Modern innovations in dentistry make it possible to provide high-quality dental care and restore damaged tooth enamel even without a visit to the dentist. A drug with such “cosmic” capabilities is Remars Gel. When should you trust your teeth to this dental gel, what special properties does it have, and does Remarsgel really guarantee 100% enamel restoration?
What is Remarsgel
What special qualities does Remarsgel have if this product has been included in the first aid kit of astronauts since 2005? Dental gel (or toothpaste) Remars Gel is designed to restore weakened enamel and prevent tooth decay.
Restoration of enamel occurs by replenishing the lack of minerals in the teeth and returning them to their original strength.
Used for treatment and prevention:
- erosion of dental tissue;
- prevention of caries and its elimination in the “white spot” stage;
- symptomatic therapy for hyperesthesia (increased sensitivity) with non-carious lesions of dental tissue (erosion of hard tissues, wedge-shaped defects, fluorosis, increased abrasion of enamel, etc.);
- demineralization and loss of enamel;
- the formation of periodontal plaques or other periodontal deposits;
- restoration of tooth enamel after whitening procedures;
- for children from the beginning of the eruption of permanent teeth (from 6 years of age).
Remarsgel is an excellent addition after:
- professional cleaning such as Air Flow;
- corrections using braces;
- any type of tooth whitening.
Any professional whitening leads to damage to the enamel, which leads to severe pain when eating sweet or cold foods. Already after using Remarsgel twice, the sensitivity of the enamel after whitening is removed.
Often the beginning of the eruption of permanent teeth becomes the impetus for the appearance of caries. This is due to the “risk zone” of young enamel, its inferiority due to incomplete mineralization.
Using Remars Gel toothpaste allows you to protect your child’s teeth and replenish the enamel with mineral components.
The best toothpaste without fluoride: composition
First, I would like to say a few words about fluoride-free toothpastes, which we conventionally classify as “outdated generation.” The fact is that they have a much lower price - in comparison with high-quality toothpastes based on real medical nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP). We have already said above that the simplest toothpaste without fluoride will contain one of the following compounds:
- calcium glycerophosphate,
- calcium lactate,
- calcium pantothenate,
- calcium citrate,
- calcis®.
Important: the highest quality 1st generation fluoride-free toothpastes will contain the combination “calcium glycerophosphate + magnesium chloride” (this combination is patented as Mineralin ® and is used in ROCS toothpastes). The fact is that magnesium ions are able to activate the work of metal-dependent enzymes (acid and alkaline phosphatases), on which the efficiency of hydrolysis of calcium glycerophosphate into active calcium ions and phosphates depends.
In turn, SPLAT toothpastes contain a patented compound - Calcis ®, which is a complex of calcium compounds obtained from eggshells. It includes the water-soluble calcium dihydrogen phosphate, acetate, lactate, succinate, citrate and tartrate. However, neither Mineralin® nor Kaltsis® will make toothpaste without fluoride even close to the anti-caries effectiveness of toothpastes with fluoride or nano-hydroxyapatite. Therefore, they are best used only in children aged 0 to 6 years (and only in those who have the lowest risk of developing dental caries).
Why strengthen tooth enamel?
Although tooth enamel is the hardest tissue in the body, modern lifestyle often destroys this super-hard tissue, and many people are forced to replace their “natural” teeth with artificial ones. The appearance of microcracks in enamel is promoted by negative factors of everyday life in the form of:
- improper brushing of teeth;
- irregularities in dental care;
- use of wine, carbonated drinks, too hard or acidic foods;
- smoking;
- aggressive impurities in water, air, food;
- stress and diseases accompanied by decreased immunity.
The combination of aggressive environmental factors, improper or insufficient dental care and “junk” food quickly destroys the enamel. Therefore, the developers of many toothpastes set themselves the goal of covering tooth enamel with a special film that can protect teeth from destruction.
So far, one of the best types of such gel-like pastes is the Remars Gel remineralizing complex.

Composition and description of the drug
Remars Gel consists of a kit consisting of two 75 mg tubes. Bottle No. 1 contains calcium salts (calcium citrate), and bottle No. 2 contains ammonium salts (ammonium hydrogen phosphate). This dental gel also contains natural oils (menthol, bergamot) and a whitening complex.
Components of 1 tube:
- calcium nitrate;
- sodium compounds (carboxymethylcellulose, propylparaben, methylparaben, saccharin);
- water;
- sorbitol;
- aromatic components.
Tube No. 2 contains:
- ammonium hydrogen phosphate;
- carboxymethylcellulose;
- sodium compounds (methylparaben, saccharin, propylparaben);
- water;
- menthol;
- sorbitol;
- aromatic compounds.
Additional components of the gel are medicinal herbs in the form of extracts from chamomile, calendula, echinacea, sage, aloe vera, green tea, yarrow, and nettle.
How the drug works
Bacteria present in any food produce various acids. As a result, calcium molecules are destroyed, which damages the teeth themselves.
Using both gels in the correct sequence promotes the chemical reaction that occurs as a result of the combination of calcium nitrate and ammonium hydrogen phosphate. In this case, the teeth are covered with a film similar in composition to the natural mineral component hydroxyapatite.
As a result of the binding of the gel components, small crystals penetrate into the tooth enamel, restoring the tooth surface from the inside. Burshite crystals penetrate deeply into the enamel and restore its “holes”. As a result, damaged areas of the teeth are completely regenerated.
Additionally, Remars Gel fills any microcracks in the teeth, affecting areas of demineralization. As a result, new fillings of minerals are formed in the teeth, and the teeth themselves resume their shine and smoothness.
The most effective toothpastes -
True, in this section we will talk about toothpastes that contain both calcium and fluoride. Yes, it is fluoride, but this information will be useful to you. Moreover, if we are talking about toothpastes with outdated calcium compounds (for example, calcium glycerophosphate), then calcium and fluoride in one tube is not very good. Scientific research shows that in this case, the presence of calcium reduces the concentration of active fluoride ions - to approximately 50% of their declared content in the tube.
However, at the moment, modern technologies make it possible to stabilize the simultaneous content of fluorides - together with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP), tricalcium phosphate (TCP), as well as amorphous calcium phosphate associated with casein phosphopeptides (CPP-ACP). Casein phosphopeptides can also act as calcium and fluorine stabilizers. For example, in this case, amorphous calcium phosphate associated with casein phosphopeptides and fluorine will have the abbreviation CPP-ACPF.
So, any of these calcium compounds, stabilized with fluoride, will be more effective in terms of mineralization and protection of teeth from caries than any modern calcium compound without fluoride (even if we are talking about CPP-ACP, nHAP). Therefore, if the absence of fluoride in toothpaste is not your fundamental requirement, it is better to choose medicinal toothpastes for caries that contain both fluoride and calcium (see the link below). And if the requirement for the absence of fluoride is strict, then it is better to choose a toothpaste with nano-hydroxyapatite, or a tooth gel with CPP-ACP.

Advantages
- Completely safe for health;
- reduces the sensitivity of tooth enamel;
- restores damaged enamel;
- absence of fluorides and synthetic fragrances in the composition;
- the ability to refresh the mouth due to the content of natural oils of menthol and bergamot;
- no foam during use;
- eliminates caries in the white spot stage;
- harmless to enamel due to the absence of large or solid particles;
- eliminates plaque.
Contraindications
The only contraindication for the use of Remarsgel is individual sensitivity to the product.
It is also not recommended to use this gel:
- with fresh injuries to the oral cavity;
- in the presence of acute inflammatory processes in the oral cavity;
- children under 12 years old.
Basic rules of application
Let's consider point by point how to properly use Remarsgel:
- Rinse your mouth well with warm water.
- Brush your teeth with a clean, damp brush for 1-2 minutes until plaque or food debris disappears.
- Alternately apply the gel from each tube using brushing movements from the gums to the edges of the teeth. In total, brushing your teeth should take about 5 minutes. The gels in tubes have different colors: blue in the first bottle and orange in the second. Both gels have a mint taste.
- Apply the composition from tube No. 1 to the toothbrush and brush your teeth for 1 minute.
- Without washing off the product from the first tube, brush your teeth with the composition from tube No. 2.
- Rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm water.
The main nuances of using Remarsgel are:
- After mixing both gels in the mouth, the color of the composition should turn white. This confirms that teeth are being brushed correctly.
- After brushing your teeth with the composition from tube No. 1, do not rinse the brush with water and rinse your mouth.
After using Remarsgel, your gums may pinch and your teeth may ache, but these sensations quickly pass.
Special notes on the course of treatment
What is the duration of the course and features of treatment with Remarsgel?
- The duration of the course of treatment is 20-25 days with a regularity of 1-2 times a day.
- For prevention, a course of 10-15 procedures 3-4 times a year is sufficient.
- You can use the product at home.
- Individual regimens for treatment with Remarsgel are acceptable. After complete restoration of the enamel, it is often recommended to use this product 1-2 times a week to consolidate the effect and maintain the normal condition of the teeth.
Often, one course of treatment is enough to completely restore tooth enamel.
After a course of treatment, in addition to eliminating hypersensitivity, teeth become more resistant to staining (coffee, tea, beets, wine, etc.)
Fluoride-free toothpastes for children –
The enamel of children's teeth after they erupt contains very little calcium, i.e. is low-mineralized. Such porous enamel is very vulnerable to the effects of cariogenic bacteria in the oral cavity, and therefore children's teeth are especially quickly affected by caries. Toothpastes with fluoride protect teeth well from caries, but if you need to choose a toothpaste without fluoride, the latter must contain calcium. The best calcium compound in children's toothpastes is nano-hydroxyapatite.
In the ranking of fluoride-free toothpastes for children, in our opinion, the undisputed leader is the PRESIDENT line of Italian toothpastes. As you will see below, these pastes have an excellent composition and a very reasonable price. Also, in our opinion, SPLAT pastes are very interesting - due to the content of a complex of lactic enzymes that protect the mucous membrane from stomatitis and thrush.
Biorepair Kids toothpaste with strawberry flavor (from 0 to 6 years) –
- manufacturer: Italy,
- active substances – 15% nano-hydroxyapatite (MicroRepair®), zinc ions,
- abrasiveness – RDA 14.7,
- without fluoride, lauryl sulfate and parabens,
- 50 ml tube – from 350 to 400 rubles.
Comments: Biorepair Kids toothpaste contains 15% nano-hydroxyapatite (MicroRepair® particles, which, as we established above, range in size from 50 to 100 nanometers). In our opinion, this is the best fluoride-free children's toothpaste intended for children from 0 to 6 years old. In addition, the paste contains natural strawberry extract and is absolutely safe if swallowed. Zinc ions have a mild antibacterial effect. High degree of protection against caries and remineralizing effect (which will be even higher if you sometimes combine it with fluoride toothpaste). There is also a little bonus inside the package - a coloring book for children.
A slightly less effective analogue of this toothpaste is KAREX Kihder toothpaste (Germany), which contains micro-sized hydroxyapatite particles. The concentration of hydroxyapatite in this toothpaste is 10%, and its anti-caries effectiveness will be lower than that of Biorepair Kids.
Toothpaste ROCS PRO Kids “Wild Berries” (from 3 to 7 years) –
manufacturer – Russia,- active ingredients – hydroxyapatite, calcium glycerophosphate, magnesium chloride, 10% xylitol, honeysuckle extract,
- RDA - not specified,
- without fluoride, lauryl sulfate and parabens,
- the price for a 45 g tube is about 270 rubles.
Comments: a good toothpaste from a Russian manufacturer, which contains hydroxyapatite microparticles. In addition, the manufacturer cunningly indicated that a 50% hydroxyapatite suspension was used in the production of the toothpaste, but you should understand that this has nothing to do with the percentage of hydroxyapatite in the toothpaste itself (by the way, the manufacturer does not disclose it). The paste also additionally contains calcium glycerophosphate, as well as magnesium chloride, which accelerates its decomposition with the release of active calcium ions. The xylitol content is certainly also a big plus, and honeysuckle extract will have a slight anti-inflammatory effect.
Toothpaste SPLAT Baby “apple-banana” (from 0 to 3 years) –
instructions for use- manufacturer: Russia
- contains – hydroxyapatite, L-arginine, milk enzyme complex (lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, glucose oxidase), licorice extract, Aloe Vera gel,
- without fluoride, lauryl sulfate and parabens,
- price: tube 40 ml – from 150 rub.
Comments: toothpaste for children from 0 to 3 years old with apple-banana flavor. Contains a small concentration of hydroxyapatite, and in terms of the remineralizing effect, this toothpaste will be significantly inferior to the first two. An absolute plus of this paste is that it contains a complex of lactic enzymes, which increases the local immunity of the oral mucosa, which will prevent the development of herpetic stomatitis, as well as oral thrush.
This paste also contains a large amount of plant extracts and L-arginine, which reduce inflammation of the mucous membrane during teething. The paste is completely safe if accidentally swallowed. The paste kit includes a silicone finger brush. In general, this is a very worthy toothpaste for children, but in terms of the effect of remineralization and protection of teeth from caries, it is weaker than the first two. But this paste is stronger in terms of preventing stomatitis and fungal infections of the oral cavity in children, and it also reduces unpleasant symptoms during teething.
Reviews
There are many reviews of Remarsgel on the Internet.
Anna, 40 years old
I was worried about increased tooth wear and increased sensitivity, and no medicinal pastes helped me. After using Remarsgel, my teeth became significantly stronger and stopped crumbling and bothering me.
Tatyana Ivanovna
I read some positive reviews and bought Remars Gel to get rid of tooth sensitivity. But personally, this gel did not help me - on the contrary, my teeth became even more vulnerable.
Yaroslav, 26 years old
After treatment with braces, I experienced increased sensitivity of my teeth. The Remars Gel complex was recommended to me by an orthodontist. After just two uses, a noticeable effect appeared. I consider the disadvantage of the product to be high cost, uneconomical consumption and a long cleaning process.
Irina Konstantinovna, dentist
I often use Remarsgel in my practice, especially in the treatment of caries at the white spot stage. There are not so many such drugs with an excellent restorative effect in the initial stages of caries. Conveniently, this product can be used at home, in out-of-hospital settings.
Remarsgel is recommended by dentists. Feedback from dentists and patients after using this product is mostly positive. Occasionally one comes across statements about the ineffectiveness of Remarsgel, but their percentage is small.
