more fluoride, deeper into the enamel for superior remineralisation vs. a non-optimised fluoride toothpaste.†16

Sensodyne ProEmalj improves mineral uptake, leaving enamel more resilient to subsequent acid challenge7
In an in situ study, ProEmalj increased the surface microhardness of acid-softened enamel, leaving it stronger and more resilient to dietary acid challenges,7,17 with 25% greater surface microhardness recovery vs. a non-optimised fluoride toothpaste.7
