What is "RemarsGel"
Remars Gel is a dental gel (medicated toothpaste) for restoring the enamel layer and preventing its destruction. The active components of the drug replenish the deficiency of minerals in the hard tissues of the oral cavity, due to which they are noticeably strengthened and receive additional protection from external aggressive factors. Among the indications for the use of this complex, experts in the field of dentistry highlight the following phenomena and conditions:
- erosive enamel damage,
- caries at the “white spot” stage,
- hyperesthesia – increased sensitivity, including after a whitening procedure or bite correction with braces,
- wedge-shaped defects,
- fluorosis,
- pathological abrasion,
- demineralization of enamel,
- the formation of abundant supra- and subgingival deposits - the active components of the gel influence the formation of dental plaque, preventing the hardening of plaque and the appearance of stone.
The active components of the drug compensate for the deficiency of minerals in hard tissues.
RemarsGel is often prescribed after professional cleaning with a laser or ultrasound in combination with Air Flow sandblasting, after a course of orthodontic treatment with braces or professional whitening. All of the above factors can lead to a significant deterioration in the condition of the enamel. As a result, there is a risk of developing hyperesthesia, when teeth become too sensitive to any temperature changes and chemical irritants. According to reviews from dentists and patients, Remars Gel allows you to relieve sensitivity after just two uses.
The drug is often prescribed after the Air Flow teeth cleaning system
On a note! Since 2005, RemarsGel has been a paste for astronauts on the ISS. Since 2013, the complex has gone into mass production, and now its capabilities are available to everyone.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the importance of using a remineralizing gel during the eruption of permanent incisors and molars. While they are covered with young and not yet strong enamel, they remain at risk of developing caries. The use of Remars Gel paste provides additional protection for teeth during the change of primary dentition.
Why do you need to strengthen your teeth enamel?
Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body. However, it is constantly exposed to external aggressive factors, and also weakens under the influence of internal pathological processes. Because of this, the protective layer becomes thinner, and microcracks and chips appear on the teeth. This is facilitated by many different factors, among which experts identify the following prerequisites:
- irregular cleaning or improper cleaning technique,
- aggressive temperature, acid and mechanical effects - temperature changes in food and drinks, excessive consumption of foods high in acids, constant exposure to nicotine, injury from too hard foods, etc.,
- negative environmental impact and high content of aggressive impurities in tap water,
- constant stress, nervous disorders and weakened immunity.
Many factors contribute to the appearance of microcracks.
Insufficient care in combination with external and internal negative factors leads to the gradual destruction of the enamel. Remars Gel gel paste is a composition rich in important micronutrients. After its use, a special protective film is formed on the enamel, which inhibits the pathological process and strengthens weakened dental tissues.
Review of some liquid prostheses based on sodium hyaluronate
1. Gialgan Phidias
One of the most affordable products with a very low molecular weight, which is an aqueous solution of hyaluronic acid. The fluid is quickly distributed in the joint capsule, but is also quickly absorbed into the ligaments and adjacent muscles. A local reaction is possible within 24 hours after administration.
Some liquid hyaluronic acid-based prostheses lead to swelling and redness of the skin
2. Duralan
A product with a low molecular weight is recommended for use during remission - to maintain joints. In large ones, a dosage of 3 ml is administered, in small ones - 1 ml, in courses with an interval of six months.
3. Fermatron
The drug is indicated for moderate forms of osteoarthritis and is available in sealed glass syringes with a volume of 2 ml. The medicine is not patented, so its pharmacokinetics have not been studied enough. There are virtually no clinical indications regarding interactions with other medications. The drug, however, is approved for use during pregnancy and lactation, although many doctors prohibit its administration during pregnancy, as well as in patients under 18 years of age.
The maximum period of action of Fermatron is up to 6 months
4. Adantom
Produced by a Japanese pharmaceutical company in syringes, it contains 25 milligrams of the active substance - sodium hyaluron. Before administration, the viscoelastic agent is warmed and injected using a 22G needle.
5. Sinokrom
A special feature of this medication is a specialized lock on the disposable syringe, which prevents accidental opening of the container. The product is administered in a course of six injections every one week. Manufacturer: Austrian pharmaceutical company.
6. Ostenil
This Swiss development is also based on hyaluronic acid. The drug must be stored in a cool, dry place, and before administration, make sure the syringe is tight. Hyaluronate and mannitol in the product protect joints from free radicals, which somewhat prolongs the duration of the medication. The course involves at least 3-5 injections. After each of them, a burning sensation is possible, which is eliminated with ice.
7. Hyastat
One of the Russian developments, produced in a sterile disposable syringe with a capacity of 20 milligrams. Before administration, the patient is always given an x-ray of the joint, and general clinical blood and urine tests are taken to exclude inflammatory processes in the body. If the outcome is positive, the course of treatment is repeated after a year.
Giastat is administered in courses of 3-5 injections at intervals of several months.
8. Go On
Another product based on sodium hyaluronate, which demonstrates stable positive dynamics in the treatment of arthrosis and osteoarthritis. Used to replenish synovial fluid deficiency.
9. Synvisc
Biological analogue of hyaluronic acid with high molecular weight – 6,000,000 Daltons. For the treatment of arthrosis of the knee joint, 3 injections are recommended at intervals of a week. For diseases of the hip, shoulder or ankle joint, one injection is performed, and to achieve a better effect, a second one is performed 1-3 months later. The effect, according to clinical indications, is on average up to 26 weeks, with a maximum of 52 weeks in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
Synvisc – a drug with maximum molecular weight – lasts from 6 to 12 months
How does Remars Gel work?
Remains of food in the oral cavity form plaque. In fact, these are accumulations of bacteria, the waste products of which become aggressive acids. They destroy calcium molecules, which is why the enamel gradually weakens and becomes less protected from external factors. Using Remars Gel involves sequential application of formulations from two different bottles. Their active components react with each other, as a result of which a special protective film is formed on the surface of the teeth - its composition is as close as possible to the natural mineral component hydroxyapatite.
Using the gel involves sequential application from two different bottles
The active ingredients of the drug penetrate the internal structures of the enamel and restore it from the inside. Regeneration of damaged areas occurs, due to which dental tissues are saturated with useful microelements, become stronger and become resistant to external irritants.
“After my braces were removed, my teeth became very sensitive. I couldn’t drink hot tea, it was very unpleasant. I went to the hygienist, and she told me that the braces were not removed very carefully, and in some places the enamel was slightly damaged. I was then prescribed Remarsgel. It got better almost immediately, after the second use. True, the drug is expensive, and its consumption is not very economical"
Alina, from correspondence on the woman.ru forum
The composition of "RemarsGel" fills microcracks, thereby restoring areas of demineralization. The product allows you to restore healthy shine and smoothness to your teeth, provide additional protection against caries and other pathological processes, and gives your smile a natural whiteness.
How do composite light-curing materials work?
Enamel Plus belongs to the group of composite materials and, like others, it uses two main components - an organic matrix and an inorganic filler. The organic matrix of all materials is approximately the same - it is a monomer, which becomes a polymer under the influence of radiation, as well as catalysts, dyes and activators.
The main differences between restoration materials are determined by the choice of inorganic filler. Typical “fillers” are quartz, various types of glass, zirconium, etc. The particles vary in size, shape and can be mixed in different proportions.
For a long time, manufacturers of materials for direct dental restoration have been faced with a dilemma: to make the material beautiful or durable. The fact is that the more inorganic filler, the stronger the material, but the less transparent it is, the less polished it is and the faster it loses its aesthetic properties. This occurs due to the loss of relatively large particles of filler from the surface of the filling; at the microscopic level, this looks like “pores”.
In the early 2000s, nanocomposite materials appeared, which included very small filler particles (0.1-100 nanomicrons in size). This made the restoration materials more uniform, transparent and easy to polish. At the same time, aesthetic qualities were achieved without compromising the strength of the material.
What are the advantages?
- absolute safety for dental health and the body as a whole,
- elimination of signs of hyperesthesia - decreased sensitivity,
- restoration of injured areas and areas of demineralization,
- absence of fluorides and synthetic fragrances in the composition,
- effective prevention of caries and its elimination at the “white spot” stage,
- lack of abrasiveness - safety for the enamel layer,
- effective removal of plaque and soft deposits,
- the ability to freshen breath - due to natural oils of bergamot and menthol.

Good polish is very important
The presence of nanoparticles in Enamel Plus allows you to perfectly polish the surface of the restored tooth, give it the most natural appearance and ensure an ideal fit of the filling to the tooth.
The polishing kit comes with a lot of pastes, rubber bands and brushes, so if the doctor spares no effort and the patient is patient, the restoration will retain its appearance for many years, and the “filling and tooth” border will not be stained with food pigments.
Instructions for use
Before starting to use the two-component complex, be sure to carefully read the instructions for use. The universal scheme is described below:
- first, rinse your mouth thoroughly and brush your teeth with a clean, damp brush for 1-2 minutes,
- Apply the gel from each bottle one by one, using gentle brushing movements from the gums to the cutting edge. The average duration of the procedure is 5 minutes. The blue gel from the first bottle should be applied first, followed by the orange composition from the second tube,
- apply a small amount of gel from the first tube to the brush and brush your teeth for a couple of minutes,
- without rinsing off the product, apply the composition from the second bottle to the brush and also perform standard cleaning,
- Upon completion of the procedure, rinse your mouth thoroughly with plain water at room temperature.
The photo shows instructions for using the drug.
After mixing the contents of the two tubes, the product should turn white. Keep in mind that after treatment, the oral mucosa may tingle slightly, but the discomfort will quickly pass. Usually the course takes no more than 20-25 days. The regularity of repeating cleaning is 1-2 times a day. For preventive purposes, experts advise taking a course of 10-15 procedures 3-4 times a year. If there are problems, the doctor will prescribe an individual regimen for using the drug.
Differences in molecular weight
All liquid synovial fluid prostheses are divided into three groups based on molecular weight. Those in which it is as high as possible are considered more effective, since each of them has multiple intermolecular cross-links. Due to them, the medicine dissolves for a long time and during this entire time provides an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effect.
Molecular weight, Dalton | Medicines | Average cost per injection, rub. | Clinical features |
500 000 – 730 000 | Gialgan Fidia (Italy), Intragel (Italy), Suplasin | 3000-4500 | Large number of injections, minimal duration |
1 000 000 | Ostenil, Fermatron plus (UK), Viscosil, Duralan | From 4000-5000 | Requires approximately 5 injections per course, but the effect is short-term |
2 000 000-3 000 000 | Synvisc (USA), Sinokrom form, Giastat (Russia), Gialux (South Korea), Visco plus (Germany) | From 3000 to 20,000 | Number of injections – less than five, effect – several months |
6 000 000-7 000 000 | Synvisc One (USA), Synvisc Gilan | From 23 000 | The effect is longer lasting |
More than 10,000,000 | Noltrex | 3000 | The effect lasts for more than a year with a minimum number of injections per course |
Lack of active movement in old age quickly worsens the symptoms of arthrosis. A simple experiment will show why this happens:
It is most promising today to treat arthrosis, regardless of its degree, with synthetic viscoprostheses. Due to their high molecular weight, such products, for example Noltrex, provide a long-lasting effect, and due to the polymer structure they have virtually no contraindications or side effects.
More information about indications for use
The active components act specifically on the focus of demineralization, which greatly distinguishes this product from other analogues. The product does not have abrasive particles, which prevents abrasion and injury to the enamel. Next, let’s look in more detail at the capabilities and scope of application of Remars Gel.
Common causes of enamel damage
As mentioned above, in everyday life our teeth are constantly exposed to quite aggressive external influences: from intensive brushing with a too hard brush to acids contained in any food. Over time, the enamel can become thin and sensitive.
Frequent consumption of acidic foods can lead to enamel sensitivity
To avoid this, it is enough to carefully monitor the cleanliness of the oral cavity, regularly brush your teeth twice a day, with a properly selected brush and toothpaste, and undergo a professional procedure twice a year. hygiene and use additional products to strengthen and saturate hard tissues with micronutrients - RemarsGel will be the optimal choice for these purposes.
How stress and environmental conditions affect our teeth
Residents of megacities are especially susceptible to problems associated with the destruction of the enamel layer, since this process is also facilitated by the unfavorable environmental situation around them. Aggressive impurities in the air, water or food inevitably enter the body and directly affect the condition of our teeth.
Stress has a detrimental effect on dental health
In addition, enamel, like many other organs, is extremely sensitive to stress and nervous experiences. During periods of increased anxiety, its protective properties weaken in the same way as other protective mechanisms in the body. In this regard, RemarsGel can provide additional support and protection for our smile.
Quick help on business trips and travel
For those who are often away from home, Remars Gel can be a real salvation. If you do not have the opportunity to regularly visit the dentist and undergo all the necessary preventive procedures, this drug will be an excellent alternative and will help protect you from sudden dental problems. The product is sold in compact bottles that are convenient to take with you on the go.
Orthodontic treatment and whitening
The drug is recommended as a restorative therapy after removal of the braces system. It is also often prescribed after professional cleaning of plaque and deposits, and after in-office whitening to reduce sensitivity and restore the density of the enamel layer.

Clinical study
RemarsGel is a product that has the unique ability to restore damaged or weakened tooth enamel that is ready for damage; it was originally called Remogel. Research on this drug took place at the Department of Pediatric Therapeutic Dentistry of the Moscow State Medical and Dental University. The purpose of the test was to determine the compliance of the Remogel gel with the possibility and feasibility of its use in dental institutions of the Russian Federation.
During the test, the simplicity and accessibility of the method of using the gel was revealed, and a pronounced remineralizing effect of the gel on foci of demineralization in caries was established. The study showed that Remogel successfully passed medical tests and can be recommended for widespread use in medical practice.
Dissertation of Doctor of Medical Sciences Volkov Evgeniy Alekseevich:
“Pathological changes in the hard tissues of teeth often begin with focal demineralization, leading to dental caries and its complications, as well as non-carious lesions, accompanied by dentin exposure and hyperesthesia. Therefore, mineralization of enamel and dentin, elimination of focal demineralization and hyperesthesia of teeth are a measure for the prevention of more severe pathological processes... A new generation of domestic dental materials and new methods of mineralizing therapy for the pathology of hard dental tissues with the material “BV” (for clinical use - approx. “Gekom”) and a set of gels “Remogel” (now “RemarsGel” - note by “Gekom”) were introduced into practical healthcare at the industry level (included in the State Register).”
"RemasGel" for children during the period of change of bite
During the period of change in the primary occlusion, when permanent teeth begin to emerge, it is important to provide maximum care and proper oral hygiene. This will prevent many dental problems. Immediately after their appearance, permanent teeth remain fragile for some time, and during this period they are especially susceptible to caries and other diseases. "Remars Gel" for children can become reliable support and protection against pathological processes. The drug will help accelerate the mineralization of hard tissues, strengthen them faster and provide them with a protective shell.
What are the differences between drugs based on sodium hyaluronate and synthetic ones?
Means for restoring synovial fluid have appeared relatively recently, and hyaluronic acid, or sodium hyaluronate, its sodium salt, was chosen as the first active ingredient for replacement. It is a natural polysaccharide, a natural component of the connective tissues of the human body. There is especially a lot of hyaluronic acid in synovial fluid.
Sodium hyaluronate molecules have high hydrophilic properties - each of them attracts up to a thousand water molecules. Once inside the joint space, they restore the visco-elastic and shock-absorbing properties of the fluid.
Somewhat later, orthopedic traumatologists had access to synthetic polymer preparations, for example Noltrex, which in many respects surpassed those based on sodium hyaluronate. Noltrex is characterized by absolute biological compatibility with human tissues, therefore it does not cause allergic reactions or rejection.
The drug fills the joint space, enlarges it and normalizes the biomechanics of the joint by restoring synovial fluid. The interval for administering injections of the synthetic agent is increased due to its prolonged action - from 9 months to two years.
To treat arthrosis of the knee joint, one to four Noltrex injections per course is sufficient.
