CALCIUM PHOSPHATE COMPLEX FOR ORAL CARE APPLICATIONS, ITS PREPARATION METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

In the oral environment, the phosphates and calcium ions in the liquid phase (saliva) and the solid phase (enamel) maintain a dynamic equilibrium between demineralisation and re-mineralisation. This equilibrium may be unbalanced by various factors, which leads to an increase in demineralisation but teeth can be repaired and caries can be prevented or alleviated by inhibiting the oral bacterial growth or buffering the acidity caused by soft drinks or bacterial metabolism.
