Compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of dental caries

摘要

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for prevention and treatment of dental caries. A dental paste is produced from a silicate containing hydroxyapatite (SiHAp) powder, an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid. The dental paste is applied to an enamel of a tooth, dissolves a portion of the enamel and integrates with the enamel of the tooth to produce a synthetic enamel. The dental paste crystallizes by integrating with a chemically incomplete portion of the tooth. The synthetic enamel comprises a chemical composition and a crystal structure approximately the same as the hydroxyapatite of a tooth prior to treatment with the dental paste.
