Special fluoride compound contained in elmex preparations. The amine fluoride olaflur is particularly effective in mineralizing and protecting the teeth for optimal caries prophylaxis. Their special chemical structure (wetting agents) enables olaflur to accumulate quickly and effectively on the teeth surfaces, where it promotes the formation of a fluoride-containing protective layer. This layer is particularly effective in protecting the tooth from acid attack. At the same time, the saliva - together with the fluoride - can more easily reach the narrow interdental spaces and pits of the molars, i.e. inaccessible sites where caries is particularly likely to start.
