Dr Wolff's Research
Our unique active ingredients and formulations are developed in-house in Bielefeld, and their efficacy has been proven in international clinical trials.
Bioniq® Dental Science: Made in Germany
Artificial tooth enamel
So-called artificial tooth enamel is based on the principles of bionics. Through the production of biomimetic hydroxyapatite, it has been possible to replicate a mineral substance and combine it with a toothpaste.
The principle of bionics
The term ‘bionics’ describes the combination of biology and technology. It involves applying a natural phenomenon to a technical system, for example: the camera lens was modelled on the human eye.
Spruce it up instead of wearing it out
The microcrystalline structure of hydroxyapatite adheres directly to the surface of the enamel whilst brushing. This allows even the tiniest cracks and porous areas in the enamel to be repaired.

FAQ : Frequently Asked Questions
Apatites, such as hydroxyapatite, are minerals and belong to the class of calcium phosphates. There are a number of different calcium phosphates. Hydroxyapatite is the most stable and, for humans, the most important calcium phosphate, as it forms the mineral phase of teeth and bones. The chemical formula for hydroxyapatite is: Ca₅(PO₄)₃(OH).
Hydroxyapatite plays a vital role in the human body. It forms the basis of teeth and bones. In both cases, hydroxyapatite is responsible for their hardness. Unlike many other active ingredients used in dental care, hydroxyapatite is a substance produced naturally by the body.
Bioniq® products are available in selected chemists and chemist’s sections in supermarkets, as well as in pharmacies.
