MEANS AND METHOD FOR THE REMINERALIZATION AND PROPHYLAXY OF DENTAL ENAMEL DEMINERALIZATION

摘要

The means and the method are used in dentistry for the prophylaxy and treatment of initial forms of dental caries. The means contains water soluble calcium and phosphate salts having constant ion activity in suitable gel form which is indifferent and does not affect the oral cavity mucous membrane and teeth and does not stimulate the development of dental scale. By the method, lasting and more stable penetration of the phosphate-calcium ions and filling of the enamel cracks is achieved. By it, a two-stage gel system is used consisting of phosphate anionic gel and calcium cationic gel which are applied successively in such a manner that calcium phosphates participating in the remineralization of the enamel precipitate on the dental surface. The gels contain from 5 to 15% methylcellulose. Water soluble phosphate salts are contained in the phosphate anionic gel in concentrations, in %: from 0.4 to 10 collagen; 0.2-1 biologically active substance; 0.01 to 1 fluoride additives, and other microelements up to 0.2. The cationic gel contains in %: from 0.5 to 12 calcium soluble salts, 0.1-1 collagen, 0.01-1 biologically active substances and 0.01-2 microelements.
