Remineralising Agents In Paediatric Dentistry

Dental caries is a multifactorial disease that is extremely common and has been a significant public health issue for many years. Remineralisation is a technique used in modern dentistry to treat incipient caries lesions non-invasively in an effort to slow the progression of the disease and enhance appearance sturdiness and function. For the non-invasive management of dental caries biomimetic methods to stabilise bioavailable calcium phosphate and fluoride ions and localise these ions to non-cavitated caries lesions for controlled remineralization show considerable promise. Hence the purpose of this book is to provide knowledge about the various remineralizing agents aiming to treat early carious lesions.
