AN OVERVIEW ON REMINERALIZING AGENTS
Bhat Raksha, Hegde Mithra N
Abstract :
The outcome of dental caries is determined by the dynamic balance between pathological factors that lead to demineralization and protective factors that lead to remineralization. Pathological factors include acidogenic bacteria, inhibition of salivary function, and frequency of ingestion of fermentable carbohydrates. Protective factors include salivary flow, numerous salivary components, antibacterials, fluoride from extrinsic sources, and selected dietary components. While our knowledge of the dental caries process and its prevention has greatly advanced over the past fifty years, it is fair to state that the management of this disease at the level of the individual patient remains largely empirical. Minimal invasion dentistry is a key component in today’s dental practice. Its first basic principle is remineralisation of early carious lesions, advocating a biological or therapeutic approach.This article details the various agents that enhances and promotes remineralisation.
