PROCESSES AND COMPOSITIONS FOR REMINERALIZATION AND PREVENTION OF DEMINERALIZATION OF DENTAL ENAMEL

摘要

The present invention relates to the problems of remineralization, withoutdemineralization of dental enamel by applying to the teeth a composition whichis present in two phases which do not react with one another until introducedinto the oral cavity. One phase contains at least one water-soluble calciumcompound and the other contains at least one water-soluble inorganic phosphateand at least one water-soluble fluorine compound. In this way the ions whicheffect remineralization can be absorbed by the dental enamel and theirsubsequent reaction causes rehardening of demineralized areas in the dentalenamel.
