KAREX gelée
For special caries prophylaxis with high-dose hydroxyapatite
- Caries prevention through remineralisation with calcium and BioHAP
- Reduces the pain sensitivity of teeth
- Recommended for sensitive teeth and after bleaching
- Fluoride-free, sugar-free
- Calcium (a major component of BioHAP) protects teeth from bacterial acids
- Daily use
For additional protection of the teeth, Karex gelée has been developed for the needs of the users. Karex gelée is a gel for the remineralisation of tooth enamel, to support caries prophylaxis and to reduce sensitivity to pain. It remineralizes the enamel with hydroxyapatite and can be used for daily dental care directly after brushing the teeth. The pleasantly mild taste makes it easy even for small children and people with pain-sensitive teeth to incorporate the jelly into their daily dental care routine. The gel can also reduce the pain sensitivities that can occur after professional whitening. Chalk teeth are not completely formed enamel. Additional remineralization is important to protect the tooth and prevent sensitivity. The calcium it contains protects teeth from demineralisation (loss of minerals due to acid) and supports natural remineralisation (replenishment of calcium) in the teeth.

Karex gelée ingredients and their function
| INCI* | English name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Hydroxyapatite | Hydroxyapatite |
Hydroxyapatite: - Remineralisation / repairs weakened enamel and dentine - Occludes exposed tubules on the tooth neck, thus preventing sensitive teeth - Biomimetic biofilm control: prevents the bacterial adherence on the tooth, thus preventing caries and gingivitis - Forms a protective layer on the surface of the tooth and thereby offers additional protection against caries - Protection against acid attacks, e.g. from fruit juices ("erosion protection") - Toothlike/biomimetic: Safe if swallowed - additional Calcium source - Clinically proven plaque and caries protection |
| Calcium Lactate | Calcium lactate | Soluble calcium, bound to lactate. Calcium promotes remineralisation and supports the natural tooth repair process via saliva |
| Calcium Carbonate | Calcium carbonate | Calcium compound that is also contained in saliva. Calcium carbonate can be deposited in the biofilm (e.g. in the interdental spaces that are hard for toothbrushes to reach) and helps to protect the teeth from acids |
| Xylitol | Xylitol | Antibacterial and therefore anticariogenic, also stimulates the flow of saliva |
| Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol | Glycerin, hexane-1,2-diol, octane-1,2-diol | Mild moisturising ingredients. They also give the gel its consistency (glycerin is also the main component of many natural vegetable oils) |
| Aqua | Water | Excipient |
| Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Hydroxyacetophenone, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Hydroxyethylcellulose | Starch, hydroxyacetophenone, short-chain (liquid) polyethylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, cellulose derivative (similar to cellulose from plants) | These ingredients give the gel its consistency, moisture and solidity |
| Aroma, Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Powder, Limonene, Citral | Flavourings, stevia, lime aroma, citral | Mild citrus mint flavour |
After brushing your teeth, apply Karex gelée to your teeth every day using a soft toothbrush or finger (only apply, do not brush) and distribute it with your tongue. For easier application, apply smaller amounts of Karex gelée to your toothbrush/finger several times and distribute them in your mouth. The gelée should not be rinsed out.

Expert tip
The longer Karex gelée is applied, the more effectively the enamel can be remineralised. It is therefore recommended to apply the gelée in the evening after brushing your teeth and to leave it on overnight. This allows the effect to unfold optimally. The active ingredient BioHAP is also harmless if swallowed
