Non-Tech : Enamelon (ENML) - Does anyone follow this? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Sure. ENML had a small display area, in fact the smallest available, tucked in at one of the side aisles of the convention floor. There were three "kids" manning the booth. There was a TV monitor towards the front of the booth, but nobody was stopping to watch. The volume was too low to hear, and the convention was kinda crowded and noisy. When I arrived, there was a dentist grilling one of the exhibitors on why the calcium phosphate was listed as an inactive ingredient, when the claims from ENML were that this is what set it apart from other toothpastes. The answers were vague. They mentioned a nationwide rollout in April. They were also giving out samples like crazy, unlike Colgate, where you had to listen to a short, informal presentation before getting the stuff. I asked the Colgate rep if he had heard of ENML, and he said that he had. However, it's "just another fluoride toothpaste." He then attempted to sell me a gross of prescription only toothpaste which has a much higher fluoride concentration than any of it's competitors. I received some literature from the ENML people, with some studies regarding rat teeth and dog teeth hanging from kid's orthodontic brackets in a study. I haven't had time to really study it yet, but the last line of the studies said that they were somehow either sponsored or paid for by ENML. If anyone is interested, I can get the literature up to my computer and give more details.

Sincerely,
RFH

Harry,

Did you see Crest EXtra Whitening Toothpaste sample? On tube, it says "Sodium Fluoride Anticavity Toothpaste".

You probably noticed that short interest increased (slightly):

And yet another small scale clinical study:
