BioMin® has been under development for over a decade by scientists at Queen Mary University London and Imperial College London.
After observing the potential of Bioglass formulations through years of scientific research, BioMin Technologies Ltd. innovated ingredients for use in specialized oral care products.
BioMin® C, one of the proprietary glass materials that was developed, is capable of slowly dissolving in saliva for up to 12 hours. Over time, it releases Calcium and Phosphate to reduce tooth sensitivity, helps replace lost minerals in enamel and dentine, and helps prevent more damage to the tooth. By developing this award-winning technology, BioMin Technologies Ltd. has vastly increased the possibilities of what Bioglass application in oral care products can achieve.

Researchers compared the effects of the two toothpastes on demineralised tooth surfaces across three indicators: surface micro-hardness, surface roughness and volume gain.
Clinicians who recommend BioMin® F for their patients are hailing it as ‘more a therapy than just a toothpaste.’ The unique, smart bioactive technology that underpins BioMin F toothpaste means that regular use of the product not only cleans the teeth but protects them around the clock from dentine hypersensitivity restoring lost tooth mineral.
The science behind BioMin F is ‘compelling and wonderful’. Yorkshire dental hygienist Gill Wallis Cliffe has been using and recommending BioMin® F since 2016, having come across it by chance, and describes it as ‘one of the best discoveries’ she’s made.
Products must be innovative, scientifically proven and unique, says leading hygienist. Gitana Rėderienė is President of the Lithuanian Dental Hygienists’ Association, a practising hygienist and a distributor of oral hygiene products in the Baltic area – including BioMin® F.
‘BioMin is a great toothpaste for anyone who needs TLC for their enamel’ ‘I would encourage nearly everyone to use BioMin® F because of its remineralising action and the optimal low dose of fluoride delivery over a longer period of time.’
Dr.Collins is delighted to announce that its BioMin Restore Plus Toothpaste has received FDA 510K approval for relief of sensitivity. This is a huge breakthrough, being the first fluoride-containing bioactive glass toothpaste to be approved by the FDA for sale in the United States. The toothpaste uniquely controls the release of calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions for many hours after brushing to develop acid-resistant fluorapatite on the tooth surface and inside exposed dentine tubules.
Treat dentine hypersensitivity patients as individuals, expert says. Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) can have a major impact on quality of life – and this will vary between patients. So said Dr David Gillam, a Clinical Reader at the Barts London School of Medicine and Dentistry (QMUL) and Clinical Consultant to BioMin Technologies Ltd, speaking at BioMin’s recent webinar on dentine hypersensitivity.
Over half of dentists questioned in a recent BioMin poll believe that 50% or more of their patients suffer from dentine hypersensitivity (DH). The usual estimate is that around 30-40% of the population experiences some DH at some stage, but in practice, this figure could be higher.
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment of dentine hypersensitivity (DH), and patients should all be treated as individuals, working with the clinician to manage their condition.
