Remineralization From Demineralization

The current change in the approach to dental caries and the popularity of minimal invasive dentistry and preventive dentistry have resulted in an increased demand for materials to remineralize the tooth structure.These agents are an adjunct to preventive dentistry and research is on to find a suitable remineralizing agent that can result in complete reversal of the carious process and complete remineralization of the enamel and dentin.Clinicians should diagnose and treat non cavitated incipient lesions with an emphasis on remineralization and prevention rather than restoration.The greater our ability to arrest the disease and the more we take advantage of remineralization technologies, the better our patients are served.
