At Biomin Technologies Limited, we are pioneers in the development of advanced dental materials, dedicated to transforming oral health through science-led innovation. Originating from Queen Mary University of London, our company bridges the gap between academic discovery and real-world dental care solutions.
To become the global leader in the development of bioglass science and how those technologies are applied across dentistry, setting new standards in advanced preventive and restorative oral care.
Our products are based on patented bioactive glass technologies designed to:
This science-driven approach ensures superior performance compared to conventional oral care products.
BioMin was founded to commercialise the research of Professor Robert Hill, a leading expert in bioglass development and its dental applications.
Our initial patents were filed in 2011 which innovatively incorporated the use of fluoride in a bioactive glass for oral healthcare, with subsequent patents granted in 2013 and 2021. Our products advance the level of protection against sensitivity and help remineralise the tooth surface.
Clinical trials have shown BioMin® F to be more effective at reducing dentine hypersensitivity than the market brand leaders Sensodyne Repair & Protect and Colgate Sensitivity Pro-Relief.
To date BioMin® toothpaste products are available in over 40 countries around the world, with significant business in the UK, Europe and Australia with a launch planned in the US. BioMin is also available as an ingredient for private label toothpaste manufacturers and through our partners we have developing businesses in India, South Africa and South America. There are also other applications either on the market or under development for use in Dental Varnishes, Adhesives and Composites.

BioMin® F’s patented bioglass technology bonds to the tooth, slowly releasing fluoride for up to 12 hours enabling continuous production of acid resistant fluorapatite.
Research has shown that it’s not the quantity of fluoride that predicts a toothpaste’s ability to prevent decay, but the way it’s delivered.
Studies show BioMin® delivers superior performance with slow-release fluoride and higher phosphate, despite using 60% less fluoride than many OTC toothpastes.

"Fluoride-containing bioactive glasses: Effect of glass design and structure on degradation, pH and apatite formation in simulated body fluid" (2010).
Delia S. Brauer, Natalia Karpukhina, Matthew D. O'Donnell, Robert V. Law, Robert G. Hill
BioMin® F challenges conventional fluoride concentrations with just 530ppm, releasing it slowly for advanced protection and lasting sensitivity relief.
Bioactive glasses with more than 5mol% CaF2 form fluorite rather than fluorapatite, the fluoride analogue of the tooth mineral.
(see chart above)
A study* showed that BioMin® F with 900ppm soluble fluoride had similar apatite formation rates as BioMin® F alone, indicating the extra fluoride was washed away and therefore ineffective.

“Simply increasing the amount of fluoride is not the solution, it invariably just goes to waste.”
Head of Dental Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, England
“For fluoride treatments to be effective longer than the brushing and salivary clearance - fluoride needs to be deposited and slowly released.”
Head of the Department of Oral Health Sciences Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Netherlands
“It’s a smart material – when a child has an acidic drink, for example apple juice, BioMin® F releases its components faster to reduce the acidity and protect the teeth.”

Long Lasting Benefits
with Slow-release Fluoride
Uniquely engineered to slowly release low level fluoride along with the optimal blend of calcium and phosphate mineral ions. This forms acid resistant fluorapatite, which is stronger than enamel and clinically proven to provide continuous, long lasting protection for up to 12 hours.
Advanced Protection
with Extra Fine Particles
Designed to perform with excellence. Revolutionary bioactive material made with extra fine particles that bond to the tooth, penetrate and block any exposed pathways to the nerves, delivering superior protection against sensitivity while strengthening and protecting the tooth enamel.
Clinically Proven
with Smart pH Technology
A toothpaste that knows what you need.
Smart technology reacts to changes in oral pH triggered by sugary and acidic food and drink. It quickly releases mineral ions to neutralise acidity that could otherwise lead to decay and cause pain and sensitivity.
The pain of sensitive teeth occurs when the tooth’s nerve is exposed to triggers such as hot or cold foods.
The enamel on the surface of our teeth typically serves as a protective barrier, preventing nerve exposure. However, enamel can wear away due to damage, decay, or demineralization caused by acidic and sugary foods.
When this happens, tiny pathways called tubules, located in the inner tooth structure, are exposed. This exposure allows fluid to move through these pathways to the nerve, causing a painful sensation.
Most sensitivity toothpastes on the market offer a solution that protects the surface of the tooth, but is often quickly washed away.
BioMin offers a solution that goes deeper and lasts longer so that you can be assured that whatever your lifestyle, you are protected.
